Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

He absolutely deserves some credit for the comeback against the Patriots but it's not like Brady played well in that game.
In that playoff run, inarguably his best, he got Brady in a C- game and was barely able to sneak by because his center recovered a fumble in the end zone. That was his apex SB win.
Compare that to Mahomes and his 3 championship runs:
2019: The Texans comeback and 49ers 4th quarter explosion
2022: The drive to get into FG range against Cincy and a nearly perfect game against Philly
2023: 4th quarter comeback against Buffalo and the drive to get to OT and winning drive in OT against SF. Not to mention the cumulative value of getting through what was, historically, the hardest SB run in NFL history.
Manning doesn't have a single post-season run that approaches the worst of Mahomes 3 championships.
Manning's post-season resume, even when you look at the good moments, just kinda sucks.
Based on my memory alone. I always viewed Manning as a regular season champ who never stepped it up in the playoffs. The best playoff game I can remember for him would be the no punt game on us.
Mahomes is like Jordan. Just goes to another level when it is elimination time. [Reply]

Never get tired of these stats. He really is the greatest football player of all time. Maybe the most incredible part is MAHOMES HAS LOST 21 GAMES?? That feels impossible. [Reply]
