But on Thursday, a counterpoint popped up on the “First Things First” show on Fox Sports: Is Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes more of a game manager than Purdy? The network even pulled up some stats to try to prove the point.
The argument is based on a story Fox Sports writer Henry McKenna wrote this week. On the show, both Purdy skeptic Nick Wright and his co-host Chris Broussard said yes — though for different reasons. Wright argued that Purdy is “not a game manager” and that Mahomes long has been a game manager.
