Who the heck is this guy? Patrick Mahomes the 6th best QB in the league?

I came across this article after listening to the local sports program where they were talking about Trevor Lawrence....

Sometimes you just wonder what people are thinking other than, " can I create clickbait" when they put up crap like this.

Post-draft NFL QB Power Rankings
1 Jayden Daniels
Washington Commanders QB
Recency bias? Sure. But you'd be hard-pressed to find an NFL team that wouldn't hurry to claim him as its quarterback of the present and future, contenders included. He was simply unflappable for much of his dynamic debut, which ended on the doorstep of the Super Bowl . A second-year dip is possible, but who says Daniels won't keep climbing with some added veteran help in D.C.?

2 Jalen Hurts
Philadelphia Eagles QB
He was frequently and often unfairly knocked for holding more of a background role during much of the Eagles ' Super Bowl run, but what more can you ask of this man when the lights shine brightest? His title campaign may have proved he's best suited as a selective rather than high-volume passer, but his instincts, toughness, downfield touch and rugged mobility all show up in the clutch.

3 Joe Burrow
Cincinnati Bengals QB
The Bengals are just 14-13 in his last two seasons of starts, so it's clear he can't do it all alone. Yet who else would you rather have for pure pocket passing? His poise and precision are dynamite.

4 Lamar Jackson
Baltimore Ravens QB
The playoff hurdles have yet to be fully cleared. That doesn't change the fact Jackson is a walking fireworks show, forever liable to change a game in a single play with his dual-threat electricity.

5 Josh Allen
Buffalo Bills QB
The reigning MVP is coming off his most efficient season while operating with a new-look receiving group. Like Lamar Jackson , another AFC superhero, he's just yet to escape the Chiefs ' shadow.

6 Patrick Mahomes
Kansas City Chiefs QB
Was Mahomes' ugly Super Bowl showing an anomaly, or clear evidence his increasing dependence on last-minute heroics isn't as sustainable as it once was for Kansas City? A healthier pass-catching corps should help, but his leaky O-line still has questions. There's no denying No. 15 is still the most trustworthy signal-caller in the game, but he's now proven vulnerable twice on the big stage.

The Eagles ALWAYS have successful draft according to the draft guys because they just sit back and pick the guy at the top of the consensus boards.

But ultimately I think they got Campbell to replace Sweat (good pick) and then....eh. I think Mukuba is fine. Then it's just a bunch of 3rd day flyers who I don't like any better than the guys we got. I think Cameron Williams was a heck of a pick that late but it also appears that I'm wrong -- he wasn't even the first OT they took in the 6th round.

No -- their draft didn't move the need for me much. They're just getting jerked off for taking Campbell at 31 when draftheads thought he'd go top 15. They do that every season with the highest rated Alabama or Georgia defender on the consensus big boards. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it don't.

They did. They, like the Ravens, always seem to draft well.

Well, actually, yes they can ... in a very specific way that we won't talk about.

But if that happens, we'll likely have a decently high draft slot in 2026.

"We don't practice '****ed'"

Just an all-time quote.

What injuries?

We were one of the healthiest teams going into the playoffs last season. We didn't have Rice, but his injury caused Veach to obtain Hopkins/Juju. Hunt was signed because Pacheco got hurt. The left tackle fiasco was unrelated to injuries. Brown, Pacheco, and Watson returned for the playoffs.

We've been fairly lucky with injuries throughout this run. Which is probably why we've had this run. You need that luck with injuries to keep winning every year.

Like, of course I'm upset at Mahomes being 6.




But even more egregious is Jayden Daniels being #1. Thats fireable

Do you believe Brown, Pacheco and Watson looked like the full gallop versions of themselves?

Pacheco and Watson certainly didn't. It's hard to tell with Brown; he was just too new to the offense (which leaves room for improvement in its own right).

And don't forget the grind that attrition puts on everyone else. All those WRs lost in-season meant that the 'load management' for Kelce had to go out the window. And trying to couch those as a neutral because we got the washed husk of Hopkins and JuJu the SFA that we were gonna sign anyway (in fact, we HAD before Rice went down) is just goofy.

What injuries? Did you WATCH last season?

It was far from perfect but that's as healthy as you can expect going into the playoffs. Other teams had it worse. Buffalo faced us with many defensive injuries for the second year in a row. The Packers had several WRs hurt. Zay Flowers was missing for Baltimore.

This isn't Madden where you just turn injuries off. We weren't 100 percent but were comparatively healthy for playoff time.

This is where I'm at also. Last year going into the season I had great concerns about the left tackle position. That proved to do us in. This season I'm concerned with not only left tackle, but left guard, admittedly though there's more in play this season in case something goes wrong. (Veach did a great job there, imo) But man, as good as the Chiefs are, if the OL problems persist, it won't matter.

This idiot answers his own question, then proceeds to take a dump on the rest of this article.

I bet he's one of those Chargers to the Super Bowl guys(loosely) in July as well.

Even Prince Valiant? That was an autoskip for me too.

We didn't have Zippy in the regular paper. There was an alternative free paper that came out once a month or so and it had Zippy along with strips like Life In Hell.

'he's now proven vulnerable twice on the big stage' so we're gonna rank him 6th behind:

5. Josh Allen - never appeared on the 'big stage'

4. Lamar Jackson - never appeared on the 'big stage'

3. Joe Burrow - appeared on the 'big stage' once and shit his britches

2. Jalen Hurts - is 1-1 in 2 appearances on the 'big stage', including losing to the QB he's 4 spots better than.

1. Jayden Daniels - a rookie who had a fun rookie year, but again, has never appeared on the 'big stage'


Yeah, makes good sense . . . . . well, thought out.

I'd say they held serve, for the most part. At best.

No, I don't think the Eagles improved.

Don't forget that Dean ruptured his patellar tendon pretty late in the year, so the odds he is available this year at all are tiny-tiny, and the odds he even comes back the same are not great...
