The question of who is the best between Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady has often confused the NFL world. It is undeniable that both QBs have set legacies in the NFL and have taken the league to a different level. It started with Brady when the QB won seven Super Bowl titles in his career. Mahomes entered the picture when Brady was on the verge of his last days in professional football.

Recently, former NFL star Dan Marino was asked about the same question. He was asked who is the better quarterback, Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady. He seemed confused and failed to provide the answer to the question.

The former Miami Dolphins quarterback and legend stated in an interview with Sports Illustrated:

To me, [Joe] Montana and [John] Elway, Jim Kelly—those guys, all those guys. Patrick Mahomes, he's going to be considered one of the best ever,' Marino continued. 'You got Tom Brady, you got a lot of guys. So there's a lot to pick from there.
Dan Marino said

Mahomes has won three Super Bowls to date. He has almost an invincible record in the playoffs for the Kansas City Chiefs. After Mahomes stepped into the team, the Chiefs lost only twice in the postseason run. Interestingly Tom Brady beat the Chiefs in one of the encounters.

Chris Russo snubbed Tom Brady for Patrick Mahomes

After the recent success with the Kansas City Chiefs, the debate between the two got intensified. Some analysts stood for Mahomes. They claimed that they had never seen anyone more skillful than Patrick Mahomes. Veteran analyst Chris Russo was one of them who claimed that Mahomes was the greatest and snubbed Brady.

Chris Russo said on ‘Mad Dog Sports Radio‘:

I am gonna say this repetitively, he is the best quarterback I have ever seen. I do not know what else to say. He is the best, Mahomes. He is the best quarterback I have ever seen. There is nobody better than his skills. He is unbelievable. In all the big games he played I can recall, he had one bare hand.

Russo had this significant take after the QB beat Tom Brady with the number of playoff victories before turning 30. Mahomes, now has 15 playoff victories while Tom Brady had 11 on his name before he turned 30.
