Yes. It is a mixture of incredible route running by Kelce and impressive play scheming by Reid. People forget that the Chiefs went 12-4 with Alex Smith as QB before drafting Mahomes. 12-4… with Alex Smith. They also forget that in Alex Smith’s last year in KC before Mahomes took over, he threw for over 4,000 yards and had only 5 INT’s. Alex Smith… 4000 yards and 5 INT’s. The conclusion is clear: Much of this is Reid and Kelce (and also Hill when he was there). It’s Mahomes too, of course. This is not to dismiss how great he has been. He is great. But to ignore that he walked into the most perfect situation in NFL history is to choose to be ignorant. I have zero doubt that Allen has the rings if he was drafted to KC, and Mahomes would be talked about as runner up to Allen if we drafted him here.

It is not dismantling - it is asking the question of who would have similar results if in their same situation. It is recognizing that each QB’s situation is different and that the environment they are in has much to do with their success. It is being wise enough to understand that Peyton Manning is a better QB than Terry Bradshaw, even though Bradshaw has more rings. It is realizing that Aaron Rodgers on the Patriots would have a handful of rings and that supporting cast and coaching are significant contributors to trophy achievement. ”He’d throw for 7,000 yards every year,” (if he was on the Patriots) - Tom Brady to an NFL coach back around 2018. If you don’t have the wisdom to recognize and understand this, then just say so.

You're making my point for me but dont seem to realize it.

You mean like what happened to Josh Allen? Except Allen wasn’t given the opportunity to take the lead like Mahomes was. A coin toss made it so that Allen wasn’t allowed an opportunity. Another time that Mahomes was given an opportunity that Allen wasn’t. You mean the game where Allen led the Bills down the field and his kicker missed the kick? Butker didn’t miss for Mahomes. Another time that Mahomes was gifted an opportunity from a teammate that Allen wasn’t . These are perfect examples of how the legend of Mahomes is based upon opportunities that Mahomes was gifted. Put another way, these are perfect examples of times where Mahomes earned “legend” status with performances that Allen wasn’t allowed to have because he physically wasn’t allowed an opportunity to take the lead in OT against KC, and his kicker missed the kick that Mahomes kicker never misses. If Butker missed the kick in 0:13, does that negate Mahomes performance? If MVS dropped the catch against the Bills, does that negate Mahomes performance? Who is the better batter? Player A: hit the game winning homer Player B: Wasn’t allowed an at-bat Allen didn’t miss a throw to Shakir. He was hit as he threw it.

Typically when posters are accused of being a troll from another team, they deny it. This response is as close to an admission as one can get. Chiefs Planet is that way ——>

Dorsey was fired because of a management conflict. Not because of his results. They had made the playoffs 4 of the past 5 years. The move was met with universal shock because he was considered one of the best GM’s in the NFL.

Then you should re-read the post. I laid the framework for exactly why I believe Mahomes has experienced the success he has, why Allen has not, and why switching the two would result in a difference of success. You provided absolutely nothing as for why you believe switching scenarios would result in the same success for each. Personally, I think you’re just a Chiefs homer here to troll. You registered a couple weeks after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl last year, and only have around 1k posts, yet over 300 of your posts are about the Chiefs or Mahomes. That’s a very high percentage. Are you a Chiefs fan masquerading as a Bills fan?

Yet you provide no evidence to back your stance. While simultaneously removing all the evidence I provided to back my stance.

I really don’t care what other fanbases think. Mahomes was drafted onto a team with: - An established veteran QB to learn under - The greatest offensive coach of all time - Hall-of-fame WR - Hall-of-fame TE - An incredible front office - Had made the playoffs 4 of the past 5 years Allen was drafted onto a team with: - A defensive head coach - Kelvin Benjamin as his #1 WR - Had missed the playoffs 17 of the past 18 years Mahomes walked into the best possible scenario one could be given. Allen walked into a significantly less favorable scenario. I do not care what the neanderthal mouth breathing fans of other teams who only watch Allen a few times per year think. I believe that if Allen & Mahomes switched situations, Allen would have Super Bowl rings right now and Mahomes trophy case would be empty.

Imagine you're an accountant for a hardware store. This ruling would mean that in your role as an accountant, you wouldn't be prosecuted for actions performed as part of your job. For example, if you did something unethical like fudging numbers or hiding money, you would have immunity for those acts within your accounting duties. However, this ruling does not magically give, an accountant, the authority to transform the hardware store into an ice cream shop. Such an act is outside your role as an accountant. Similarly, today's SCOTUS ruling ensures that official acts of the President are immune from prosecution, within the bounds of his role. It does not however grant the President the power to override the Constitution.

SCOTUS did not give Trump the authority to alter the constitution. They gave him immunity from official acts. Those are two completely seperate things.

But not of the President. The President doesn’t have the authority.

In Sunday Ticket case, some owners might have a hard time coming up with $440 million If/when the NFL has to come up with $14.088 billion (plus interest and fees) in the Sunday Ticket litigation, each team will have to come up with more than $440 million. For many of the ultra-rich, there aren’t that many coins in the piggy bank. There’s a difference between paper value and liquid cash. And if 345 Park Avenue has to put out the bat signal for $440 million per team, some owners will have a hard time coming up with that amount. For one team, we know. The Packers, as a publicly-held corporation, must produce an annual report. Last year, the team had $583 million in “cash and investments.” It might be hard to otherwise do business if more than 75 percent of the cash and investments on hand have to be handed over to the league. Other owners might not be nearly as liquid as the Packers. That could make it even more important for owners lacking half a billion in gold bullion to accept private-equity investments. Which, if enough teams are looking for private equity, could depress the value. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/in-sunday-ticket-case-some-owners-might-have-a-hard-time-coming-up-with-440-million

Tale as old as time. Fans convince themselves, against all logic, that the position group or team is better than it is. Reminds me of when fans convinced themselves that Kyle Orton was going to step in and lead us to the playoffs.

It’s called a Judgment Not Withstanding The Verdict.

Florio has been tracking this case from the very beginning. As a former litigator and corporate attorney, Florio has done a great job explaining every step of the case. Before the verdict came out, he mentioned that the judge has been very skeptical of much of the case, and most notably the plaintifffs atorneys conduct. He said don't be surprised if the jury returns a guilty verdict with a large award and then the judge reverses it (or lessens the award).

Neither one of them will answer the questions.

No, he was ranked 18th last aeaosn. No-where near #4. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest-graded-cornerbacks-2023-nfl-season Elite would be top 5. Taron is great, but he had rough stretches last season. He was still quite good, but he wasn’t elite last year. He was elite in 2022.

Sorry I misunderstood. I thought you were referencing both Cook and Taron. My fault.

He was. Surprisingly so. But he wasn’t elite (or close to it). Bills used him really well though. And I think he’ll be even better this season. 2023 was an odd outlier of a year for all RB’s which is why Cook ranked pretty high. But for example, just the previous year (2022), Cooks 2023 stats would have put him at 11th in rushing yards, 62nd in rushing TD’s, and 14th in rushing first downs.

He also mentioned Taron Johnson, who while good last year and I love him as a player, was not elite. Hopefully he returns to form this year. He single handily lost us a game, and should have lost us a second one but the refs thankfully didn’t call him for one of the most brutal pass interferences i’ve seen in a while. PFF had Dawkins ranked as the 21st tackle last season. Which puts him just outside the top 10, which is also good, but not elite. I think i’d rate him a tad higher.

Right. Everyone gets a gold star! Some folks on here are funny. They can never admit they’re wrong or misspoke. I always know they’re backed in to a corner and have nothing to say when they resort to some quip about my username. It’s like clockwork. Meh, let me have the last word.

Spiller was used to absolute perfection by Gailey. He wasn’t used more because Chan knew his productivity would fall off a cliff. Which it did, the second Chan was fired after that season. Not sure if you noticed, but “elite” Spiller never ran for a thousand yards again after that. He was never elite - but he was perfectly used by Gailey. But we can agree to disagree. A player without a top 7 stat in rushing yards, rushing TD’s and rushing yards per game is not “elite” in my opinion.

Spiller was elite while NOT being in the top 5 in rushing yards, rushing TD’s, rushing first downs, or rushing yards per game? Guess we have a very different definition of “elite”.

In that case then CJ Spiller was elite elite too. His 2012 season had more rushing yards than Cook had last year, with a higher yards per carry and more rushing TD’s. No one ever saw him as elite though (or close to elite) because that’s ridiculous. Teams ran the ball at an exceptionally low rate last year which boosted Cook’s ranking. In Spillers 2012 season, Cook wouldnt have even made the top 10 in the NFL in rushing and 52nd in rushing TD’s.
