I HATE Him, But I RESPECT Him: Patrick Mahomes 

As a longtime Chiefs fan, I completely understand, Brandon, because I feel the same way about John Elway..😞

After all the heartbreak John Elway and Payton Manning caused us Chiefs fans, this is just the universe balancing itself.

It really is insane to think that he could retire today and be a first ballot hall of famer

As a Chiefs fan I might be a little biased but I do believe this is your best work yet.

Brandon helped Tom Grossi, and How Bout those chiefs grow so much. All of those channels combined is around 1 million subscribers. Respect you man.

From a three-decade plus die-hard Chiefs fan, now you get to feel the way I felt when you guys had John Elway and Peyton Manning all those years. I hated them, but of course you respected their ability on the field to torture the Chiefs all that time.

Before even watching, I have to say, as a lifelong Chiefs fan, I've been waiting for this video. I also totally get how you feel Brandon, growing up and watching both Elway and then dealing with Peyton Manning for brief time you had him.

The thing mahomes has that puts him above all other QBs that have ever existed is that he can do straight up black magic. Sure, Lamar Jackson can juke defenders but can he slow down time like mahomes when he scrambles? When mahomes scrambles he isn’t running super fast but is still literally untouchable. Mahomes probably could pull off a mid-air upside down between the legs left handed shovel pass that somehow travels 85 yards right into Kelsey’s hands who also is the only teleporting tight end. Mahomes is a custom madden character with maxed out stats and cheat codes enabled. Other QBs like joe burrow and josh Allen are still great but they still have to abide by the laws of physics. Mahomes defies logic, space, and time to pull random bullshit every play.

Longtime Chiefs fan who felt the exact same way about Elway. He was one of the GOATs and I hated him as he almost always had the Chiefs' number. My first reaction when Mahomes started pulling come from behind wins out of his ass was "we finally have our Elway".

Even as a Dolphins fan who was absolutely happy when getting Tyreek Hill from them and still saw the Chiefs winning a Super Bowl right after, nothing is going to stop that team as long as Mahomes and Kelce on the field and Reid on the sidelines.

It’s insane what he’s accomplished within 6 years. I will forever be salty about this year’s Super Bowl (I really wanted Jason Kelce to get his 2nd ring), but I have to give credit where it’s due.

When you actually sit down and think about the roster as a whole year in and year out, its even more impressive. Pat has gone through 2 defensive rebuilded, a completely rebuilt oline, and outside of Mecole Hardman who missed like 75% of the season as the only returning WR from the previous season, he went through a completely rebuilt WR core, and 3 of the those WR were Big Ben, Rodgers, and Bradys throw aways. He won a Superbowl with 9 rookies taking significant snaps. He has been playing with below average defense his entire career as well. The even more crazy part is that he hasnt even hit his prime and is probably 2 or 3 seasons away from it.

I was at the game last year in Denver. I’ll never forget the broncos fan next to me screaming at the top of his lungs, spit flying “TACKLE HIM!!” when Patrick did the no look flip pass to McKinnon and it hit me that it absolutely has to suck if this dude is playing against your favorite team. I thanked my lucky stars I (hopefully) will never have to watch mahomes play like that against Kansas City. The sheer anger and desperation in that broncos fan’s screams was eye opening.

As a chief's fan I still can't believe it!! Feel like I will wake up at any moment and be back in the Trent green days haha the bears have to be dying about passing him up for trubisky still

If it makes you feel any better, as a Chiefs fan, I had to endure 15 years of John Elway. Then 3 or 4 years of Peyton Manning. I was too young to see Len Dawson play for the Chiefs. I was able to see a few years of Joe Montana, but that was at the end of his career. In the 1983 draft the Chiefs selected QB Todd Blackledge. Other notable QBs in that draft were John Elway, Jim Kelly, Tony Eason, Ken O'Brien, and Dan Marino. Hell, the Chiefs had an 8 game losing streak in the playoffs at one point. So, I spent roughly 45 years of my life buying season tickets, buying jerseys, watching disappointment after disappointment. But do you know what? Since the Chiefs drafted Patrick Mahomes, It has all been worth it. NFL records held by Patrick Mahomes: Consecutive 300-plus passing yard games: 8 (tied) Consecutive double digit deficits overcome including playoffs: 6 Fastest to 10,000 career passing yards: 34 games Fastest to 15,000 career passing yards: 49 games Fastest to 20,000 career passing yards: 67 games Fastest to 100 career touchdowns: 40 games Career playoff passer rating (minimum 150 attempts): 107.4 Career passer rating (minimum 1,500 attempts): 105.7 Career passing yards per game (minimum 1,500 attempts): 303.0 Passing yards in a player's first 50 games: 15,348 Passing touchdowns in a player's first 50 games: 125 Passing touchdowns in a postseason: 11 (2021) (tied) Total touchdowns (passing and rushing) in a postseason: 12 (2019, 2021) Total yards (passing and rushing) in a season: 5,608 (2022)

As a die hard Chiefs fan since 2004. I really like you Brandon and you are the broncos fan that I really like. I subscribe to your channel and watch your videos daily even when it not a chief video. I still watch your video. Salute to you and great video by you Brandon. Go Chiefs and we see you this October. This should be a excited game this October.

This is the most well produced and delivered R rated tirade and tribute to any player ever. I've sent it to all my friends back in KC and they will love it or else!

Can't wait to watch this one 👀

I suffered through Brady's entire career with the Pats as a Bills fan. So I know your pain all to well. Lets just hope your suffering doesn't last nearly as long. Honestly I'm still a bit disappointed the Bills traded down to let the Chiefs get Mahomes. I am truly happy we Have Josh Allen and I know Mahomes would most likely not have worked out with the Bills considering how dysfunctional they were at the time. I just can't overlook the small possibility that it could have worked out and the Bills could have already won a SB. Such what ifs are pointless though. Maybe Josh isn't quit as good as Mahomes from a consistency perspective but he is just as fun to watch. That 13 second game may have ended in tragedy for Bills fans but the final 4 or 5 minutes was some of the most exciting football I ever had the pleasure to watch.

As a broncos fan we all have to admit it

As a Steelers fan it still obviously sucks that he's in the AFC but at least I feel like I get to enjoy him a lot more than if he was in the same division. Even though he's shit on our heads the last few times we've been unfortunate enough to have to play him the dude is just so fucking fun to watch I just can't hate him.

You've outdone yourself. I've been subscribed for years and am a chiefs fan. This made me laugh hysterically more than any video you've made. Welcome to our Era. I've watched you guys win multiple superbowls. Now you've watched us and how many more😊

As a Chiefs fan I found this absolutely fabulous!😂😂

As a Browns fan, it was rough growing up in Big Ben's reign against Cleveland. I don't remember every game, but the pain is still very real.

God, the moose bit killed me! Had me cackling for a minute straight. 😂

Despite being a broncos fan, I kinda want mahomes to get a few more rings so the qb called the goat is actually good. Brady just threw check downs and swing passes and won super bowls cuz he had an elite defense

I'm not a Chiefs fan, but Mahomes is just fun to watch, and I think he's great for the game. I don't get how people can be sick of him, considering we just got done with 20+ years of Brady dink-and-dunking his way to the Hall of Fame.

I'm a Chiefs fan who grew up watching Elway, and then had to spend my early 30's watching Manning in the blue and orange. I felt the same way about them. Glad to see Perna can hate but still respect.

It's time to stop the Mahomes hate. This man is a goat fr. As much as I hate to admit it he is the face of the NFL. He's not even 30 years old yet and got 3 rings already. Went against a gauntlet defense and still won. I'm a Packers fan, Mahomes is the truth!

i hate him so much, then he says something wholesome, then does the most absurd thing i have ever seen with a football. Hes like this kindhearted demon who haunts me.

When manning was beating the crap out of the chiefs I was thinking holy shit the chiefs will never beat the broncos again!!! Mahomes: UNO REVERSE!

Patrick Mahomes does things I've never seen done by any other Quarterback. Even as high as he is paid he is still underpaid.

AS a chiefs fan I love this video so much I already watch it 5 times, you pretty much nail everything about Partick Mahomes... much respect

As a Chiefs fan and also Brandon "i hate Mahomes" Perna fan, i say: Enjoy the ride, cause its freaking fraking awesome!!!! Great video!!! For sure one of the best ever man!!! Cheers from Brasil!!!

I remember watching a game once and Mahomes got flushed out and scrambled left, Hill who was already on the right hash saw this, stopped, turned around, and ran away from his QB to the right side of the field. Needless to say, Hill got the ball. You don't see receivers run away from a flushed QB to the opposite side of the field and still get the ball very often.

Brandon and his Chiefs fan of over 50 years I completely understand and sympathize with your pain. But the reason I sympathize with your pain is because I wholeheartedly relate to it after dealing with John Elway when I was growing up and then you turn around and get Peyton Manning. John Elway crushed my dreams so many times in the last 2 minutes of a game. And up until Patrick Mahomes came along the greatest game I ever watched was Elway versus Montana on Monday night. No worries Patrick is not Immortal, so I'm sure someday in the future the Broncos might win the division again, probably not until after Patrick retires

Saints fan here. I had to put up with Montana and Young during our good years (87-93).

Simply the most unique QB. His improvisation under pressure is incredible... and his reaction speed and senses are incomparable. He evades sacks as if he has eyes in the back of his head. It's like he can practically feel when he's about to be hit. He's probably the most wanted QB, by every Defensive lineman in the league... tackling him, is probably like a bounty to them. Lol

As a life long chiefs fan, im not taking a single second of this for granted. Revel in the moment, this is "generational" ish. Wild.

As a Jets fan, I felt the same way about Brady for almost all of his career. So i get exactly what you're saying

KC FAN HERE SINCE 1989.. Glad we finally got Mahomes. but i have to say.. love your video man.. your awesome!

How you feel is how Chiefs fans felt during Elway's 15 years. Fun fact: The Chiefs were considering drafting Paxton Lynch until the Broncos traded up ahead of us to take him. We then traded back and drafted Chris Jones and then took Mahomes the next year which we probably wouldn't have done if we drafted Lynch. So thank you Broncos for helping us get Mahomes ;)

Been a lifelong broncos fan so can never root for the chiefs but watching mahomes greatness has been breathtaking.

As a Chargers fan, I’ve never agreed with anything more, he belongs in prison 😭

As a Chiefs fan, I’ve been a fan of your channel for years now. Keep up the great content Perna! Really enjoyed this one.💛❤️

Yep, Chiefs fan here. Same with Elway. You have articulated exactly how I felt about him. I was actually rooting for the Broncos when he finally got his two rings. The first Chiefs game that I went to, Mike Livingston was the starting QB, so I am obviously in love with Mahomes, and thank the football Gods that we got him. But as a football fan, Elway's helicopter run is one of my all-time favorite moments ever.

Stafford winning a ring his literal first year away from the Lions still makes my heart hurt. Right up there with Barry and Calvin retiring early.

I get it. I felt the same way about Elway and Manning. But, you have to understand, we have waited for this for a lot of years. Years of nothing but heart break. Because of Mahomes it's our time now.

Supposedly, the Saints and Sean Peyton were going to pick Patrick Mahomes at 11 if he were there and it didn't look like Buffalo was going to pick a QB. Then KC traded up and grabbed him. It was kinda gut wrenching because the Saints needed a QB for potential Brees retirement on the horizon and Mahomes could sit for a year or so and learn from the best. Obviously no one knew he would be this good but it stung at the time. Saints still got a great player in Lattimore but it's crazy how the cards fall sometimes.

Fair play to you bro, did not forsee you dropping a video for our kermit wizard.

Hosting the AFC championship game in all five years as a starter is an insane level of consistency and high level play.

“This play is why I hate this tyrant!” Broooo 😂💀

Well sir, that was some of my favorite content I have watched. I nearly cried laughing. I’m going to have to drop in and give a donation sometime. HBTC supporters appreciate your work.

As a Rams fan Mahomes is a thrill to watch that 54-51 game against us earned him a lot of respect in my book

This video is facts. As a 49ers fan i don't have any love for Patrick Mahomes. But anybody who doesn't respect him after he made a one legged superbowl run must have been watching different games than me. Unlike Brady if Mahomes becomes the goat i will absolutely defend him and his talent.

Dear Mr. Perna, thank you for posting this video and sharing your pain. Now you know how I felt for a decade with John Elway and his stupid horse grin in the last two minutes of every meaningful game the Chiefs played against the Broncos in the 90s. Like clockwork, he would rip my beating heart out of my chest and burn it in front of me, like a tribal warrior from an Indiana Jones movie year after year. The only balm that has been able to heal this pulsating hemorrhoid of a wound in my psyche has been the buttery ointment of Mahomes beautiful throws and magical improv. So, Broncos fans enjoy the next decade of utter hell, that all of us Chiefs fans had to experience at the hands of Elway in Manning, throughout much of our young adult lives. Up yours truly, Chad the Chiefs fan

This is growth Brandon. Congratulations :). Chiefs fan or not, love your content!

As a chiefs fan I can respect that, it’s like Tom Brady, so many people hated him but you have to respect his talent. You don’t have to like him but he’s warranted respect

Now you know how it feels. Elway was always a thorn in our side

Yeah, as a Raiders fan, I feel the exact same way. Absolute beast of a player, and he seems like a decent guy. As much as I HATE the team he plays for, I can't bring myself to hate him as a person. Really, my only issue with him is that he eats his steak cooked well done and with ketchup.

As a Bills fan I respect him no matter how many times he screws my team over but man he’s good and that I can respect 🫡

Pats ability to play well through injury is insane. That famous game where he broke all those records against Baker he had a separated throwing shoulder and a still healing fractured left wrist for Christs sake.

I once met a chick who had a working relationship with Patrick’s dad. She said nothing but good things about the dad and Patrick. ( are they both named Patrick?) She had pictures of her taking shots with the dad at some event. Also said they were genuinely nice people. Was interesting stuff to hear for sure.

My man - Mahomes fan here, you’ve made one of the more pleasurable videos of my dude. Appreciate your appreciation.

Broncos fans finally getting a taste of what Chiefs fans went through with Elway and Manning. And what will teams do when he is no longer able to run like he does? Just look to the Bengals and Eagles games this year when he was severely limited by his ankle. Or the Bills and Bucs games when he was limited by turf toe. He'll be like late career Elway.

If it makes you feel any better, Denver stomped on my heart for years; knocking the Chiefs out of the playoffs constantly. Marty Schottenheimer's Chiefs just couldn't do anything against Denver.

Thank you for mentioning Stafford. I remember Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show saying “I know someone who’s been doing that for years & he plays in Detroit”

As a Chiefs fan from KC and watching since it was just called "Thats good Broncos" I have mad respect for you making this video. I remember when you guys had Peyton Manning and Elway, I never thought we would get someone so special as Patrick. He is special to Kansas City the same way your QB Legends have become. I know it's hard being on the losing side, Lord knows we were there so long. At least you will admit when someone is a once in a lifetime talent.

“I hate him but respect him” is the one sentiment every sports fan has about at least 1 athlete. That one guy that kills us each season and we secretly say “couldn’t we have just drafted or traded for him before they were this good!” While simultaneously wishing a season (if not career) ending injury on them!

As a raiders fan, watching a broncos fan talk about the chiefs. What has my life come to

As a raiders fan I feel this pain. Mahomes goes absolutely insane when he plays the raiders. Randomly we win one but they are rare 😭

Dude, this episode was fire. Almost as good as a Video released by How Bout Those Chiefs. No really, this was a great video. The mix of vitriol and awe was heartwarming. Stay tuned as Patrick Mahomes throws his 67th TD of the 2023 season behind his back against the Broncos.

Now you understand how we Vikings fans have felt for the last 31 years while our own division rival had back to back HoF quarterbacks.

I feel your pain Brandon this was how I felt about Andrew luck being a Titans fan

As a life long chiefs fan who watched y’all TORTURE US. I just want to say, the broncos have won a Super Bowl more recently then they have beaten the chiefs.

It's how I felt about Elway, as a chiefs fan I hated him but more than respected him I even rooted like hell for him in his first Superbowl win

As a Steelers fan that literally grew up halfway between Kansas City and Denver, I have been an impartial witness to this rivalry for over 40 years. I've seen it all. All of the "Horse-face" comments from KC fans, and now the Mahommes frustration from Denver fans. I think alot of the time, these guys root for the other team to lose more than their own team to win. Now, that's a rivalry.

Agreed, his career is certainly shaping up to be legendary, and the stat about him never losing to the Broncos is particularly painful It's certainly official now though, the Cheifs are no longer "underdogs" that "everyone counted out"

Elway used to kill us, so did Manning (but he was later and not for as long a time). With Elway, it wasn't every game, but it was pretty routine. Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith would contain him for 58 minutes and then he'd do an Elway. John Elway was like Jason from Friday the 13th, Freddy Kruger, and Michael Myers from Halloween. Just when you thought he was dead, he'd come back and lead a game-winning drive. The only Kryptonite we had was during the Joe Montana era. I'm just glad we're in the Mahomes era. Another Bronco era will come some day.

This is the best video about Mahomes of all time. To hear someone from the other side describe him. Really let's you know how great he is. Go Chiefs!

As a fellow lover of a painful team… I hate seeing Mahomes and Kelce kill us twice a year. We gonna Charger and I’m still gonna be here to watch it. Stay sane Brandon.

When I was watching him tear it up against my Oklahoma Sooners at Texas Tech I knew he’d be special in the NFL. Never thought he’d have 2 Super Bowl rings already. The dude is magical. Respect to this video/channel and respect to Mahomes.

As everyone else is saying, this is what it felt like playing the Broncos for many years, especially with Elway and Peyton, and to a lesser extent, Tebow. Tebow completed 2 passes and we still lost! The Broncos pulled so many wins out of their asses over the years it was comical. Now it’s your turn!

Stafford had Megatron, incredible arm talent. They used to criticize him about throwing at weird angles. Long time Lions fan.

As a long time Chiefs fan, I have nothing but respect for you. Thank you for that painful presentation 😂

I Love this video. The highlights you've chosen are perfect and your editing and commentary even led to a few chuckles. Much respect for making this video as a Broncos fan and for the objective and rational analysis that you have displayed. The truth and the path is clear. Patrick Mahomes is the best Quarterback we have ever seen and he may one day become the GOAT. This is actually one of the best Patrick Mahomes videos I've seen.

All hail the glorious Chiefs It would be awesome for Mahomes to go his entire career without a loss to the glue factory

I know that had to hurt you to do this video,. you are a good man. GO CHIEFS!!

As a chiefs fan i am so glad this popped up on my feed. I needed a good broncos fan melt down.

He’s amazing. He will be every defenses and DC nightmare for many, many years.

I was born and raised in Colorado and been a Broncos fan since 1984...but I graduated from Texas Tech in 1993. So the GREATEST football player from my school plays in my team's division. My sister is a TCU grad but she supports anything from Texas and her second team is now KC. She once asked me why I hate Patrick Mahomes...I told her I don't hate Patrick...I have his Tech jersey in my collection...but he plays for a team in my division so I like him and proud that he is doing well...but I will never pull for KC. Unless TB12 comes back and rejoins the Patriots...then for one game I will try and pull for KC....the key word is try.

This Mahome Alone pun is the content I live for. Hail you Lord Perna!

Thanks for reminding me how many of those losses to the Chiefs were bullshitty and infuriating! Always a pleasure to relive traumas.

I respect degree of difficulty. I HATE Aaron Rodgers, but he does great things with LITTLE TO NO HELP. Brady ALWAYS had it easy...great pocket, great coach, great fans, great receiving guys, great defense, etc. Mahomes does difficult things with great players. Hes played well in pain...i respect him alot

We love you too Perna! ❤ To be honest it's still shocking being a KC fan over 30 years now and still unbelievable to think he's our QB

Omg. You had me crying as a chiefs fan. 😂😂 I love your show.

Patrick Mahomes 6 years in the league stats are. 3SB 6 PB 3 AP 2 MVP 3SB MVP. PY 28,424,219 TD,63 INT,1,936 RY,12 RTD And the 4th QB in the history of the SB threw for 300+ YD. He and Travis broke TB and RG record QB to receiver catches in fewer games together.

I'm very happy my Seahawks have long departed the AFC West. In my nearly 50 years of life, I can't really think of another quarterback who just makes it look so effortless to destroy defenses. And the unholy pairing with Andy Reid makes it even more insane. I imagine if Reid had never gotten Mahomes and did manage to win a super bowl with Alex Smith, he would have retired a happy coach and happy man. But getting Mahomes? Reid is going to coach till he needs nursing home assistance. I am expecting Mahomes to deliver at least 2 more super bowl wins to KC. Just seems inevitable.

As a chargers fan, I concur

As a long time Chief fan (40th year!), I have one thing to say: You better thank whoever you are thankful for that you are not a charger fan. May Mahomes bless you, and don't be late for his Sunday schools. GO CHIEFS!
