Bill Belichick’s Andy Reid prediction as Tom Brady | NFL News

NFL teaching legend Bill Belichick has diplomatically sidestepped the contentious debate over whether or not Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback of all time. Despite his long and profitable partnership with Brady, which yielded six Super Bowl victories during his illustrious tenure with the New England Patriots, Belichick has surprisingly declined to anoint his former star participant as the best QB in historical past.

In his new e book, The Art of Winning, Belichick as a substitute tactfully describes both Brady and Mahomes as “really good”. However, he predicts that Andy Reid, the top coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, will ultimately weigh in on the talk and proclaim Mahomes as the best quarterback of all time.

“I’ve never engaged in this argument with my good friend Andy Reid, the Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach,” Belichick stated. “But I have little doubt he will write his own book one day and claim that he had the greatest QB [Mahomes] of all time.”

With seven Super Bowl wins under his belt, Brady is broadly regarded as one of the all-time greats, having known as time on his illustrious profession after the 2022 season.

Meanwhile, Mahomes, 29, has quickly established himself as one of the best gamers in the sport, with two Super Bowl victories in the final three years, and is steadily hailed as the best quarterback at present taking part in in the NFL.

Belichick seems absolutely cognisant of the potential controversy his reluctance to outright endorse Brady might stir. “You know what? Brady and Patrick Mahomes are both really good. Controversial, I know,” he says in the e book.

The 73-year-old coach highlights Mahomes’ capacity to face the media post-match, demonstrating sturdy management qualities, as one purpose he refuses to distinguish between the 2 quarterbacks.

“This kind of comment is music to my ears. Can’t get enough of it,” Belichick stated. “It is fundamentally an example of elite leadership. Very similar to when we would win a game with Tom 28-10 and afterward he’d say, ‘We should have scored forty-five!'”.

However, he did offer some phrases of reward for his former star quarterback, including: “Tom was hard to coach because he was so well prepared. I loved coaching Brady – he brought out the best in me. He was smart, mentally and physically tough, and the most dependable player I have coached.”

Meanwhile, Reid, probably laying the groundwork for naming Mahomes as the G.O.A.T in the close to future, lauded his three-time Super Bowl MVP forward of the Chiefs’ crushing defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in February’s Super Bowl LIX.

“He’s a great person, a great leader,” he advised Sky Sports. “He has the offense down pat – no pun intended – and he is all around, if not the best, one of best I’ve ever been around.”

Where do the quarterbacks themselves stand in the hotly contested GOAT dialog? While Brady hasn’t overtly declared Mahomes as the all-time best, he has acknowledged that the 29-year-old QB reigns supreme in immediately’s world of NFL stars.

Mahomes, on his half, feels there’s a distance to cowl before he can outshine Brady. “To me, it’s always going to be tough [to be seen as the best] because Brady beat me in the Super Bowl,” Mahomes admitted to NFL Network, reflecting on the loss they confronted against Brady’s Buccaneers, which ended 31-9 in Super Bowl LV.

“That’s one thing he’ll always have over my head.”
