"And so obviously, a lot of young, really good quarterbacks. You had Geno Smith to the pitcher as well, another great quarterback. And then to go with the coaches that we're going up against.

On Monday, Bill Simmons came forward to share his thoughts on the Patrick Mahomes vs. Josh Allen debate. He dubbed the Bills quarterback as the best over the 3x Super Bowl champion.

"I just think Josh Allen is the best quarterback in the league," Simmons said. "Game by game, regular season, durability, he can make chicken salad out of chicken s**t. From what we saw from Mahomes last year, I just don't think it's fair to put him over Josh."
