With at the helm, the Chiefs have made it to the playoffs this season for the sixth consecutive time. Three Super Bowl appearances at the age of 28 don’t come easy, and the two time MVP did it with style. And while doing so, he has exceeded the career records of three elite quarterbacks, including Aaron Rodgers.

Following Patrick Mahomes’ Wildcard win against the Dolphins, Wright took to X (formerly Twitter) to specifically take a jab at A Rod once again.

However, this didn’t sit well with fans, who took to the comments to pile on the sportscaster. One of those fans wrote, “ ” Loading embed tweet https://twitter.com/HarperNation85/status/1746391005262205172?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw This fan also took a jab at Wright and stated, “ ” Loading embed tweet https://twitter.com/mpt_matt/status/1746610598593384619?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Advertisement This fan remarked, “ ” Loading embed tweet https://twitter.com/MikeBara333/status/1746421342633877620?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw This user had a spot on Wright impression.

It gets even crazier when comparing Mahomes and Rodgers face to face. Has Patrick Mahomes Surpassed Aaron Rodgers in Career Accolades? With Mahomes’ 12th playoff win last Saturday, he has surpassed former Packers man Aaron Rodgers’ 12 wins. While A Rod has been sidelined this season, it’s worth noting that he played 18 seasons with his former team before moving to the Big Apple.
Moreover, Mahomes already has two Super Bowls, while Rodgers only has one. However, the Jets’ QB has already clinched the MVP 4 times in his career, which might take a while for Mahomes to surpass or catch up to. If everything goes well, Mahomes might be looking at another Super Bowl and an MVP award.
Yes, that’s a very big ‘If’, but it’s not like he hasn’t done it before. Furthermore, the two time MVP has also tied Peyton Manning and Joe Montana for the second most home playoff wins in league history. So, the question remains – who’s at the top? Well, it’s none other than the seven time Super Bowl champ, .

Does this mean that the debate is over? Certainly not, as Mahomes can still achieve a lot more. There’s yet another rising QB, CJ Stroud, who, in his rookie year, has already reached the level of Brady and Montana. While several football fans feel that it’s the end of an era with Brady’s retirement, what if it’s the start? Advertisement.
