Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs made another run to the Super Bowl last season before being defeated by the Philadelphia Eagles. It was a tough loss, but they were still the best team in the AFC and had a shot at a three-peat.
Throughout the course of the offseason, the Chiefs have been focused only on getting back to the big game and winning it.
Ahead of the 2025 NFL season, Mahomes has received a stunning new take that has sparked a major reaction from football fans.

NFL analyst Sam Monson shared his belief that Mahomes is no longer the best quarterback in the league. Instead, he has Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen in that position.

“I think Allen’s the guy now,” Monson stated.
It didn’t take long for NFL fans to start commenting. They have been very vocal, with some supporting Monson’s opinion and others completing disagreeing with it.
“The guy that Patrick has sent home 4 times including this past season,” one fan wrote.
A second fan commented, “Life long Bills fan here. He shouldn’t be in this conversation until he gets past Pat at least once.”
“Not until Josh Allen wins himself a Super Bowl Championship,” a third comment read.
Another fan chimed in, “Lamar has outperformed Allen easily each of the last 2 seasons, Sam.”
“No he’s not. He has to beat him in the playoffs and win the SB first. Same goes to Lamar,” a fifth fan said.
Mahomes is coming off of a bit of a down year. He completed 67.5 percent of his pass attempts for 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions in 16 games, while also running for 307 yards and two more scores.

Despite the lower production over the last couple of years, Mahomes has still led his team to a lot of success. Until someone can beat him in the AFC playoffs, it’s truly hard to name a quarterback better than him.
Heading into the 2025 season, Mahomes will be looking to bounce back with a big-time year. He has the weapons to do so and he’s still one of the most successful quarterbacks of all-time.
Clearly, fans aren’t ready to take the title from him just yet until someone can overtake the Chiefs and eliminate them from the playoffs.
