ESPN: Ryan Clark trends for saying Brady, Manning, And Brees are not “generational talents”
ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, topped the trends on Thursday afternoon after stating during a segment that he doesn’t believe Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Drew Brees are generational talents during a debate about Texas quarterback Arch Manning.
“I think John Elway was a generational talent. I think Patrick Mahomes is a generational talent, I don’t think Tom Brady, I don’t think Drew Brees, I don’t think Peyton Manning are generational talents.”
The three quarterbacks have 10 Super Bowl rings between them.
Social media was quick to pounce….
Ryan Clark continues to embarrass himself on national television:
“I think Patrick Mahomes is a generational talent, I don't think Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning are generational talents."
The ESPN fall off has to be studied…

Here’s a good visual representation of Tom Brady going against Ryan Clark.
Looks pretty talented to me.

And now Ryan Clark outdoes himself by forgetting about Justin Herbert's Rose Bowl, Pac12 championship, and generally misunderstanding every bit of the game of football. Again.
Once again I ask: who the fuck cares what this moron thinks? pic.twitter.com/W4uPlC3Okz

Ryan Clark is a disgrace to the sport of football. He’s so bad as an analyst that it overshadows his playing career, when he was more than happy with being out with an injury when Tom Brady was on the schedule. https://t.co/gBKaTV05AR pic.twitter.com/tzHrtytdZM

@espn Please get Ryan Clark off the air. It’s going to be a long season if we have to listen to him most mornings.

Ryan Clark is making a strong push for biggest clown covering sports on national tv. There are a lot of clowns out there so the fact Ryan is making a strong push to be at the top of this list is wild. He's putting in that work.

I don’t watch any of the garbage, talking heads on TV
But I see clips of Ryan Clark on here, and I think he’s one of the most annoying by far.
Can he just shut up for 5 seconds or does he always need to have a “hot take”?

What do you think? Is Ryan Clark wrong? Are Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady not generational talents. Let me know in the comments.
