I also appreciate Mahomes “fast start” he’s very promising. His 1st year starter numbers are astounding.
I have the same thoughts. He does look to have "it". Can move, can run, but isn't thinking run first like other QB's the explode on to the scene and then fade quickly. He seems to have all the tools, just needs more experience. and even being light on experience, he's still pretty dang good. BUT it's what made Manning and Favre, and Rodgers, Brady, Brees all so much better than the rest. They do it year in and year out with few exceptions and defenses and coordinators have been trying to stop them for a long time. So many times a QB looks great. For a year and then all their tendencies and go to plays get figured out, and then they're just average. Maybe. or out of the league soon. I don't think Mahomes will be one of those guys that gets figured out and fades away, but it remains to be seen.
Promising absolutely.

Ah, the Nadal argument (from tennis). People say Rodger Federer is the GOAT because he has the most Grand Slams (20). But other people said Nadal was the GOAT because he had the better head to head record against him (although most of Nadal's wins are on clay, where he's practically unbeatable). Of course, Nadal has 17 Grand Slams himself, so he's only down 20-17 in the Slam Count. Right now Rodgers is down 6-1 in Super Bowl wins, and 9-1 in Super Bowl appearances.
Yeah, by now it's out of reach. Rodgers may be more athletic or more talented than Brady, but it doesn't really matter. Like Favre said, Brady may be limited in what he does, but what he does he does very, very well. Throw in how clutch he's in on top of all the rings and there's no discussion left to be had.
Brett Favre was the recipient of FIVE top 10 Defenses in a row and SEVEN top 10 Defenses overall. Aaron has had just TWO while the starting QB
Most people blame the Broncos, but the Cowboys of the early 90s were one of the most dominant dynasties ever. They won three Super Bowls in four years. If they hadn't been in our way, I think Favre would have another ring.
Considering Rodgers made those receivers for the most part, (not saying that they weren't good) is more of a testament to the load Rodgers had to carry since he was the one throwing to them. Favre on the other hand could rely on a running game and a defense in the event he had a bad game. When has Rodgers had someone of the likes of Ahman? And people are forgetting how underrated Bubba Franks was. Finley had better potential but could never live up to it, as case in point how The Packers won the SB without him.
