College football is always exciting to watch. Unlike the pro leagues, NCAA competitions are always packed with a deeper play of the game and lesser flashy moves. Whether it’s D1 or D2, football purists go gaga over the competition between state teams as well as colleges within the states. Some developments in the coaching staff, recently, have made it even more intriguing. However, most D1 players look at NCAA competition as a stepping stone for the NFL. The competition is so fierce that some people even compare college players to the likes of players like Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Manning, and many more.

Furthermore, some of the comparisons go viral, making it to the screens of ESPN. Recently, a comparison went viral on Twitter that made fans judge the person making the comparison. The unpopular take came from ESPN analyst, Todd McShay. Interestingly, the comparison involved a QB from Alabama and Patrick Mahomes.

Fans go ballistic after McShay’s take goes viral

The NFL fans did not hold back when they showcased their disapproval of McShay’s controversial take. One fan bluntly declared McShay’s sobriety status.

Furthermore, fans also commented on the lack of effort behind his analysis and his take.

There were also comments urging McShay to not embarrass himself.

Additionally, fans also commented on Young’s lack of skill.

There were some comments regarding the stereotyping of the players based on their Mahomes-like abilities.

Finally, a fan also attempted to make their own comparison between the college quarterback and a potential NFL counterpart.

All in all, football fans online were not very happy with McShay’s take, and neither did they agree with his analysis. The comparison also seemed slightly absurd when you look at how much Mahomes has actually achieved as a youngster in the league. The comparison simply appears disrespectful to the Super Bowl champ.

While the fans might have been very angry with McShay’s take, there isn’t a lot of evidence that proves him wrong yet. However, only Young’s probable performance in the NFL will be able to exonerate McShay from making such a tall comparison.
