Bayless was joined by former NFL stars turned media analysts Richard Sherman and Keyshawn Johnson to discuss who the best QB is in the NFL.
Bayless underlined that Mahomes is very talented but is very fortunate to be drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs and coached by Andy Reid.
"Patrick was fortunate to get drafted by one of the great offensive minds in the history of the league in Andy Reid."
"He's spoiled this kid rotten. This kid has huge talent."

Bayless felt that Reid allows Mahomes to play off-script and has no rules, which has cost them in big games.
"All this side-arm, between-the-legs, behind-the-back stuff, nobody would allow him to get away with it except Andy Reid."
"And it often costs you."
He continued expressing that Burrow has outplayed them in head-to-head match-ups and is the more effective QB.

"Joe Burrow operates the offense more efficiently and consistently than this kid [Mahomes] does."
NFL fans rushed to Twitter after his statements and had mixed reviews.
A Bengals fan expressed: "Listen, we in Cincinnati will defend Joey B to the death. But most of us also know that objectively, Mahomes is the best QB in the league. And we're okay with that."
Another said: "Mahomes is better, but what Skip is saying isn't the most outlandish thing. Joe Burrow is also a phenomenal QB."
A third: "This man really hates Mahomes just because."
And a fourth agreed if Burrow would succeed if he had the same situation as Mahomes: "Not yet. Burrow would win the SB with KC, too, though."
Mahomes has won two Super Bowls and appeared in three while Burrow has led his team to one but lost.
