Fox NFL coloration commentator Troy Aikman could wish to keep off social media for some time.
The previous Dallas Cowboys quarterback-turned-NFL analyst goes viral — and never in a great way — for a tweet of his from 2019 following the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs 25-22 additional time win over the San Francisco 49ers in Tremendous Bowl LVIII on Sunday night time.
Aikman’s tweet was a response to The Athletic, which had tweeted about how rapidly Mahomes was on observe to eclipse Aikman’s 165 profession landing passes, and it got here simply three video games into Mahomes’ second season as a starter. At that time, he had amassed 60 touchdowns in 19 video games (it took Aikman 62 video games to hit 60 TDs).
Since Aikman fired off that tweet, Mahomes has received three Tremendous Bowl championships, was named Tremendous Bowl MVP 3 times and handed for one more 159 touchdowns in simply 76 video games.
It may be argued that Mahomes has completed extra in six seasons than Aikman completed in 12. Whereas they’ve the identical variety of Tremendous Bowl titles (three) and Professional Bowl picks (six), Mahomes has two extra Tremendous Bowl MVP awards plus a greater profitable share (77% to 56.9%), extra touchdowns (219 to 165), a greater passer score (103.5 to 81.6), three All-Professional picks, two NFL MVP awards and an NFL Offensive Participant of the 12 months award.
The one edge Aikman has over Mahomes is in passing yards (32,842 to twenty-eight,424), which Mahomes may simply cross subsequent season.
Whereas Aikman (and actually nobody, for that matter) may have predicted the form of success Mahomes would have simply six seasons into his profession, maybe Aikman might imagine twice sooner or later earlier than puffing out his chest.
