Stephen A. Smith reveals how Patrick Mahomes can finally topple Tom Brady as the NFL's greatest QB

As fans continue to use Tom Brady’s success as the bar for Patrick Mahomes, Stephen A. Smith revealed how the Chiefs star could finally set himself out of the consensus GOAT’s shadow.

Brady’s seven Super Bowl rings to Mahomes’ three remain the evergreen argument in the greatest quarterback discussion.

However, during Wednesday’s episode of First Take, Smith claimed that a threepeat would help Mahomes’ case greatly.

‘It’s never been done in the history of football,’ Smith said when asked about the feat. After noting the lack of roughness in today’s NFL, Smith emphasized how football is still the most physical sport.

‘To be in this era, with these outstanding athletes, the way the game has evolved and the kind of athletes you have to go up against,’ Smith laid out.

‘To threepeat as a Super Bowl champion, especially when you consider it’s the same quarterback, the same тιԍнт end, the same head coach, it’s the same defensive coordinator,’ he added. ‘When you look at these guys, somehow, someway, you would think at some point somebody would answer the call.’

‘If you fail to do so and they win a threepeat, Tom Brady didn’t even win back-to-back-to-back Super Bowl тιтles. It would be huge for the sport. It would be huge for the city. It would be huge for the franchise.’

‘And it would cement Patrick Mahomes as the greatest quarterback in the history of the National Football League,’ he concluded.

Mahomes and the Chiefs are two wins away from claiming their third straight тιтle.

After cruising past the Houston Texans in the divisional playoffs, the defending champions will take on the Buffalo Bills for AFC supremacy this weekend. The winner will then face the NFC victor between the Commanders and Eagles.

On the verge of making history, Mahomes is 0-2 against Brady, losing to him in the AFC championship game in 2019 and the Super Bowl in 2021.

Brady won six тιтles with the New England Patriots and another with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before retiring.
