Bill Belichick Writes About Patrick Mahomes Tom Brady GOAT Debate

Bill Belichick's book tour - thanks to his 24-year-old "publicist" - has gotten off to a controversial start. But the actual book written by the NFL coaching legend? Not so much.

With Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback having won three Super Bowls by age 28, he began tiptoeing into the GOAT conversation long dominated by Tom Brady. The New England Patriots' icon  wound up winning seven, six of those with Belichick in Foxboro.

In his book - The Art of Winning - the coach finally weighed in with an opinion on the great quarterback debate. And much like Belichick himself, boy is it boring.

“You know what? Brady and Patrick Mahomes are both really good. Controversial, I know,” he wrote.

Belichick wrote that Mahomes “probably isn’t going anywhere” given his success so far. He said that the Chiefs' quarterback reminded him of Brady, specifically noting one interview he gave after the Chiefs won a game.

“I feel like I haven’t played very well, and that’s not a stats thing,” Belichick recalled Mahomes saying. “I just feel like I’m missing opportunities whenever they’re out there and not throwing the ball in the exact spot I want it to be at.

“By putting himself on the spot, by publicly doubting the basis for the W that he just secured, Mahomes sent a powerful message to, and about, his entire team: ‘This may look okay right now, but it’s not going to be good enough in the end. And that says to me that the Chiefs aren’t going anywhere as long as number 15 is on the field.”

Belichick also admits that he could see Chiefs’ coach Andy Reid, one day writing his own book claiming that he “had the greatest QB of all time.”
