If dominance is the determining factor, someone like Aaron Donald is going to have a real good claim as the best ever. He dominates at an extreme level, and does so even facing non-stop double and the occasional triple team.

In general football is the hardest one to decide. Just look at Sunday, if you just flipped the offensive lines the Chiefs probably win by 22+ instead of the Bucs. Brady is clutch and makes the plays when it matters. But sometimes he's #### and has a great team to bail him out. Even in the NFC title game he nearly threw the game away, but the Bucs D clutched up when it mattered.
I was looking at the overall stats for Sunday and they weren't as lopsided as the score shows. Mahomes threw for more yards than Brady, and KC actually gained more yards than TB all around. It wasn't an amazing performance by Brady and I don't really agree that he was MVP.
