The former kicker said there is an “argument” to be made.
“There’s definitely an argument for that. I creep to say that because I’ve been around some of the best players, best quarterbacks in NFL’s story and I love Tom and Peyton. I’ve never played with Patrick but I can only assume that if you are his teammate, you feel exactly the same with him as I feel about these guys, ”he told TMZ Sports.
“I’ve always said Tom has seven Super Bowls until someone does something he doesn’t have, he’s still the man. But we’re coming to something even empty, even the big Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and the team hasn’t done That is what we could ever agree on who is the best ever, but Patrick is right there, and all the whole team.

Vinatieri credited Andy Reid and the organization with how it handled a wealth of challenges in the past few seasons to keep the bosses during a Super Bowl.
This year alone, Kansas City was affected by injuries to the broad recipient position. Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown missed most of the year.
“Andy Reid, one of the biggest coaches. You can’t go seven years equal and three Super Bowls just without making a damn good game plan in and week out, dealing with injuries, dealing with free agency and then going on being in condition to do it.
He added that Chiefs, who goes to the Super Bowl and potentially became the first team to win three consecutive titles is “totally crazy.”
“When you have a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes who can pull magic out of a hat over and over again, it blasts me away,” he said. “At the beginning of the season they win games but hardly. And I’m like ‘Do they have what is taking again this year?’ Probably enough, it just goes on and they hit really good teams all the time as they do.

“Can’t say enough good things, and if they can ‘three-peat’, the first team that has ever done it, I will take off my hat and say, ‘My gosh!’ You want to talk about dynasties, I’ve been a part of teams they called dynasties, and if they can pull this off, you have 100% of my respect safe.
