The former SB winner with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Ryan Clark, has ignited the GOAT talk, even before the Super Bowl. While the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansas City Chiefs rages on, Clark heaped praises on the Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.

RC, the Pro Bowler retired from his safety duties in 2014. He has since become an eminent analyst. And his analysis of Mahomes is definite. However, this analysis of his will surely spark a fierce debate within the NFL community.

Patrick Mahomes has fans in high places

Mahomes’ talent is undeniable, and the 28-year-old has two Super Bowl rings to show for that as well. But as the Chiefs compete for their 6th consecutive AFC Championship, RC has proclaimed his call for the best player.

“Patrick Mahomes is the best living… playing or retired”, wrote RC on X (previously Twitter). In a clear comparison to Tom Brady, who is considered to be the GOAT by many, RC dismissed all other claims.

“There’s never been anyone like dude. EVER in life!”, wrote RC, exclaiming his assessment. Though RC clearly understands the nature of this talk, he knows there will be many defenders of his opinions. And equally, many would disagree, thereby creating a dialogue on this all-important topic for football fans. But much of that talk will depend on how the ongoing game progresses for Mahomes.

There’s still a battle to be fought

In the first quarter, Mahomes combined with his favorite partner-in-crime Travis Kelce to score the first TD of the game. The duo bamboozled the usually frugal defensive line of the Ravens to take a lead of 7-0.

It was this extraordinary play by Mahomes that compelled RC to be praiseful. However, Lamar Jackson wrestled back the lead, with his ferocious speed, in the same quarter as well. Yet the game is going strong with a current score of 14-7 in favor of the Chiefs.

But do you think Patrick Mahomes is the greatest player ever? Are Ryan Clark’s sentiments correct or do you disagree?
