I honestly didn't care for him much before this game, but those late game heroics were epic if not down right legendary, so much so that I changed my vote. With the win Mahomes matched Brady's postseason success (to the same age) and this is where Brady's 10-year championship drough kicks in! I doubt he'll have the late career success Brady had, but if he just keeps doing what he's been doing for the next 10-12 years i.e. the prime years for QB's, he won't need to;
If Kansas City secures a three-peat, something no team has ever done that will truely kick start discussions about Mahomes' potential to become the greatest of all time—a conversation that is almost certainly never going to be had with Ohtani or McDavid.
McDavid will ofc never surpass Gretzky's records, either single season or career nor will he match his post season success - Gretzky had already won 3 cups and reached 4 finals by the age of 27 while McDavid has yet to even reach the finals. As for Ohtani, maybe he could have a standout season akin to Ruth's best, but he's not likely to sustain that level of play long enough to ever come close to supplanting Ruth's status as the goat. Star baseball players unfortunately trend to age more quickly(non-enhanced ones at least) than other sport stars, seeing massive declines in their performance once they hit their 30's:
On top of that he won't even pitch at all next year
The Angels two-way star will be out for the remainder of the season.

So it's kind of hard to vote for him as being the most dominant over a player who just came up huge yet again in the singluar most important game in team sports.
He mind controlled them to miss extra point? Keep in mind he actually messed up in the superbowl.
Sure, he made
one mistake, but he more than made up for it. Also if the 49'ers make that extra point it's still extremely unlikely that everything that happened after the fact would be exactly the same so it hardly some how guarantees that the 49'ers would have won. Fact is, the extra point got blocked. Fact also is the Chiefs only won thanks to Mahomes coming through huge in OT, especially on that 4th down play after their running back got stuffed on 3rd. If Mahomes doesn't come through in that one single play, easily most pressure packed moment of his career, the 49'er win the superbowl right there and then. But he did and he somehow made it look effortless too.
