NFL legend LeSean McCoy has gained a new bunch of haters. Coincidentally, they are none other than the fans of the team with whom he won his first Super Bowl. The Kansas City Chiefs fans and fan pages ripped through ex-NFL, running back for his ‘dumb’ comments on Patrick Mahomes.

Describing Mahones as just a ‘nice’ player, Sean McCoy placed Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen much higher on his football show. The reactions to this statement were bewildering. The Chiefs’ fans overtook Twitter to counterattack his claim with hard facts and proof.
Two-time Super Bowl Champion strongly opinionated about Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen
After retirement, Sean McCoy is often seen in various shows about debates regarding American football. Currently, he headlines a Fox Sports Network show named ‘Speak’. He, alongside Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, and David Helman, co-hosts the show on weekdays.

“You gotta give Josh his credit,” the former Chiefs and Buffalo Bills running back voiced. “If Josh Allen played for the Chiefs with Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Andy Reid, do you think they win a championship?”
While Joy Taylor and David Helman refuted his claim, Acho reiterated with him asking, “If you want to go back to that AFC championship game, who played better?”
Twitter community reacts stronger than expected
One of the most popular fan pages, KC Sports Network, retaliated with equal angst calling ‘Speak’ the dumbest daytime NFL show.
Most daytime talking-head sports arguments are dumb.
This might be the dumbest.

One fan answers logically on the question of who was actually the better player in the previous season’s playoff.
“Josh Allen played better” In what sense? He played against a worse defense anyway. Mahomes played against the best defense in the league and still put up better numbers and won.

Amid all the chaos, one fan wants the broadcasters to remember the excellence of one-time MVP Patrick Mahomes.
The Bills could have drafted Mahomes and they passed… the Bills haven’t been to a Super Bowl since then. If you switch QBs, Bills would have been to a Super Bowl by now, easily. Would the Chiefs have still been to one? You’d hope, but maybe not.
