00:00Here is Patrick Mahomes and what he has done throughout his playoff, namely Super Bowl career.

00:06The fact he even has a three and two record, that's a distinction in itself.

00:11Playing in five Super Bowls in his seven years as a starter in Kansas City.

00:16You see the 11 total touchdowns to eight total turnovers,

00:2010 touchdown passes to seven interceptions.

00:23Not exactly the cleanest ratio like we have put on display for Patrick Mahomes

00:28throughout his AFC championships, of which he has a larger sample size of seven.

00:34But Donnie, now that Mahomes and the Chiefs have come up short, as we shared yesterday,

00:39this is not the end to their dynasty run in KC.

00:44But this era of the dynasty and the hope for three consecutive Lombardis,

00:49it has come to a close.

00:51So where does that leave the Chiefs?

00:53Where does that leave Andy Reid?

00:55Where does that define Patrick Mahomes' legacy at this moment?

00:59Buy or sell?

01:00Patrick Mahomes now has no chance to pass Tom Brady as the greatest of all time.

01:07I'm gonna sell that right now, just the way that's worded, where it has no chance, right?

01:11He's 29 years old, he's got three Super Bowls here.

01:13Let's just say he does plan on playing until he's 40 and he's healthy.

01:16That's what, 10, 11 more seasons that you can lump in there.

01:19Now understand what we're asking him to do,

01:22because LeBron James gets lined up with this as well.

01:24What's the grading point?

01:25Is it just getting the number of championships?

01:28Is it winning percentage once you get to the Super Bowl?

01:31Is it playing great at the biggest moments here?

01:33But also, we're not comparing him, like, is he top five, top 10, top 15?

01:37You are comparing him to the single greatest football player

01:40that we've ever seen throughout professional football's history

01:43by a wide margin, that is to try to track down.

01:45The stuff that Tom Brady did throughout his career in New England,

01:48and then with Tampa Bay, you're not supposed to surpass that.

01:51He set numbers you're not even supposed to get to.

01:53So just being in the conversation of, can I track down Tom Brady?

01:57Now understand this, when it's all said and done,

01:59you're still going to have those,

02:01I watched Jordan, that was my favorite player.

02:03I watched LeBron James, that was my favorite player.

02:05Because even though they did cross-sect each other and play each other,

02:08you remember Tom Brady from the early 2000s all the way through,

02:11where Holmes recently, as we like to say, has been a dominant force.

02:15And recently being like the past five to six years

02:17where you can't knock him out of the Super Bowl.

02:19But it's a tough standard to hold up to.

02:20I'll sell it because there is a chance that he can track him down.

02:24But what are we grading this on at this point?

02:26Also, understanding how hard it actually is just to get the Super Bowls.

02:30And then once you get there, just to win them.

02:32We don't look down at Patrick Mahomes as a three and two record

02:34in five Super Bowls.

02:35But then if you want to be the Jordan of football,

02:38I never lost in a championship game or Tom Brady's got seven.

02:41Is it seven that Brady has?

02:43Is he seven and three in 10 Super Bowls?

02:44Is that what it is?

02:45Correct.

02:46That's unbelievable.

02:47Yeah, it's unbelievable.

02:49I'll sell it because of how good he is.

02:51But honestly, that's a soft sell right now

02:54because Tom Brady sets stats you were never supposed to get to.
