One of the most important virtues that made Tom Brady the greatest quarterback in NFL history is his ability to not only pass the ball with extreme accuracy. Perhaps his greatest skill is to choose the most ideal player to pass the ball in a matter of mili seconds.

There are always moments in which your original play doesn’t pan out because the defense does a great job at reading it.

Not many quarterbacks have the skill to identify this danger and change his decision right as the play is happening.

Tom Brady was probably the best ever at making these decisions and Patrick Mahomes knows it, he seems like he studies Brady’s old films on a regular basis.

A recent tactical video analysis from Jackson Krueger Sports breaks down how Mahomes has been trying to emulate what Tom Brady used to do in these moments of extreme tension.

The Youtuber who made this video talks about the piece of Brady’s playbook Mahomes has been taking for years.

He says: “Mahomes is kind of known for the big arm and the scrambles, that kind of stuff but very much what you would see 90 to around 95% of the time honestly was just him taking what the defence gave him. It is very much the kind of the Tom Brady school of thought of let’s just you know, put the ball in the right player’s hands as often as he can and then obviously Mahomes can still do the you know crazy stuff when he needs to.”

Will Patrick mahomes win more Super Bowls than Tom Brady?

Although he has already won three out of four Super Bowls, Patrick Mahomes still has to win another four in order to match Tom Brady’s seven rings.

Although he is still young and the possibility of that happening is viable, making it happen won’t be as easy as one would expect.

Over the next decade, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will have to not only reach another four Super Bowls but win all of them.

If there is a quarterback who has what it takes to make that happen, that is definitely Patrick Mahomes.
