No doubt that Mahomes felt that way. Kelce put up a great performance to win the game against the Los Angeles Chargers. But do the fans agree?

Patrick Mahomes divides fans on the TE debate
Patrick Mahomes gave his bit on the debate after the Chiefs defeated the Chargers in week 11. The QB named Travis Kelce as the greatest tight end of all time.
But not all the fans agree with this statement. Many fans said the assertion was an overstatement and reminded Mahomes of the likes of Tom Brady’s New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, teammate, Rob Gronkowski.
As for this fan, Gronk is a better tight end than Kelce.
Rob Gronkowski is better than Travis Kelce

This fan is confused by the statement. Here is why.
This is confusing to me because did Gronk play a different position?

Another fan gave a whole list of TEs that they think are better than Kelce.
Better than Sharpe or Gronk or Kittle Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates? Nope. But top 6-10 yea

But some fans agreed with Mahomes. This fan took a dig at the Patriots fans.
It's hilarious how bad this hurts Pats fans

For this fan, Kelce is better than Gronkowski.
He better than gronk, just less rings
— Drew$ki206 (@Drewski206) November 21, 2022
A fan said Kelce will go down as the greatest TE.
Gronk had the higher peak. But Kelce will go down as the greatest. He's clearly got some great years left.

Well, these debates change over the years. One thing that doesn’t change is the polarization over them.
Travis Kelce puts up a show
Travis Kelce is more than just a regular TE in the league. He regularly puts numbers like a seasoned wide receiver. And when the chips were down against the Chargers, he brought in clutch play to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat.

That wasn’t the only time Kelce scored in the game. He scored on two other occasions. That means he scored 60% of the Chiefs’ total score. The TE caught six receptions for 115 yards in the game. Impressive numbers indeed.
