Sports radio host says Kansas City Chiefs superstar is the GOAT
FIRST Take host Chris Russo has shocked fans with a claim about Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Chris is known for his hot takes on the sports show but “Mad Dog” has sent NFL fans reeling by saying that Mahomes is a better quarterback than Tom Brady, whom he branded a “game manager.”
The Chiefs superstar has won two Super Bowls, taken home two Super Bowl MVPs, and two regular-season MVPs awards.
Mahomes has also led the Chiefs to an incredible six consecutive AFC Championship Game appearances.
But he significantly trails New England Patriots legend Brady, who has an incredible seven Super Bowls.
Nonetheless, Russo believes that Mahomes has already made his case to be considered the greatest NFL quarterback of all time.
“I’ve been watching quarterbacks since [Joe] Namath and [Johnny] Unitas back in the mid-60s. And [Bart] Starr, I saw him,” Russo said on his SiriusXM radio show.
“I’m gonna say this really definitively, he’s the best quarterback I’ve ever seen.
“I don’t know what else to tell you, he’s the best. Mahomes … he’s the best quarterback I’ve ever seen.
“There’s nobody better than this kid. He’s unbelievable.”
Russo then caused a stir by claiming that Brady is a “game manager.”
Brady ended his career as the NFL’s all-time leader in passing yards (89,214), and touchdown passes (649).
“I know Brady won the six and won the seventh with Tampa, but Brady does have a little bit of a game manager component to him,” Russo added.
“And I know Brady’s the wonderful winner…you wanna say he’s the GOAT of all time because he’s got seven, one without [Bill] Belichick, I can’t argue with you too much if that’s what your point is.
“But for my money, 64 years of age, sports shows for 40 years … [Mahomes] is the best quarterback I’ve ever seen.”
Brady, for his part, recently gave Mahomes his flowers after the Chiefs’ divisional-round victory over the Buffalo Bills.
Mahomes posted an impressive 73.9% completion percentage along with 215 passing yards and two touchdowns in the 24-21 playoff win.
“He’s an incredible competitor and I think it’s on display in the biggest moments,” Brady said on the Let’s Go! podcast.
