This could ultimately get into the whole Manning vs Brady debate back in the 2000's up to the point Manning retired.
At the time, Manning had the records but Brady had the rings because he always had the better overall team.

I think ultimately, Burrow and Mahomes are in that top tier, but the Chiefs have had the better team longer and a top-tier offensive mind running the show. The big test was to see if they could keep their level of play after Mahomes signed his big contract, and they found a way.

It's going to be Mahomes, Burrow, and probably Josh Allen for a long time.

At the start of his run, Brady might have had better defenses but Manning had some stacked teams and couldn't get over the hump to win the Super Bowl until, what, 8(?) seasons in and then he wasn't even the biggest part of his second one.

You could say that they weren't all his fault, like when Vanderjagt missed that game-winner to send the Steelers to the Super Bowl when he had been the most accurate kicker in NFL history, but you could also say that those games shouldn't have been that close.
