Looks pretty normal. I would think he plays.

Better playoff QB.

That statement makes no sense. Josh Allen is just as much of a freak show QB as Lamar Jackson. Josh has an insane arm, maybe even stronger than Mahomes' arm. Josh also has Cam Newton type of big body rushing ability. Trent Dilfer in the same conversation with him? That's crazy talk.

They had plenty of leverage on their side to not give him what he wanted.

Mahomes got his contract reworked to guarantee more money he didn't get a FULLY guaranteed deal. Big difference.

Even in Lamar’s supposed “best” playoff performance… this past weekend… he barely had 150 yards passing.

[Chieftain]

This game is simple to break down. Both teams have elite Top 3 defenses.
Chiefs have the coaching advantage, by a slight margin.
The huge gap in talent is at the QB position. One team has Lamar and the other has the GOAT. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to make the right choice here.

He's healthy enough to be a full participant at practices. I think that even if Andrews doesn't play his full snap count, they will put him out there as a decoy. Andrews has drawn double/triple teams throughout his career.

They have already said they are gonna re-work the deal again in 2027, at which point he'll get another 4 years fully guaranteed. His original contract is a joke at this point. Lol

[Why Not?]

Lol. If anyone really thinks that a 10 week removed from playing due to injury Mark Andrews is gonna be anything more than end of career Jason Witten or, to put it another way, prime of career Charlie Kolar, said person must not have watched lots of professional football in their life.

I say this with sincerity: if you look at that last game Lamar played and your only takeaway is "Lamar is bad because he only passed for 150 yards," you are seriously misjudging things and should reevaluate how you come to conclusions in football and perhaps otherwise.

I feel very confident Sean McDermott did not want his players speaking in that manner, but Dawkins kind of messed up. Josh Allen & Mitch Morse spoke in a much more coach-speak manner, showing respect to the opponent and excitement for the game without creating any kind of bulletin board material. This is the strategy all players and coaches should use in media interviews leading up to every game. Be as boring as possible, lol

I didn't hear his entire comment. Was it something good luck in terms if the homegrown making it difficult or was it good luck on beating us in this stadium. Sounds like some MJ conjuring up some motivation.

Andrews has never won on athleticism. He has the same telekinetic connection with Lamar that Mahomes and Kelce have. He doesn't need to be 100% to find soft spots underneath and for Lamar to find him there.

When Kelce was coming off of his early season injury at the beginning of the year, would you have rather had an 80% Kelce or no Kelce?

Let’s translate your Lamar Apologist babble…

“Factor in Lamar’s rushing yardage because he’s a glorified running back”.

It was "good luck" directed to Mahomes, meaning he thought Mahomes was screwed by the hostile atmosphere in Buffalo. Mahomes later referred to this after the game when he posted "good luck" on social media somewhere. Instagram maybe.

The same way the non playoff Raiders boatraced God in Cleats, the best HC and the Best DC. It's any given Sunday. But the Chiefs in the playoffs are exempt from that.
