A quarterback, Tom Brady, has the whole story, but he’s still present; the other, Patrick Mahomes, is present and has the whole future ahead of him
It will be the fifth confrontation between these two, for the first time in the super Bowl. Think about that month and a half before that Patrick Mahomes you were born Tom Brady he had just turned 18 years old; the day that Brady was recruited by the New England Patriots in April 2000, Mahomes he was 4 and a half years old. The generational gap is mind-boggling. Brady it’s already a legend, Mahomes he has everything to take the baton. We’ll see if the transition happens on Feb. 7, because Brady shows no signs of going into decline. The panorama could not be better in the ‘ Super Bowl LV.
the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have recorded a before and an after with Brady in the controls. They went from being an erratic and anarchic team, to one with leadership, balance and enough timing to find their best version in the playoffs. It’s no small thing to go on to win in consecutive weeks of visiting ahead Washington football team, Saints of New Orleans i Green Bay Packers. I emphasize the balance of Tampa Bay, We could not understand the champion of the NFC without the work of the defensive. They generated 4:00 ball exchanges against the Saints and two against the Packers. These loose balls are of little use if you do not capitalize properly, and on Sunday they did in Camp Lambeau. The merit of Brady was in transforming these errors from Packers in touchdowns, just as he did in the Superdome.
Martín Grammar, Winner of the Super Bowl XXXVII with the Bucs, He told me a few days ago regarding Brady: “(What amazes me the most) is his humility, the way he has to integrate the team and make everyone feel important. He doesn’t feel bigger than the others, even though he’s a superstar.” Once again he has reapplied it and transformed the culture of a traditionally losing team.
Mahomes he is at the zenith of his career. It is a weapon of destruction as there is no other in the NFL. He is dynamic, mobile, with a powerful and precise arm, he also has a coach like Andy Reid which continues to give him elements to be a winner. Mahomes maximizes them, such that Buffalo Bills they had no arguments to stop the best closed wing in the league, Travis Kelce (He had nine receptions for 93 yards in the first half), already Tyreek Hill (Which ended with nine catches and 172 yards). They were six consecutive offensive series of the Heads of Kansas City which concluded in points at the end of the AFC.
For his 25 years he shows an extraordinary maturity. He did not go crazy after the most expensive contract in the history of the NFL which he signed in mid-2020. He retains this hunger for triumph. A privileged athlete who keeps his feet on the ground as a result of the good education he received from his father (player in the major leagues) and coach Reid currently.
Opportunities like this happen rarely, very rarely in sports. It’s like we see Michael Jordan against Lebron James, the legend against the prodigious young man. Brady it has the whole story, but it is still present; Mahomes it is present and has the whole future ahead of it. Fascinating story which will be written on February 7 a Tampa.
