Ben Roethlisberger Says Aaron Rodgers Is Better: Patrick Mahomes Trainer Strongly Disagrees

In light of Ben Roethlisberger's claim that Aaron Rodgers surpasses Patrick Mahomes as a quarterback, Mahomes's trainer has fired back. Roethlisberger, 43, expressed a preference for the 41-year-old Rodgers over the 29-year-old Mahomes, following the news of Rodgers securing a one-year contract exceeding $13 million with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team he previously led. Many view Mahomes as the current MVP in the NFL, yet Roethlisberger stated, "I would take Aaron and his prime over Patrick now," suggesting that Rodgers in his prime ranks among the elite. However, Mahomes's trainer, Bobby Stroupe, took umbrage with Roethlisberger's comments, responding on social media by highlighting the retired quarterback's own fitness level while noting Mahomes's ongoing prowess as he approaches his 30th birthday. Stroupe remarked, “Not everybody quits working out at 30 years old, Ben," defending Mahomes’s status in the league.
