Tom Brady and Stephen A. Smith lit up Fanatics Fest with a high-energy chat that had NFL fans buzzing. The two icons, sitting in front of a live audience, dove right into the juicy topic of who’s ruling the quarterback game right now.

Brady, never one to hold back his opinions post-retirement, got hit with the big question: Who’s in his top five QB list? Smith, with the flair only he can bring, declared Patrick Mahomes as the undeniable No. 1, a claim that Brady didn’t challenge. Instead, he started laying out his rankings.

The GOAT gave props to Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, labeling him a player who always catches his eye, putting him solidly at No. 2. Then, he threw some serious respect toward Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, slotting him at No. 3, calling him consistently impressive.

Burrow and Rodgers round out Brady’s Top 5-But could another QB crash the party?

As the conversation heated up, Brady turned his attention to Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow. He praised Burrow’s ability to connect with his teammates and pinpoint passing, placing him comfortably at No. 4.

Smith wasn’t done yet. He pitched Aaron Rodgers for the fifth spot, and Brady was on board, giving a nod of approval to the New York Jets’ newest star.

And just like that, Brady’s top five was locked in: Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, Burrow, and Rodgers. But, as Brady hinted, the game’s always changing, and who knows when another QB might crash the party.
