Patrick Mahomes is now the GOAT

Patrick Mahomes is the greatest NFL player of all time, & the best QB of all time, it’s no longer a debate.

This is just one tweet, but I've read several saying the same thing. Does everyone just live in the now? And forget all that came before the now? And all that led up to the now? 

Isn't it good enough to say that Mahomes is now the best QB in the NFL, it's not particularly close, and that he's on a path to GOAThood and might even one day surpass Tom Brady? Isn't that good enough? 

Or must we declare him the GOAT despite having less than half the rings of Tom Brady?

A little premature to call him the goat.  He is probably the best in the game today but overall Brady is the Goat until somebody passes him in Super Bowl wins.

He's the best QB in the league and has been for awhile. I'm guessing that's enough for him. The blowhards can do what they will.

He's not a GOAT yet...

But he does have a chance to 3 peat - which would be pretty incredible.

Brady won #7 just 3 freaking years ago and people are already trying to crown the next GOAT. Some need to just appreciate what Mahomes has done so far and let the GOAT question play itself out.
