As expected, Patrick Mahomes kept his response classy, and he didn’t really return fire with unnecessary shots. Mahomes is a very smart guy.
He’s definitely smart enough to recognize a war of words rarely works out well in the world of pro sports.

Furthermore, he definitely saw Hill getting dragged for claiming Tua was the more accurate QB, and he probably immediately realized nobody was taking his former teammate seriously.
If nobody took Hill’s comments seriously, there’s really no reason to get in the mud.

Tua has struggled mightily at times during his NFL career, and Mahomes is a superstar with a Super Bowl ring. There’s no comparison at all, and that’s simply the reality of the situation.
