I kind of believe that San Francisco blew it more than he wanted.

I kind of believe that that past the Tyreek Hill was more of a hell e.

I kind of believe that.

Now I understand this is very, very important.

I am not questioning the greatness of Patrick Mahomes.

He's phenomenal on great.

The reason why I bring up stuff like that.

It's not because I'm questioning is greatness.

It's because I'm questioning people like, yeah, who are so quick to say I please nothing.

There's no discussion, Aaron Rock, because remember the bad man that he is I have religiously honed in on that.

Your felt was, I appreciate and Rogers and he's phenomenal and he's great, whatever.

But it's a new day and Patrick Mahomes is that dude and that is it.

And I'm saying that is not it.

Patrick Mahomes is the reigning defending Super Bowl champion, but Aaron Rodgers said, You must have forgot.

Here I come and he has come and he has come.

And as a result, if this brother ends up getting past Tom Brady and goes to the Super Bowl, and he's waiting there for Patrick Mahomes.

And he beats Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl, which is very possible.

Excuse me, we have to have a different discussion.

So that epitaph that you wrote about Aaron Rodgers for so long, even though you've conceded his greatness, the appetite that you wrote about him, I'm sorry it was a bit premature.

That's what I'm saying.

And when we talk about Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, not Tom Brady both.

Yeah, both, actually, both appetite.

Whatever.

That Tom Brady, the sixth.

A little premature, but we've never considered him the most.

It was a joke, the way we've never considered him toe most talented quarterback of all time.

He's just the ultimate winner.

Yeah, mhm.

If Aaron Rodgers beats Mahomes in the Super Bowl, then you're right.

Then Rogers, I think, took back the crown because I think it was Mahomes.

If you look at who played the best this year, you've got to give it to Rogers by a hair, partly because Mahomes sat out the last game.

You know why he sat out the last game he was 14 and one is a starter This year.

He lost one game to the Raiders, a divisional rival built to beat him, and he beat them in the rematch.

The Onley bad game he had was against Miami in a game they won.

Aaron Rodgers.

Really bad game came against the Bucks.

In a game they lost.

Rogers had a slightly better season than Mahomes.

He did.

But if you take the last three seasons in the NFL, there's no one close to my homes.

He's by so much the best.

So let's say Mahomes doesn't play this upcoming game.

What does it mean for him?

Molly?

I'll answer the question directly.

You don't have to play this upcoming this upcoming game to still be considered the best in the world.

Rogers faces him in the Super Bowl and beats him because I think even though Green Bay has a better defense at this point, I think it's fair to say Mahomes has more weapons on offense.

It's close enough where if Rodgers takes his team and beats Mahomes, you got it.

Rogers got the crown back after a year where he was getting used to the floor didn't look the same.

Looked like he was past his prime.

New day.

I'll give it to you.

But if if they lose because Mahomes doesn't play this weekend, that doesn't mean Mahomes isn't the best in the game.

First of all, it's lovely how slick you try to get.

See, that's the hazard of sitting across from me because I listened and I catch you.

What you have to understand Max Kellerman is that year we couldn't dispute.

Nobody would sense could dispute that Patrick Mahomes at the crown.

You had a 50 touchdown season the year before you came back.

Last in one league MVP.

You came back the next year, won the Super Bowl championship.

So we all conceded that the crowd was hiss.

For the moment, you were like it's over.

In other words, he's younger.

He's already two Super Bowl champion.

He's ascending here.

We speculated as the Hominy Super Bowls.

He could win five or six or whatever and I said, Yeah, Aaron Rodgers.

Excuse me.

Let's get this is not over.

He's still a bad man.

That's what I said.

Please look at him.

Just look at him.

Slide.

Look at him.

Decline I said Matt LaFleur.

I used to save the flu, but we all know that he didn't like that.

So I'm respecting the man's name and then call them the flu anymore.

But the bottom line is I said, Nu coach, let me be very not enough weapons get.

I'm not.

In fact, I remember saying to you, given Rogers, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce way.

First of all, first of all, talk about asinine comments.

You're not giving Patrick Mahomes credit for calling his own number in the Super Bowl, dropping like 15 steps and throwing a 60 yard bomb.

No, no, you're not getting the homes credit for that.

No, What?

I said Waas, I said it looked like a damn hill.

Murray.

It stayed up there forever.

Um e go look in the past.

I mean, do we need to get tapes of the pattern?

I e no, no, no.

He threw the pass.

He deserves.

All I'm saying is his play for those three quarters.

What e.

The question with Rogers is last year.

Was that about the floor new coach and everything, Or was he in decline?

That's what this year is about.

I didn't say for sure Aaron Rodgers has done.

But I want to be very clear what I did, saying what I still mean.

As great as Aaron Rodgers has been at his very best, and you and I agree, that's the best we've ever seen a quarterback until I saw Patrick Mahomes.

So I think the height of Patrick Mahomes is now the best off all time, including the height of Rogers, because I think Rodgers this year played as well as he's ever played.

Mahomes has been in the league for three seasons, and I'm saying for you the fact that you can say that Amarin Rogers has a chance to reclaim means that it was a bit premature.

What you said that means is it's close enough between them that they could still right there.

But Stephen is just trying to take a victory lap right now that he was writing about Rogers and that you were wrong, you gave percent.

Rogers was over.

I'm just telling you, that's what he's trying to do.

Here is the difference, E never, said Rogers.

I'm talking about my home.

You say that I said I think Mahomes is better than the height.

Roger talking about.

I'll even tell you the phrase I use.

There's not a dime's worth of difference.

My nickel goes to the homes.

Recall that idea, using several times Bill James quote about Lefty Grove in Sandy Koufax.

Now let me just say this.

Let me just say this.

Mahomes is the one player in the history of the NFL that I've ever watched.

Who I think if he plays, his team wins the Super Bowl every year.

I thought they should have won in his first year as a starter.

Pre snap penalty gave the ball back.

He never touched it again and see championship game.

He then won the Super Bowl, and I'm saying right now if he's healthy, they win the Super Bowl again.

That's the Onley player.

I could ever say that about including Aaron Rodgers.

That dude plays.

They win the Super Bowl.

Everything.
