Interestingly enough, even Peyton Manning had mentioned that Mahomes already deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Just days after this statement, Clark put Mahomes over players like Manning. However, it seems like Mahomes has some years left before reaching the level of Joe Montana and Tom Brady.

Does Mahomes have a long way to reach Montana and Brady?

With Brady, it was always longevity and consistency. He has been a player who consistently performs at a high level. Furthermore, Brady is also known for being one of the most clutch players in the history of the NFL. Furthermore, Joe Montana is famous for his perfection. The Comeback Kid holds the record for most passes in the Super Bowl without an interception with a whopping 122 passes.

Mahomes has some catching up to do if he wants to reach Brady and Montana’s levels. However, with the way he has been performing, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a serious part of the GOAT discussion.
