According to Cowherd’s statistics, Mahomes tops the list with a record of 12-9, and Tom Brady secured the second spot with 39-63. Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and Jimmy Garoppolo are the others in consecutive spots.
“Aaron Rogers is nowhere to be seen. As I’ve said for years, he is not a foxhole guy. He is a bailer, not a baller.” he said before starting the analysis. Cowherd also pointed out his recent loss against the Giants in London and the season-opener defeat to the Vikings.
“Aaron Rodgers, it’s eye-rolling body language, the numbers don’t like he is 12 in the league and coming from behind he’s 14 and 52 when he trails and if you go to his last five years, do you know, his only five come from behind wins Aaron’s, lousy in division teams and a bad jets team. He never comes back against good,” he added.
Cowherd called the fans clowns who support Aaron Rodgers over Patrick Mahomes
After Week 5, Rodgers’ season record is 3-2, while Mahomes has conceded for a single loss only. Cowherd believes that Mahomes is a far better player coming from behind compared to other veterans in the league.
