Social media detectives have put together compelling video evidence that destroys the whole “Tom Brady owns Patrick Mahomes” notion.
The 47-year-old Tom Brady walked away from football as the consensus greatest quarterback of all time. Obviously, it’s hard to argue against seven Super Bowl rings, five SB MVPs and all of his passing records.
But if there’s one active NFL player who can realistically challenge Brady for the “GOAT” title, it’s Mahomes. The former won his first three Super Bowls before his 28th birthday. Mahomes won his third Super Bowl shortly after his 28th birthday.
And if stats are your argument? Last year, Mahomes became the fastest quarterback to reach 25,000 career passing yards and 200 passing touchdowns. So depending on how long he plays, Mahomes could very well break Brady’s passing records.
Many folks on Tom Brady’s side like to argue that he had Mahomes’ number. The two split their six head-to-head meetings, but the Pro-Brady team points out that he was 2-0 against Mahomes in the playoffs: The 2018 AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl 55.
Does that mean Tom Brady “owned” Mahomes during their short but sweet on-field rivalry? Well, let’s just say the @NotWahomes X/Twitter account put together a pair of compelling reels to fight back against the idea of TB12 owning Mahomes.
Here are some more strong objections to the idea of Tom Brady “dominating” Patrick Mahomes whenever they faced:
At any rate, we’ll have to see how Patrick Mahomes fares over the next seven or so years before deciding if he’s the consensus “GOAT” over Brady.
Just Appreciate What Tom Brady Did, And What Patrick Mahomes Is Doing
It’s easy to get caught up in the Brady vs. Mahomes debate, but it’s no different than Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James. Fans should just enjoy and appreciate what retired icons like Brady and Jordan did in their respective sports, and what Mahomes and James are doing now.

At this point, there is no doubt in any NFL fan’s mind that Patrick Mahomes is the face of the league. He is the best quarterback in the NFL and leads the best team in the league, which is off to a perfect start in 2024.
However, the Chiefs’ star signal-caller isn’t the only person who gets fans talking about the Chiefs. Travis Kelce does a pretty good job of that in his own right. Dating Taylor Swift and being one of the best tight ends in the NFL makes it quite easy.
It does seem as though Mahomes is quite fond of his number one pass catcher’s famous girlfriend. He recently told a story on the radio about Swift and his daughter and gave props to the pop icon.
“She’s never like baked anything specifically for me, but she’s made different treats that have been around my house, like muffins and donuts and stuff like that,” Mahomes said during an interview on 96.5 The Fan.
Patrick Mahomes Claims Daughter Sterling Loves Taylor Swift
Mahomes added a tidbit about his daughter Sterling, saying, “Sterling’s a big baker as well, so they make some stuff together sometimes. I’m not gonna say I don’t eat them. So, it is good as everybody’s talked about and she’s great as far as it comes to baking.”
This is just adding to the fact that there’s no secret that Mahomes is a big fan of Swift’s presence around the Chiefs, as he explained in an interview before the 2024 season, “I think the biggest thing that I noticed during the season was just that the kids that were becoming more and more fans, and you would see it through social media, you’d see it through games that we traveled to.”
Mahomes may be a big fan of the Grammy Award winner; however, she won’t attend the Chiefs’ Super Bowl rematch in week seven as she is slated to kick off her Era’s Tour once again with a performance in Miami.
