It's like if you have 2 choices:

A) I either give you a million dollars or I give you nothing

B) I give you between 700,000 to 850,000 guaranteed

Any rational person takes B right?

Yes Mahomes could end up great, but he could also end up as the next Brock Osweiler. I don't get why anyone would want such a volatile QB.

The only way this analogy makes any sense at all is if it's in a scenario where if you don't get $1M, you lose your house, all your positions, and end up homeless. The bank is going to take any amount you have to settle your debt, so it's just a matter of keeping your house/possessions.

Sure, you can take the $700k and hope a miracle happens at the casino to save your house. Or, you can take the shot at the million, knowing that unless you can save your house, the $700k is meaningless.

Apparently, you're okay with making the playoffs, then one and done. Most of us aren't, and want a shot at a championship. If it blows up, so what - try again until you hit.
