If he gets even 4 titles, puts up the stats he currently does for most of his career, and never ceases to entertain or come up clutch, people won’t care about the title difference.
They know Mahomes will have had to go up against murderers row of QBs in his own conference every season, while Brady had… uhh… Rodgers? Manning? Flacco… lol

Big Ben will be a HOFer. And Brady's dominance of the conference prevented several people from getting more recognition. Take Rich Gannon. He was MVP of the league one year and in the top 5 another year but Brady's team beat him the playoffs.
4 of the 6 all time leaders in passing yards are either Brady or players Brady played against in the AFC post season . Rivers, Big Ben and Peyton Manning. The NFC just has one (Brees) so it can easily be argued that Brady played in the tougher conference for quarterbacks during his career.
Brady has never gone up directly against a QB. NFL football isn't tennis or golf and it isn't even the NBA/MLB where the same players at least usually play on offense and defense.
Brady for sure sometimes lost but he also beat some historically great defenses along the way including "The Legion of Boom" and some other legitimate top defenses.
The league has changed even more since Brady entered. Besides the rule changes, the top skill position athletes who can't play QB are now playing wide receiver much more and running back much less. This favors QB's. In the past someone like Chase on Cincy may play another position like perhaps running back but now he would have to be dumb as a rock to settle for that position if he can play receiver/cornerback.
