Some consider Patrick Mahomes to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now. His fan base certainly has a reason to think so. Mahomes has proven himself twice as a young QB. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar has been able to win 2 Super Bowls. Furthermore, he also went on to win the Finals MVP, making him the best player during the game. However, even after such progress, the quarterback is still criticized.

A few days ago, Cam Newton took to Twitter to talk about who he’d be willing to be a backup for. He seemingly left out Mahomes’ name. With this action, he snubbed Mahomes and his sliding abilities. Further, recently an old player from the Cincinnati Bengals has gone on to compare Joe Burrow and Mahomes.

The judgment placed on Patrick Mahomes

It seems like it is judgment time for Mahomes. An ex-Pro-Bowler quarterback from the Bengals went ok to state his current quarterback preference. Carson Palmer went on to state his opinion. In his eyes, Joe Burrow is better than Patrick Mahomes.

As his words went viral, they caused a huge ruckus on Twitter. He spoke about the difference between the two quarterbacks. He said, “I think Joe is the best quarterback in the league. I know Patrick is phenomenal but I think Joe is more consistent. He’s more consistent. He’s more accountable to run the system and the play that’s called.”

Finally, even Chiefs haters disagreed with the take.

All in all, fans were in support of Mahomes being one of the best QBs in the league as compared to Burrow. They did not hold back as they showcased their undying support for Mahomes and irritation with the kind of statement that was made.
