2019 NFL Thread v. Chiefs are Champs, Missouri rules the sports world

[King Postwhore]

Okay, but it feels like Mahomes is already being put in an unfair box by some. I have already seen the "let me know when Mahomes wins six Super Bowls" comment online in more than one place, which is an unfair standard.  What he has done so far in two years as a starter is unreal, yet it's not enough for some people.  It's crazy.  Yes, there have been plenty of quarterbacks who have had great short runs and fizzled out, but NONE of those guys have ever had a 2-year stretch like Mahomes just had.  Unless he gets derailed by an injury, I don't see any way he isn't a top QB in the NFL for a long time.

I agree.  What he's done in his 1st 2 years starting has been amazing.   I do look that the team is stacked. How does the GM keep this rolling. 

It's not on the QB in my eyes.

Then - even if you disagree (which is fine) - you at least understand where I'm coming from.  Let's see him come from behind in all four playoff games without having Watkins and Hill to outrun the secondary (and the local police), or Kelce to Gronk his way into the end zone...  This is not to say that he can't do it, but let's just see if he can adjust his game, as the truly greats through history have typically done.  Peyton found a way to win without Harrison/Wayne/James, and he's one of the greats.  We can judge him from there.

I get he has a lot to be put in that category but he is off to a great start.

And now Stads is seemingly trying to find a way to cheapen three consecutive double-digit postseason comebacks while, oddly enough, giving PM credit for a fourth comeback that didn't happen. I am going to get my popcorn.

That's exactly it. You're in my head, you know what I'm thinking.

I'm done.   I said my piece:  good player, don't like the histrionics, want to see if he can sustain it before I annoint him god.  Simple as that.  Everything else is on you.

We probably should use the new thread now.

EDIT:  I just moved today's discussion on the new playoff format to the new thread as well, so carry on there.
