“Stop with the nonsense”: NFL legend draws backlash for making wild Patrick Mahomes comparison

The Kansas City Chiefs’s offense has turned into one of their major weapons for their winning streak and two Lombardi trophies, due to their inexperienced rookie to hero, Patrick Mahomes. Meanwhile, the Chiefs already placed themselves in the No. 1 seed in the AFC West, yet amid these, their offensive lineup has garnered a pile of backlashes for their poor play in spite of having Pat at the helm.

For this reason, while the NFL analyst Michael Irvin wanted to crown Mahomes with some inspiring words, the NFL community felt reluctant to accept it.

NFL legend makes wild Patrick Mahomes comparison

The Hall of Famer spoke highly of the NFL’s top signal-caller during the time he featured on FS1’s Undisputed. Irvin believes that Mahomes’ greatness is impenetrable because of his “phenomenal talent.”

Though the dual-threat quarterback is now having a rough time, failing to show promising plays, the former NFL player sees the two-time MVP as ” God playing quarterback,” and in this regard, he is adamant to pay no heed to the critics.

“Patrick Mahomes is basically God playing quarterback. I don’t care what you guys say, he doesn’t have quite the talent he needs at wide receiver, but he always makes just enough plays to keep them in the game. He’s a phenomenal talent.”

The Chief’s luck is somehow tied to Patrick Mahomes, as when he shines the team also shines and when he falls, the team also falls. Acccording to SI.com, in week 8, the 28-year-old appeared with one of his worst plays and the fans also witnessed one of the worst offensive performances of the Chiefs before losing their starter’s two impressive records over the Denver Broncos.

Though the KC team won in Week 9, Pat again failed to put forward a good performance before joining in a jersey swap event with Athletico Madrid’s star.

Patrick Mahomes comparison draws backlash

Irvin’s claim on Patrick Mahomes was not accepted by many NFL fans who were already pissed off, witnessing the player’s failure to showcase the level of prowess with which he enlisted his name besides Dan Marino.

“Stop it. Just stop with the nonsense,” one frustrated fan commented.

While Travis Kelce confidently asserted that his friend has superhuman skills to enroll his name beside Tom Brady, NFL fans only recognize Brady’s power. Even they prefer Josh Allen over the Chiefs hero in this instance.

“Brady was god himself. Mahomes is worse than Josh Allen. Can’t process post snap.”

If you match the stats so far this season, the Philadelphia Eagles starter Jalen Hurts showcased more prowess than the Chiefs starter with 2,347 yards and 15 touchdowns, while the two-time Super Bowl winner racked up 2,442 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Hence, a fan draws a comparison between the duo, presenting Hurts as the winner.

“Hurts>Mahomes,” he wrote in a comment.
