Little to no chance that happens. Let’s be real about Mahomes. Is he great? Yes. But right now he is benefiting being under the best play caller in the NFL. Mahomes has quite a bit to go to pass guys like Montana and Manning. Only two QBs have ever won SBs with two different teams. Until Mahomes accomplishes that, he had a long way to go.
I’ve had you on ignore for a while but this was so laughable I had to challenge it. He’s already one of the best there’s ever been. Maybe there’s some debate on how his total career stats shake out, based on possible injury or on how long Andy Reid coaches and what Mahomes situation looks like after him, but cmon, odds look in his favor at this point. When he does move on from Reid/chiefs he will attract a winning organization just like Brady and manning did. He’s already bypassed Brady and Peyton at the same respective points in their careers and it’s not close. Brady also had arguably the best defense in the league for his first 3 SBs, and the greatest post season kicker of all time, but we’re not holding that against him in this conversation are we? You say until he wins a SB with 2 different teams, but Montana didn’t, and yet you reference him in the previous sentence.

Again, cmon man. Andy Reid, who did not win a Super Bowl before Mahomes, may very well coach a few more years with how good he’s got it going. Mahomes is on track to be the greatest of all time, and having the bill belichick of offense as his head coach doesn’t detract from that. You have to have an elite coach to win Super BowlS. We don’t take away from Brady for that. Or Montana. Or Aikman. Or Marino. Or Bradshaw. Etc. If Peyton had a competent defense for half his career, he may well have won more too.
Mahomes is the elite of the elite. Thus why current MVPs continually fall short at his hand.
