He said, “Patrick Mahomes is more valuable because the Chiefs’ success is contingent upon Patrick Mahomes’ success. Tom Brady has had three consecutive games in the playoffs with a completion percentage below 56%. That is terrible.”

Acho further explained that Brady’s completion percentage was not just poor in isolation. His numbers were poor, even in comparison to past quarterbacks in the playoffs. He believes that the performances of the team helped Tom Brady get by. But the narrative surrounding Brady is too strong for people to believe that.
“And if you want to know how bad it is, look at the context of the other quarterbacks in the past three seasons. Tom Brady, Trent Dilfer, Joe Flacco – Three quarterbacks over the last 30 years with consecutive games with completion percentages under 56%. If Tom Brady’s name was Baker Mayfield, we’d be saying Tom Brady is being carried to this Super Bowl.”

Acho illustrated the difference in their value to their own teams with some interesting statistics. He pointed out that the Chiefs’ defense was the best in the NFL, but their defense was far from it. Whereas, the Buccaneers’ offense and defense rank, even compared to the rest of the league.
“Chiefs offense is number 1 in the NFL, their defense is number 16 in the NFL. Buccs offense is number 7 in the NFL, their defense is number 6 in the NFL. Besides the fact that the Chiefs team is predicated upon their offensive success, the nearest team is predicated on their collective success. Chiefs go as the offense goes, the offense goes as Mahomes goes.
