‘[Patrick] is on the right trajectory, but right now, I would still say those guys are better.’

The trajectory would certainly be correct if Mahomes were to lead the Chiefs past the San Francisco 49ers on February 11 for their second straight title. That would put him ahead of Montana and level him with Brady in titles at 28 years old.

Pat Mahomes Sr. insists that his son should not yet be in consideration for the GOAT debate

Mahomes’ father said that Tom Brady and Joe Montana are better than his son at the moment

Mahomes has a chance to win his third title at the age of 28, placing him over Montana’s two

Montana won his second Lombardi Trophy when he was 28. On the other hand, Brady had three rings at that age.

In terms of individual success, Mahomes had won the prestigious award for the second time by the 2022 season. Both Brady and Montana did not win the award until their 30s, despite being heavily considered for it beforehand.

Mahomes may soon catch up to Montana’s four career titles but has more chasing to do with Brady’s seven.

Brady’s long-term excellence saw him win five Super Bowl MVPs, make two All-Decade teams and hold the NFL’s all-time records for passing yards and passing touchdowns among many accolades.

Nevertheless, Mahomes’ resume is undeniably impressive with two Super Bowl MVPs, an Offensive Player of the Year award and six Pro-Bowl selections in seven seasons in the NFL.

However, his father insists that there’s still work to be done. And if the Chiefs win on February 11 and continue to build their dynasty, he will surely edge closer to being in consideration for the greatest in his position.
