The whole ankle thing not too long ago that started with us and still ultimately ended with them hoisting the Lombardi up. Even if that aspect of his game is diminished, his arm talent is still there and that's what is going to keep him around in the NFL for many more years to come. With or without the mobility.

He's really everything I enjoyed over the years in a QB. If I am being completely honest? He's a bit of a Frankenstein, or, "Alien", as some of the folks on here have labeled him. I see a lot of the best qualities that I saw growing up in Brett Favre's game with the backyard style pitches, tosses and improvisation. I see a lot of power and accuracy that I saw in Aaron Rodgers. I see a lot of Fran Tarkenton in his scrambling and creating on the go with his opportunistic nature.

He has all of those qualities above with very, very few mistakes made in his game with three Superbowl trips and two victories and an MVP or two already and he'll only be 28 this year after or during the first regular season game kicks off. He truly is in a tier of his own. I refuse to put Burrow, Allen or anybody in the same tier with him. He's not only the best QB in the AFC. He's the best QB we've had in the NFL. Period. For at least the last four, five years.

His post season statistics by the way? [BLEEP] disgustingly good.

11-3 in 14 games. 35 TD passes to 7 INT's with a 67.3 completion percentage. With another 383 yards rushing and 5 TD's to boot. With only 1 fumble lost out of 9. This kid is beyond elite.

He’s the best QB of all time and I don’t have any problem saying that.

Brady is the GOAT and has the rings but if you’re doing an all time draft with every NFL player ever…. Mahomes goes #1.

I don't have a problem with this. I really don't. Once you get into a deep dive in any sport you start looking at certain positions differently. Between how the game was played then and now. It's the same argument most fans get into about Basketball. You get the Michael Jordan loyalists, the Kobe Bryant purists and the new age thinking in regards to guys like LeBron James and now Steph Curry. 

Apples to apples though? In the NFL? At the QB position? I would have a hard time arguing your statement. Which is scary because he still has plenty of football ahead of him if he chooses to keep playing that long to rack up records. Which he may or may not even do considering the amount of money these guys make today.
