Is Tom Brady getting benched on the GOAT throne? Hold onto your helmets, folks, because Chiefs superstar QB Patrick Mahomes is heating up the NFL’s greatest-of-all-time debate, and former defensive lineman Chris Canty ain’t mincing words either. Here’s the whole story:

Chris Canty voiced out his fiery opinion on the Unsportsmanlike radio show after the interviewer brought up Mahomes’ shot at a three-peat. Canty fired off right away, “You three-peat in the NFL? Yeah, you the GOAT,” making it clear that if Mahomes led Kansas City to three straight Super Bowl wins, he’d claim the “damn GOAT” title. 

This isn’t just everyday Twitter chatter. Canty’s bold comments got everyone buzzing at the age-old question: can Mahomes, at a cool 28-year-old, truly challenge Brady’s GOAT status?

Brady, with his seven Super Bowl rings and five Super Bowl MVP awards, has been the undisputed GOAT. But Mahomes, with his on-field dominance and swag, is making a seriously strong case for himself. 

Let’s break it down. Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs’ young gunslinger, has already snagged three Lombardi trophies, the last two consecutively. Having earned his first ring in his Super Bowl LIV debut, he led a thrilling comeback against the Niners. Mahomes was cool under pressure, tossing two TDs in the fourth quarter to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, earning his first-ever Super Bowl MVP.

The next two seasons were kinda tough for Mahomes and the Chiefs. They still made it to the playoffs but fell short of the ultimate goal. Tom Brady, the undisputed GOAT (for now), had other plans, though. He denied P-Mahomes’ back-to-back dreams, shutting Kansas City down in Super Bowl LV. Then, the following year, the Joe Burrow-led Bengals knocked the Chiefs out in the AFC Championship game.

But Mahomes is relentless. He made his way back to the Super Bowl LVII, facing off against a tough Eagles’ defense. Down by 10 at halftime, Mahomes directed yet another comeback with some trick plays and two touchdown passes, securing his second championship and Super Bowl MVP.

Fast forward to this past February, and the Kansas City QB grabbed yet another Super Bowl win. While the numbers weren’t insane (333 yards and 2 TDs), that championship ring did cement his place in the GOAT conversation.

So, can Mahomes dethrone Brady? It’s anyone’s guess. Brady’s seven rings and five Super Bowl MVPs are a mountain to climb. But Mahomes is young, has a killer resume already, and has the potential to rewrite the NFL record books. 

A three-peat, as Canty suggests, would be a monumental feat and could seriously challenge Brady’s GOAT title. 

Can Patrick Mahomes knock off Tom Brady’s GOAT status?

Former Patriots’ legendary QB Tom Brady’s legacy is undisputed, but Mahomes is making a full-speed run at the GOAT title. Drafted way back in 2000 as the 199th pick, Brady defied odds to become arguably the best QB ever. He’s got a crazy 7-3 record, racking up wins in seven Super Bowls. That’s more Lombardi trophies than any player in NFL history.

Brady wasn’t just about the wins, though. He shattered records, snagging five Super Bowl MVPs and three regular-season MVP awards (2007, 2010, 2017). Across his SB appearances, he threw for 3,039 yards and 21 TDs. Oh, and Brady also holds the record (a stunning 35) for the most career playoff wins.

While Tom Brady finally retired after the 2022–23 season with the most Super Bowl wins, it makes us all wonder if the Chiefs’ QB can ever top his status. If Mahomes does pull off the three-peat everyone’s talking about, Brady’s legendary crown can be in danger. 

Hang tight, football fans—this GOAT debate is only getting hotter!
