Crazy Stat: Patrick Mahomes could throw 15 touchdowns the rest of his career and still finish with more career touchdown passes than Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman.

One of the best in history, even though you admitted yesterday that he was the second weakest link on the offense? Not a chance. In any given season, you could make the argument that he wasn't even the best QB in his own division. [Reply]

beat the '93 giants all by himself, gaining 229 yards from scrimmage with a separated shoulder

Yeah, so you discount his first couple of years as they built up that stellar team and then the final years when it was dismantled thanks to the FA boom and Jerry's ego.
I didn't say he sucked, I said he was overrated and that he wasn't in the same league as Walter Payton and Barry Sanders. Jim Brown as well. The highlights you posted do nothing to refute that.
Like Aikman, Smith benefitted greatly from having the best OL ever assembled. Thus, overrated. [Reply]

I would rank Barry over Smith... Jim Brown and Payton, I'll let someone else make that call because I did not see them play enough.
All that being said, Smith was a great RB. [Reply]

So basically every football thread he participates in. [Reply]
