Ricky Watters Give Eagles QB Edge Over Hurt Mahomes, But Patrick’s Still Amazing

Philly legend, Ricky Watters thinks the Eagles have the quarterback edge over an ailing Patrick Mahomes, who’s nursing a high ankle sprain. But, it’s razor close and the previous NFL MVP is still extremely hazardous!

“I think you can say that [Eagles have QB advantage], but Mahomes, he been playing, even with his ankle sprain, he’s still great!” Watters informed Babcock on the “TMZ Sports” television program (airs weeknights on FS1).

“That’s what’s so crazy about him. He’s such a great quarterback and I think he will feel better because he will have some time to heal up and I’m sure they’re gonna be working that ankle over and over all the way up to game time.”

Of course, the 27-year-old Super Bowl champ was hurt throughout the Divisional round video game versus the Jaguars … still handling to toss for 326 backyards and 2 goals versus the Bengals. Mahomes likewise ran vital backyards in the subsiding minutes of the video game, establishing the game-winning basket.

Speaking of the injury, Ricky states he’s beyond amazed with Mahomes’ durability … but at the end of the day, the 5x Pro Bowler had fun with the Eagles, so there’s no concern about who he’s rooting for come Super Sunday.

“That’s the worst ankle sprain you can have is a high ankle sprain so for [Mahomes] to do what he’s doing, he’s a warrior and I love him as well. I really do, so it’s really hard to go against him because I love him so much, I love watching him play but you know, I gotta go with my Eagles. You know I gotta see the Eagles fly, baby.”

As for Jalen Hurts, Watters is blown away by how well he’s played this season.

“[Jalen] does not look like a 24-year-old, that’s for sure. He looks like a well-seasoned veteran,” Ricky informed us … prior to describing why Hurts is so damn tough to consist of.

Watters won a Super Bowl in 1995 … so he understands what it requires to win the huge video game. We asked him what recommendations he’d give to the Philly gamers.
