Meh, Arians was a “not good enough” HC until he wasn’t. Doug Pederson quickly went from great coach to good coach to maybe fired coach. Harbaugh and Tomlin can barely win playoff games now. Even BB, the GOAT, has looked pretty mortal (although he’s old.) Everyone has Shanny in their top 5 and the guy hasn’t even won a Super Bowl.

Thoroughly disagree with this.

I’m on my phone now, it’s hard to respond individually.

I don’t really think that’s the case.

Okay so you agree that Mahomes was elite in that Super Bowl? You’re trying to have it both ways.

Woah woah woah, throwing for 182 yards and rushing for 44 yards made Allen spectacular this week. Now, it’s some middling performance in the Super Bowl?

Spags wasn't their DC in 2018. They had one of the worst defenses in the league. They went to the AFCCG anyway. Fair enough, Allen probably wins a Superbowl. But I think the Mahomes Allen debate is still close, not a 4-0 lead.

Who is our all-pro corner? What are we even talking about? You also forgot Shakir making a tremendous TD catch. And Diggs didn't even lose his fumble, so don't forget Josh's fumble either.

Poyer elevated this week, he made a game saving forced fumble. We just don't talk about it because we lost. Just like if Josh Allen gets the first down after missing Shakir in the end zone, we wouldn't be talking about Chris Jones who had one tackle on the night lol.

Dugger and or Chinn and thank the old guys for their service

As an aside, Mahomes in the postseason, when his defense allows 20+ points. 10-3 Josh Allen in the postseason when his defense allows more than 20 points. 2-5. It’s joever.

About as good as Kansas City’s.

Mahomes brought one of the worst defenses in the NFL to the AFCCG. Josh Allen has had a top 5 defense every year but one, and ironically that was the year he got to the AFCCG.

I think it’s possible that McD has one and Reid has zero, yeah.

Okay, I guess if Dorian Williams is a career bust and never shows any ability to start in the NFL, let alone a playoff game, you’ll retract this take? Seems odd to have so much belief in a player at this stage, but hey, do you. I’m sure you won’t just pivot to “another wasted defensive draft pick” tired takes.

This is a message to Mr. Dunne right?

He’s just inevitable man. We heard “Mahomes has two HoF targets, but he’s been figured out!” They went to the Super Bowl. Then it was “he lost Hill, let’s see how he does now!” They won the Super Bowl. Then we heard, “this is the weakest KC offense we have ever seen, their best weapon is their running back and Kelce has lost a step.” They are in their 6th straight AFCCG. And they beat us. Again. It’s not much different than when everyone was eagerly expecting the end of the Pats when they would start out 2-2 and look out of sync, only for them to end up in the AFCCG again. At this point, I would be SHOCKED if KC wasn’t in the next 5/10 AFCCG’s. They are going to always be a deep playoff team. It’s inevitable. Will Josh Allen be in the next 5 AFCCG’s? Maybe. I doubt it. Allen is incredible and a wonder to watch, but at some point it stops being a coincidence.

Why are you so down on Herby?

Dodson doesn’t wear the green dot lol. They even made a point of it because Klein exited the game when he got hurt and they had to switch helmets. This is what I’m talking about with the criticisms. We should have guys like Dorian Williams and Tyrel Dodson (who have no experience organizing the defense) do it because we know the defense looked bad otherwise. Its nonsense.

They didn’t make the playoffs for 17 years prior with a broken team culture. You may have missed that.

McD made the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor at QB and Kelvin Benjamin at WR1.

Tua and the Brocketship over Herbert is INSANE.

I disagree. While Burrow has been injured twice in his career, he has shown at his peak the ability to beat Mahomes in Arrowhead and go to the Super Bowl. Stroud played at a very high level but for only 1 year, and lost to the weight class above him. If I made this list last year, Hurts was rounding out the top 5, now he’s almost on the edge. That matters as well.

My top 10 QB ranking historically has been “if every QB was a free agent tomorrow, what would their contracts rank,” because it takes into account injury risk, youth and ceiling. Mahomes Allen Burrow Jackson Stroud Herbert Love Dak Lawrence Hurts On the bubble was Cousins, Stafford, Goff, Rodgers for the criterion listed above. I’m starting to lose faith in Hurts but until he crashes and burns I can’t keep him out.

Target share of rookie WR/Diggs/Kincaid/Shakir in no particular order is my vote.
