Brady also started off with a very good team. You kinda have to if you're going to have the best career of all time. If you have to spend four or five years dragging a shit team from dead last to respectability that just gives you five less years to actually win something, which is one of the reasons Manning was always playing catch-up to Brady. I think it's pretty clear by now that Brady was just better and would have eventually won out no matter what but in fairness to Peyton it should be said that Colts team he joined was ass
But Mahomes had the better situation because like >>150566471 said Brady had no real weapons and was forced to win by grinding it out and playing extremely smart ball control. Seriously, would you rather have Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill or Jermaine Wiggins and Troy Brown? No disrespect to those guys, they were good enough to win a title, but that's not even comparable. People pointing out Brady's meh numbers his first few years are ignoring how that team was constructed. The offense was a secondary consideration and Tom had to make chicken salad out of chickenshit to some extent. Which he did.
