I did this for a couple reasons.

First, that’s really the only comparison that can be properly done at this point.

Second, it gives me a chance to chirp Dave for the first time.

Namely: “Who the hell is Jeffro?”

But let’s get to this.

There’s something very Matrix-like about Brady and Mahomes.

History seems to be repeating itself with Mahomes being the next recursion of Brady.

And there’s even a Neo figure who tapped into the programming to attempt to break the cycle.

Both Brady and Mahomes lurked around their rookie year before bursting onto the scene in year two.

Brady won it all, Mahomes fell short.

That’s where the Neo figure comes into play.

No one with a brain can say otherwise.

There’s simply no other explanation for Dee Ford doing something so “stupid” in such a moment.

Yes - I’m saying Dee Ford is Neo.

It goes deeper than that though.

Only then was Manning finally able to beat Brady in the AFC Championship Game.

Well, guess who the next recursion of Peyton Manning is?

It’s Joe Burrow.

Dominated Mahomes in regular season but only beat him in one AFC Championship Game.

you might count on the Matrix never letting that happen again.

Unless another Neo comes along.

Josh Allen is basically the alternative version of Neo where he does literally everything possible yet still dies.

History suggests that the Matrix may really have reloaded with a better version of the recursion.

Brady only threw passes of 25 yards or more 144 times from his second season to sixth.

Mahomes has thrown 243.

It’s just not fair.

There’s a lot of talent breathing down his neck in the AFC too.

There really hasn’t been a crop of coming to age quarterbacks blossom since…well…

I’d say the early to mid 2000s.

What else can you really say?

There’s nothing stopping the Matrix.

That goes for you too, Dave!
