GMFB debates Carson Palmer’s Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes comments
Former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer turned some heads recently when he went on a podcast and said current Bengals star Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in the league.
Palmer went as far as saying Burrow is better than Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, which earned some major reactions.
That includes the analysts on “Good Morning Football” debating Palmer’s comments.
“I think it’s personal for Carson Palmer,” Peter Schrager said. “I think Carson Palmer has real scar tissue from the Cincinnati experience and on the way out had no kind words to say about the organization…I think he respects the hell out of what Joe Burrow’s done in turning this Bengals franchise…and that might be clouding his judgment just a tad. Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the NFL.”
As we said when Palmer’s comments first went out, it’s more notable that it is merely these two quarterbacks in the discussion at all right now. That speaks to Burrow’s emergence and likely staying power at the very top of the league.
Still, when comparing resumes, nobody can fault Schrager or anybody else for disagreeing with Palmer’s take.
