He was ready to jump back on the field and keep playing immediately after the dislocated kneecap, but the Chiefs bosses would not let him. I think he's a pretty tough SOB.
Joe Montana had the Bill Walsh offense which was about 40 years ahead of everyone else in the league at the time. George Seifert consistently put a Top 3 defense on the field for the entire decade of the 1980's into the 1990's.
I think Mahomes would have done extremely well in those circumstances. Probably would have won more than the 4 rings Montana did if you handed Patrick the exact same coaches/roster and competition of the 1980's NFL. No salary cap to kill the team, etc.

Well said. Def would take Mahomes over Montana for sure. But again, Montana did play in a tougher era and at his peak didn't have many weaknesses in his game. His SB stats are pretty remarkable. So, I don't believe the gap is huge and that's not a knock on Mahomes just how it is when comparing all-time greats.
You have to remember these guys are the elite of the elite. You don't get to the mountain Mahomes, Brady, and Montana have reached by not being amazing at what they do.

Mahomes contract I think takes up 17% of the salary cap so yeah you can't give out too many other huge contracts with 52 other guys on the roster to pay. So the Chiefs need to be extremely careful with who they decide to pay with Sneed and Jones. I think Veach has earned our trust in this regard so I'm not too worried about it.
It will be interesting to see what happens though.
