Yes but three guys who could've inched closer to GOAT status failed miserably tonight. Mahomes was terrible those 2 picks were atrocious, Kelce was nowhere to be seen and Reid couldn't adjust to the pressure.
No one should be basing Kelce’s claim on total Super Bowl wins. He isn’t the greatest TE no matter what. He’s basically a big receiver. He could never change the game like Gronkowski or even a guy like Kittle by adding another lineman on running downs, or be an absolute nightmare 1 on 1, without the help of misdirection and creative playcalling. Great player, all-time great, not a complete tight end. Both things can be true.
Mahomes still has a lot of years left. Winning 3 in a row should never have been an automatic claim to being the GOAT. Like, if Jannik Sinner wins every Grand Slam this year, he would do something that no one ever did. It would be amazing. Probably best flex ever. Doesn’t mean much for his career total Grand Slams. Still wouldn’t be near Djokovic or Federer. That was just silly media nonsense. Maybe you could argue best prime ever, best accomplishment ever, not best ever due to one thing.
Reid’s legacy was most affected of the three. He had a real shot to be considered in the top 3. He could still get most wins but most Super Bowls looks out of reach.
Because sports media has become all about the narrative, and that sports media doesn't not want the pocket passing white boy to be the G.O.A.T.. Plus, that media wants the competition to drive readership and ratings.
And then there are those who are just retarded, such as Nick Wright and Rob Parker.
Be fair and honest about it, and you'll actually feel better. Once you accept that the Chiefs run has been a product of other teams falling off, and not some greatness triumvirate, you'll feel better about the Lombardis they actually have won. Once you accept that Kelce has never been more than the second best TE of his time, that Reid is an excellent offensive HC, but not a top 5 all timer, and that Mahomes is a tremendous QB but not a top 5 all timer, and probably battling with the likes of Peyton Manning and company to be in the top 8-10, you'll be able to see that your team has actually overachieved.
Kelce is definitely the GOAT. Longevity matters you all have said this about Brady. Reid is also definitely top 5 as for Mahomes well tonight was the worst case scenario. He's not even past Montana yet.
He's not even the best of his era, so there's no way he's the best of all time. Don't do this to yourself. It's embarrassing to watch. Gronk was so unstoppable that opponents literally had to plan for cheap shots to try slowing him down, and was a punishing blocker on top of his ability to dominate in the passing game. Kelce was a really nice oversized WR.
