re: Mahomes is the GOAT

So yeah Brady was largely a game manager carried by his defense save for less than 20% of career.

NE lead the league in scoring 4 times under brady 07, 10, 12, 14

they were second in scoring 13, 17
they were third in scoring 04, 11, 15, 16,
they were fourth in scoring 18
they were fifth in scoring 06

TB was second in scoring in 20, 21
so in 21 seasons game manager Tom Brady relying on his defense lead an offense that was in the top 5 in scoring 14 times
that is 67% of his career in the top five in scoring

game manager Tom Brady played with 800+ yard rusher 12 times in 21 seasons

he played with a 1000 yard rusher 5 times

now I realize they used RB by committe, a lot of short passing, and the TEs in place of a running game

however, brady was under 7.0 yd/att only 5 times in 21 seasons
he lead the league in y/a twice and was over 8.0 four times

Manning had a HOF WR and a HOF RB most of his time in Indy

brady’s best RB was Clock Killin’ Corey Dillon or LeGarrette Blount and his best WR was two full seasons of Randy Moss at 30 and 32. Moss was 31 in 2008 when brady was out

in 2007 moss with Brady had 98 catches for 1493 yds, 23 TDs and a robust 15.2 y/c
in 2008 moss with Cassel had 69 catches for 1008, 11 TDs and 14.6y/c
in 2009 moss with Brady had 83 catches for 1264, 13 TDs and 15.2y/c

obviously Gronk at TE was a difference maker when brady was in the last 1/2 of his career.

Dallas Clark compares somewhat to Gronk in productvity
Gronk had Career
G 143
Rec 621
Yds 9286
Y/R 15.0
TD 92

Clark had Career
G 143
Rec. 505
Yds 5665
Y/R 11.2
TD 53
