Many NFL fans love to compare players.
Deciding who is better between certain quarterbacks has become an everyday staple amongst talk shows.
One of the top comparisons of late is trying to compare players to Patrick Mahomes.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has been elite ever since his second year in the league.
Not many quarterbacks can compare to the success that Mahomes has had.
But some people are trying to put Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow into that same category.
Former NFL player LeSean McCoy thinks it is “Mahomes and everybody else.”

McCoy mentioned how impressive it was for Mahomes to win his second Super Bowl without Tyreek Hill.
That just goes to show he does not need elite weapons around him to be successful.
Burrow has a 3-1 career record against Mahomes.
The only time Mahomes beat Burrow was in the AFC Championship game last season.
But if you put their careers side by side, Mahomes has been far more successful.
He has won two MVPs and two Super Bowls.
Burrow is still looking for the first of both.
Also, Mahomes has already made three All-Pro teams compared to Burrow’s zero.
Even if the quarterbacks are not comparable, both of these teams are still bitter rivals.
Both are expected to be Super Bowl contenders for many years to come.
The AFC is as strong as it has ever been.
The conference is loaded with elite quarterbacks not named Mahomes and Burrow.
Getting to the Super Bowl will be no easy task.
Ultimately, Burrow is a great player and has been very successful but Mahomes is in a class of his own.
