BREAKING NEWS: Fans Present Powerful Evidence – Patrick Mahomes vs Tom Brady: Who’s the “TRUE BOSS” of the NFL?
The NFL goes through phases in terms of how the game of football is played. New offensive and defensive schemes are constantly being tweaked by teams in order to try to dominate the sport. What worked 25 years ago certainly doesn’t work the same way now. That’s become more than clear in recent years, as the game has shifted from running game-heavy to a pass-first bonanza.
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have benefited greatly from that shift. Before them, it was Tom Brady and the New England Patriots taking advantage of it. Naturally, Mahomes and Brady have been a topic of comparison due to being the best quarterbacks in their respective eras. But there’s a big difference when it comes to both, and fans have come out to make it known that we truly are living in a different time in football history.

Tom Brady had to endure brutal hits early in his NFL career
The game of football has undergone a shocking amount of changes over the past two decades, with player safety being at the forefront of so many rule changes. Bone-crushing hits have been replaced by, well, nothing. That change in the way the game is played makes a comparison between Brady and Mahomes so difficult.

That’s been amplified by a video making the rounds on social media. In it, Brady gets demolished, while Mahomes gets escorted out of bounds with a small push.
That dichotomy shows how pointless comparing the two really is. We’ve seen Brady play in Mahomes’ era of football, but we haven’t seen the opposite. There’s no telling how Mahomes would have fared in a league where painful hits were a common occurrence.
