“Joe Burrow is the next Tom Brady,” Skip Bayless gives his verdict on the future “NFL GOAT” debate

Joe Burrow Tom Brady Patrick Mahomes

Joe Burrow had a phenomenal year last season, ending in defeat at the hands of Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl. The Bengals quarterback tore through the competition in his sophomore season after his rookie outing ended prematurely due to a torn ACL. His heroics last year earned him much-deserved accolades and respect.

Burrow was not only the no.1 ranked QB per Pro Football Focus but also won the NFL comeback player of the year award. While the world appreciates Burrow and counts him among the best in the league, not many would go as far as Skip Bayless. Bayless is entitled to his opinion but even his co-host Shannon Sharpe didn’t seem convinced with the argument put forward by Bayless regarding Burrow being the best QB under 30 and a future GOAT dismissing a certain QB from Kansas City Chiefs.

Skip Bayless and his co-host Shannon Sharpe were discussing the best QB in the NFL under 30 who has the potential to be the future NFL GOAT and Bayless believes that Joe Burrow is like Tom Brady-“This is about the next Brady and it ain’t even close because it ain’t your guy Mahomes because he’s too wild with the football too inaccurate with the football…… He cannot be trusted in the biggest moments with the football.”

Bayless had a lot of criticism for Mahomes where he also proclaimed that Mahomes only won Super Bowl LIV because of Jimmy G and not because of something Mahomes did himself.

Although he made a passionate argument for Joe Burrow– “The next Brady is Joe Burrow. What BUrrow did last year was off the charts. It was phenomenal It was a way better year than Patrick Mahomes. The thing is Mahomes had his career-worst year last year…….This kid came off a complete knee reconstruction and he got sacked an NFL high by far 51 times in the season. In the post-season, an NFL high BY FAR 19 times. 70 times he was sacked in total.”

Bayless then went on to talk about how Burrow was rated the best QB by PFF even above the current GOAT Tom Brady as he took his team farther than Brady. Bayless also pointed out that Sharpe’s candidate Patrick Mahomes finished 11th behind Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott.

An argument can be made for both and also for other young QBs around the league like Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen and Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson but as with most predictions, we can only know for sure when it is all said and done.
