Carson Palmer Says Joe Burrow Is NFL's Top QB over Patrick Mahomes: 'More Consistent'

Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the NFL, but that's not an opinion shared by Carson Palmer.

The former longtime signal-caller said on The QB Room the Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow is ahead of Mahomes in the position's hierarchy.

"I know Patrick is phenomenal, but I just think Joe's more consistent," the three-time Pro Bowler said (via NFL.com's Bobby Kownack). "He's more consistent. He's more accountable to run the system and the play that's called and not feel like, 'Well, he didn't win last time and get open for me, so I'm gonna do it with my feet,' and then before you know it, you're sacked for a four-yard loss because you tried to make two or three guys miss.
