Wild Patrick Mahomes trade proposal sees Packers fans get clowned by NFL Twitter - "Stop smoking meth"

Patrick Mahomes to the Green Bay Packers? That scenario was proposed by a Packers fan on Twitter, much to the amusement of other fans.

A football fan with the Twitter handle freezesports1 said:

“Question for Packers fans: Would you trade Jordan Love for Patrick Mahomes straight up? I know Mahomes is arguably better than Love right now, but we don’t know what the future holds. Mahomes is also getting kind of old. I’m torn on this tbh.”

His theory was met with confused reactions, especially if this take is for real. One football fan said:

“Stop smoking meth.”

Another commenter said:

“I am now certain that those Cheeseheads cause brain damage.”

Here are some of the best comments regarding this head-scratching proposal.

The jury is still out on Jordan Love’s career because he will only take over from Aaron Rodgers this season. He was mainly a backup who played spot minutes in 10 games over two seasons. Love didn’t even play at all during his rookie season.

However, now that he has a chance to show his talent, he will hope to become one of the game’s greatest quarterbacks. But he’s nowhere near Patrick Mahomes at this stage of his career.

A straight-up Patrick Mahomes-for-Jordan Love trade doesn’t make sense

Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach would undoubtedly laugh his head off at this proposal. There’s no way he would give up the best quarterback of his generation for an unproven commodity.

Moreover, they have invested substantial financial resources in Mahomes after giving him a 10-year, $450 million contract. In 2023, Mahomes will have a $39.6 million cap hit.

Even if he is exponentially better than Love, the Packers only have $14.2 million in cap space, no thanks mainly to Aaron Rodgers’ $40.3 million dead money. Conversely, Love’s one-year extension is worth only $13.5 million.

Meanwhile, it’s unfathomable to imagine a team trading a quarterback who has just won his second Super Bowl title and second Super Bowl MVP award. Love must match those credentials before trade talks could even be considered.

If he can’t lead the Packers to Super Bowl titles, Love must at least gain All-Pro or Pro Bowl selections. Patrick Mahomes is a two-time First Team All-Pro member and five-time Pro Bowler. The Chiefs have also clinched five straight AFC Championship Game appearances with Mahomes as their starter.

Finally, Mahomes is entering the prime years of his career. Suffering from ankle injuries before he turns 30 could be a cause for concern. But he overcame the odds to lead his team to victory, especially in Super Bowl LVII.

Therefore, there’s no way Jordan Love will take over from Patrick Mahomes. After all, why do the Chiefs need to fix what isn’t broken? If anything, they must invest in their offensive line to protect their prized quarterback.
