Chiefs QB Mahomes Receives Awkward 'Exit' Review from Steelers Legend Roethlisberger
Chiefs QB Mahomes Receives Awkward 'Exit' Review from Steelers Legend Roethlisberger originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Two-time Super Bowl winner Ben Roethlisberger is entitled to his opinion of three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City Chiefs ... Advertisement No matter how wrong - or how lacking in eloquence - that opinion might be. The run being orchestrated by Mahomes is, by any measure, nothing short of incredible. Mahomes already has three Super Bowl rings to his name, which is something many great players never claim once. But Mahomes' excellence has been no strike of luck. Rather, Mahomes and the Chiefs have carried the torch from the New England Patriots as the next great NFL dynasty, appearing in the last seven AFC Championship games and winning the AFC West each of the last nine seasons. To question Mahomes' greatness would simply be foolish. Advertisement Enter "Big Ben.'' The former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Roethlisberger "went there'' on a recent episode of his podcast "Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger." "Yes, I think Patrick Mahomes is phenomenal. He's going to go down as, you know, another arguable goat. You know what I mean? There's not only like one goat, but there's goats—the whole herd of goats,'' he said. But ... "I would take Aaron (Rogers) in his prime over Patrick right now,'' he said. And then he tried to phrase it just so ... "Patrick Mahomes is just entering out of his prime." What? We don't think Ben means to insult Patrick here. And Rodgers? The eye test certainly showcases Rodgers' brilliance from his prime years and he remains a cemented great at the quarterback position despite a downward spiral over the last few years. Advertisement But Rodgers is 41. Mahomes is 29. ... and his downward spiral is already here? All things considered, Mahomes continues to make any argument against him all the more difficult with each passing season. Not even a decade into his career, Mahomes has earned a place at the table of legends with more room to add to a laundry list of accolades. Where is Roethlisberger's coming from here? We're not clear. ... in part because "Patrick Mahomes is just entering out of his prime'' is such an awkwardly unclear way of phrasing it.
