Internet tough guys think red boxes matter.

He hasn't made an NFL start, you're already comparing him to the best ever. Relax, enjoy, give the kid a year or two or hell maybe even on true NFL start before you start in with that type of narrative.

My post was admittedly harsh, however absolute truth. You compared, with great emotion, our potential franchise QB we've waited 30+ years for to the greatest to ever play the position before he even has one true start under his belt. Calm down Francis, he looks amazing, give him a chance. Dial back the expectations for a year or two maybe?

I don't really understand your post. Mahomes already has a True NFL win under his belt- on the road, against a hated division rival, in cold weather, with all backups playing opposite starters most of the game.

And once again- I was Not comparing the QB's, just stating that Mahomes has a lot of weapons. It seems many are not recognizing that. More offensive weapons than have ever wore red in the same season. I truly believe the media pundits, including some in KC are way underestimating what this kid will do in the next few years.

I have suffered from battered Chief's fan syndrome my entire life and it seems you have it too by the way you attacked my post. Like if we get too excited or too optimistic about Mahomes- he will bust or get hurt. I am so excited for the season, I am sorry if the optimism intimidates you. I will dial it back. Please accept my sincerest apologies. I hope we can be friends and enjoy Mahomes ****ing steamrolling teams this year.

I agree that Mahomes should throw a bunch of INTs, like around 15.

The defense will be max a top 20 unit and very possibly top 15. If we had another good corner I would be banging the table for top 10.

Thanks and sorry man, I admittedly am so on edge about Mahome's potential and I absolutely agree that I think he could legitimately dominate the league for a decade plus, it was probably the trauma of battered Chiefs syndrome getting the best of me and for whatever reason your post had such an air of certainty (to me I guess) that it made me flip out.

I wish people would refrain from Brady comparisons for at least a decade (I don't even like the prick, but his career is undeniable). People in general do not respect the GOATs and don't seem to comprehend what the greatest of all time truly means, Jordan comparisons piss me off more than anything (again a prick IMO, but undeniable greatness). Anyway, offseason blows and I'm not directing the GOAT stuff at you in particular, just ranting a bit. Cheers

The comparisons I have made have been to Dan Marino. Lots of them (mostly for fun) in the Charger thread.

As far as being certain he is going to be great- everything Mahomes has done impresses me, from his work ethic to natural talent. I guess we will see how it plays out.

Brady is given the GOAT title now because of his SB performances and it is hard to argue with that logic. But- he has had the luxury of playing on stacked teams in a historic weak division. IMO Farve, Brees and Marino are better.
