And made the playoffs once in 8 seasons without Brady. I think Belichick is a great defensive coach, so I'd like to see him get a really good QB for next season just to see how he can do with something better than Newton or Stidham, but I don't think he's going back to the Super Bowl for a long time, if ever.
Brady's the GOAT and will be for a while, but man, Mahomes has the potential to be better. He's just as smart and as clutch as Brady, but he's got a better arm. Three AFC championship games and 2 Super Bowls in his first 3 years as a starter. That's impressive. It will be interesting to see how the Chiefs manage the salary cap once Mahomes big contract kicks in and if they can maintain a great team around him.
