We’re only three weeks into the 2019 NFL season, and the Patrick Mahomes vs. Tom Brady debate already is dominating the airwaves.

Alas, people like FS1 bozo Nick Wright — an unabashed Kansas City Chiefs fan — seem adamant on comparing Mahomes to the 42-year-old New England Patriots signal-caller.
“Let’s not lie about who has been the best QB in football this year,” Wright said during Wednesday’s “First Things First” episode.
