Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback ever to step foot in the NFL. But in recent generations, Patrick Mahomes has rightfully been the closest to equaling Brady’s legacy. This has led to an ongoing debate with all fans who claim to love football, trying to decide if it’s the former Pats’ star or the Chiefs’ QB who reigns over the title of the best quarterback.

Before Brady announced his decision to retire from the NFL in February 2023, Mahomes faced off against him a total of 6 times. This rivalry pitted the legendary Brady against the best of the new and upcoming generation, Mahomes. With this battle of experience, the fans have been on the edge of their seats for over 6 years. The community has been divided for a long time in trying to pick the best quarterback out of the two and this time, it’s Skip Bayless who has chosen his side.

Skip Bayless states clear facts and makes his pick in the Brady versus Mahomes debate

On the latest episode of the ‘Undisputed’ show, Skip Bayless presented his opinion in the famous debate of Brady versus Mahomes as the greatest quarterback. This question has stoked the fans for a long time now and maybe with Bayless’ argument, the debate can finally be put to rest.

Bayless fiercely said, “This whole conversation for me just gets silly. And yeah, maybe I should disqualify myself. I’m a Brady fan, I always have been. I do not know him personally, so it’s not a personal connection whatsoever. I’m just looking at the facts and the body of work.”

He further added, “And to me it’s like, the Brady hate is alive and well or that Brady jealousy and Brady resentment. It’s the whole internet age of who’s got next, forget about the past, it’s only about the present. But if we start looking hard at bodies of work, I say that, in 10 Super Bowls that Tom Brady played, not one time did he play remotely or as poorly as Patrick played ironically against Brady in Patrick’s second Super Bowl. He just stunk in that game. You can’t show me one of Tom’s 10 Super Bowls in which he stunk like that, played nearly that poorly.”

With Bayless’ opinion sticking with a lot of fans, here’s a look at what the numbers say about all the times that the two quarterbacks have faced off against each other.

Who is the better quarterback at the end of the day: Brady or Mahomes?

The Brady and Mahomes debate is like trying to find the origin of a river. It is endless and both sides have interesting points to make. The two faced off against each other six times and interestingly enough, they share a 3-3 head-to-head record.

It feels almost illegal to compare Brady’s 20 years of experience to Mahomes’ 4 seasons with the Chiefs. At this moment in time, no player’s even close to achieving Brady’s greatness. With that being said, if there is anyone who could very well be a Brady-like QB, it will be none other than Mahomes, given the right amount of time. But as of now, the number 12 jersey will continue to soar in the highest of skies while players like Mahomes try to lift their feet off the ground.
