It may have taken a couple of years but eventually, the so-called āMadden Curseā seems to be catching up to Patrick Mahomes. He leads the NFL in turnovers and has struggled to lead the Kansas City Chiefs to contention.
To be fair, several of his interceptions have bounced right off his receiversā hands, and the Chiefsā defense has been historically bad. But still, Pat is forcing things and taking unnecessary risks.
Nonetheless, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesnāt seem to be worried about Mahomesā regression. If anything, he thinks itās just a matter of time before he gets back on track.
Aaron Rodgers Says Heās Not Worried About Patrick Mahomes
āWhen it comes to Pat, Iām not worried about him,ā the Packers quarterbacksaid on The Pat McAfee Show. āAnd I donāt think anybody really should be worried about him. When youāre a transcendent talent like that, itās only a matter of time (before you struggle some). ā¦The most difficult thing is sustained greatness, I think in any sport. Thereās an idea of plateauing at your peak and being able to sustain an incredibly high level of play that puts you in the upper echelon. And I believe thatās Patās destiny.ā
āHeās already established an incredible level of play, and he probably will for the next 10 or 15 years, depending how long he wants to play. But that is definitely the most difficult thing because they are just waiting for you to show a chink in the armor, a slight fall off so that they can, you know, they can bury you,ā he added.
Even at his age, Patrick Mahomes has already put together a Hall of Famer rĆ©sumĆ©. Heās also generationally wealthy, so itās not like weāre just going to ignore what heās done thus far. Hopefully, heāll be back to his former level rather sooner than later.
