Just In: Jack Jones Calls Patrick Mahomes GOAT Quarterback Over Tom Brady

The Raiders’ Need for a Franchise QB Amidst Mahomes’ Dominance

One key reason the Las Vegas Raiders must find their franchise quarterback is that they are in the same division as the best quarterback of this generation, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes. After winning his third Super Bowl in four years, some are even beginning to wonder where Mahomes stands among the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and Raiders cornerback Jack Jones is one of them.

Mahomes vs. Brady: The GOAT Debate

Of course, when discussing the GOAT quarterback, the conversation typically begins with former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Tom Brady. As a current member of the Raiders and former member of the Patriots, one might expect Jones to have a bias towards Brady. However, the opposite is true.

Jones’ Perspective on Mahomes as the GOAT

Jones was recently on Instagram Live, and while he acknowledges hating that Mahomes plays for the rival Chiefs, the Raiders cornerback explained why he feels Mahomes is the greatest quarterback of all-time.

“I hate the fact he plays for that team. But if we’re calling a spade a spade, Patrick Mahomes is the greatest quarterback to ever play the game,” he confessed.

When viewers argued with that statement, bringing up Brady, Jones delved into what, in his eyes, makes a quarterback truly exceptional. He outlined three cardinal virtues: prowess in the running game, precision in passing, and the art of facilitation. In his analysis, Lamar Jackson reigns supreme in agility, while Tom Brady’s quicksilver passing is unparalleled. He added, “The thing that Lamar Jackson doesn’t have is what Tom Brady has,” and vice-versa. But Patrick Mahomes is a class apart.

“When you go to Mahomes, this man has got the ability to run like Jackson, and then he passes the ball so efficiently. And his facilitating? I can’t make it up.” He combines Jackson’s agility and Brady’s surgical precision, coupled with an uncanny ability to orchestrate the game’s rhythm. johes said
