  • You're right.

  • Absolutely right.

  • 2 to 1 touchdown interception ratio, fewer yards because of the game was different, No question.

  • And he did what he had to dio.

  • But let's face it, those were essentially defensive teams coached by Bill Belichick, and Brady was game manager plus early on.

  • Be big on third down.

  • Get a great field goal kicker in position to kick a field goal to win the game as he matured and the game changed.

  • I'll speak for myself because Mac doesn't actually, Max should be banned from talking about Tom Brady.

  • He actually security should actually coming in to score IThe the only one who convinced Tom Brady Credit.

  • Right now, you all assumed this would happen.

  • Not after the nonsense you spew for the last four years.

  • You don't even deserve to have a part of this conversation.

  • But I'll tell you this, Jeff.

  • What we recognize about Tom Brady is that Tom Brady is the greatest winner off them all.

  • In the modern era, there is no question about that.

  • Six Super Bowl champions, non Super Bowl appearances we get all of that were not.

  • Nobody's resume compares to his what we're talking about greatness.

  • What we're talking about also is the talent that you see, understanding that your resume does not compare to Tom Brady that you haven't accomplished in terms of being able to scramble, having wheels, not just a arm, being able to scramble outside of the pocket to your left, the right, and do some of the things that we've seen both Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers does.

  • That's the only reason why the comparison to those to come about there is no comparison to Tom Brady in any other category.

  • We understand that.

  • But when it comes to just pure talent, remember how you used to look at Dan Marino flipping the football now?

  • He couldn't run.

  • He couldn't run.

  • He could not run a snail.

  • But my God, could that man throw the football?

  • We understood that about Dan Marino.

  • There was something special about what you were seeing from him, even though it was Montana and others that we're winning Super Bowl titles.

  • So we understand the difference here.

  • In the end, what you've done is you've made a stronger case, as you should, because you're the Super Bowl champion.

  • You're the former football player.

  • You're the aficionado when it comes to this.

  • You made my argument for me.

  • When it comes to Aaron Rodgers compared to Patrick Mahomes, you're saying Resume matters.

  • The game is modified.

  • It has changed.

  • Football was played.

  • A different brand of football was played back in the day compared to what it is now.

  • And look at what Aaron Rodgers did back a decade ago and look at what he's doing right now.

  • This brother is special, and what I'm saying is as a result of that, if you sit up there and you look at him going against my homes and he ends up going to the Super Bowl against the homes and beating Mahomes.

  • It would validate what I had been saying all along, regardless of the greatness that you saw from Patrick Mahomes.

  • It ain't written in Stone that this dude.

  • It's something that Aaron Rodgers never was nor ever could be.

  • It wasn't finished with Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers is that this year, my home is about to prove it.

  • Right now.

  • Mahomes win so far in his career like he's Tom Brady or Joe Montana.

  • He has an electric arm and gun slings like he's Brett Farve.

  • He has a decision making ability off Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers.

  • He can run.

  • What can't he do?

  • He doesn't.

  • He doesn't throw interceptions like, You know what?

  • You've been watching plenty of time.

  • Max Mahomes doesn't look great.

  • Plenty right, Max Max, Let's let's ask this Max.

  • We've seen we've seen we've seen the wind or how many points they're winning by shrink right?

  • Pretty significantly this year from last year, right?

  • So the league continues to catch up.

  • The reality is catching up with Andy Reid and Eric the enemy, right?

  • Like that.

  • Catch up matters when you're talking about Tom Brady Come in the league.

  • He played for a defensive minded coach, so they're not gonna air it all out.

  • When Aaron Rodgers was in Green Bay with Mike McCarthy, they had that Brett Farve mentality where they didn't want the quarterback to move.

  • They did want him to use, um, athleticism.

  • They did want him to do some different things.

  • So when you're trying to compare those guys, so you're telling me you don't think if Aaron Rodgers had been with Andy Reid, for however much time it's been, he wouldn't look identical to what, Patrick?

  • I think so.

  • I think Rodgers is the 12 years and change is good.

  • I think Rodgers is one guy he would have basically don't want homes it, by the way, third straight year through as a starter, third straight championship game.

  • Patrick Mahomes.

  • Yes, I think Rodgers is one dude who could basically do what Mahomes is doing.

  • That's what I've been telling you all alone show.

  • When I was, I'm saying that that's why I can't sit up there and look at Patrick Mahomes to say is no reason to even discuss anybody else.

  • I never said no to that, E, Ally said.

  • Was E said was, We don't know if Rodgers is still in his prime or if he's just getting used to the floor.

  • It turns out he's still great.

  • So, yeah, the best of Rogers is Thio mold.

  • If I had to choose, I'll take my homes to two years with LaFleur has shown you how, really, how good Aaron Rodgers is and listen much beyond.

  • Just there's the gunning and running like play checks, where he's putting the advancement of the game.

  • Aaron Rodgers on a different level now, like Don't sleep with.

  • I mean, you could look at the way they put their scheme together, and they literally put it in Aaron's hands of what he's done.

  • Listen, I e.

  • Obviously not stepping away from Stephen A.

  • He does make a very strong point about Aaron Rodgers in the fact of those similar styles, and the other part about that, you know, from from the whole top down, is how many years has Aaron Rodgers been able to do that?

  • My only issue with the Mahomes argument is it's fast, man and what you're talking about, the how its speed.

  • And we're like in this microwave society, we wanna make these and cast these decisions so quickly.

  • All we're saying is, don't push the old heads out yet.

  • Don't push him out yet.

  • They're still hanging on, and it's not like they're just they're they're game managing these guys, they're still bawling and taking their teams to the places they want to go.
