He's a lot better than Manning. Montana threw to Rice (the GOAT), Taylor, Francis and Clark, and Craig is a better than RB than what the Chiefs have. The 49ers had some of the best defenses in the league, not just top half. Walsh was every bit of a genius that Reid is, so yeah, getting lucky in the draft helps. Mahomes has won 2 SBs even after losing Hill. I've watched all these guys play, and to me, Mahomes is only behind Brady. I don't know if he can get even 2 more SBs, but that's who he's chasing right now.He's definitely already a HOF caliber player. No one can deny it. But for some reason, no one wants to hold him to the same standard that guys like Manning and Brady were held to. Brady couldn't enter the conversation for people until he got to 4 rings or surpassed in some people's eye. People saying Mahomes is the GOAT or best we've ever seen are just jumping the gun. Guy gets drafted into the most perfect situation a player could hope for (arguably the best offensive minded HC of all time, HOF caliber WR in Hill, HOF caliber TE in Kelce) and has had a top half of the league defense every year other than his first year starting (including 3 top 8 defenses) and people just can't help themselves lol. Respect his game but to put him in the conversation of GOAT at this point is BLASPHEMOUS. His trajectory is pointing that way but they need to be comparing him to Montana and Manning before he can start the convo about being on the same level as Brady.
