All the compliments heaped on Patrick Mahomes sometimes feel exaggerated. Then you watch the man in action, and you see it. Whether it’s his poise, passing, or underrated rushing game, Mahomes will win you over one way or another. With spectacular vision and unbelievable precision, the Chiefs’ quarterback seems to weave artistry into his game.

When, against one of the game’s GOATs, he brewed magic on the field, a commentator couldn’t help but compare him to the namesake.

Mahomes earns comparisons to Showtime’s showrunner

The 2022 season was a true test of Patrick Mahomes’ abilities. The loss of Tyreek Hill served as a blow to his squad. And of course, it was up to Mahomes to disprove his critics. The Chiefs started strong and won their first two. Week 3 saw a major disappointment as the Colts delivered a shocking loss to Kansas. The next week came the real challenge.

As the brilliant documentary on Netflix explores, the Chiefs were going up against the Tampa Bay Buccanneers. Tom Brady vs. heir-apparent, Patrick Mahomes. While the first meeting saw a handy Tampa victory, could this meeting go differently?

As Mahomes himself says, “When you play…Tom Brady, you have to make sure you really keep the pressure on”. And, like always, he found a way. Making a long rush to the right corner, Mahomes made a deft hop pass to his receiver, scoring the touchdown. While Kansas went on to win the game 41-31, the commentators remained stunned by the QB’s play.

When one alluded to Mahomes making magic on the field, the other chimed in. “You mentioned magic, it looks like Magic Johnson out there.”  A comparison to arguably the greatest passer of all time, and it feels earned?  That’s Patrick Mahomes for you.

He shares the size, the vision and the pure ease with which the Los Angeles Lakers legend generated world-class plays. Even his teammates were in disbelief, screaming, “How did he do that?” Magic was the engine of the ‘Showtime Lakers’. Not only did he make the game more beautiful to watch, he significantly contributed to winning.

That’s what was expected of the star Quarterback in 2022. And, like the great ones, Patrick Mahomes delivered.

Patrick Mahomes quells all doubt

In the first 2 years of his career, Mahomes earned all imaginable plaudits. In year 1, MVP, while breaking a series of records. Year 2 culminated in a Super Bowl, where the Chiefs faced 10+ point deficits in all three playoff games. A display of true mental strength.

But, for a great comeback, there must also be a great fall. In year 3, the Chiefs lost the Super Bowl to the GOAT Tom Brady, and Mahomes turned in a subpar performance. The next season, he turned in his worst year to date, and questions arose about his playstyle. The departure of Tyreek Hill raised further doubts.

However, turning in a spectacular season, Mahomes went on to win his second MVP, along with a Super Bowl. Not only did he become the first quarterback in the last 25 years to achieve both in the same year, but he also made Charles Barkley lose a ton of money.

In one spectacular season, Mahomes silenced all critics and firmly cemented his place among the all-time greats. Like a certain Lakers legend, Patrick Mahomes found a way.
