Mayfield and Mahomes


vorpma

Recommended Posts

Since last year I have heard that Mayfield and Mahomes were the new Joe Montana and John Elway and Josh Allen a turnover machine! Looks like Josh is leading in the most important statistic - won loss record!! I also read constantly about the new NFL - pass crazy, showtime, arena football, scoreboards like a pinball machine.  Looks like the mighty KC offense and Andy Reid can get beat by ground and pound offense and great defense - how can this be?

Methinks Mayfield has been a smidge overrated. Leads the league in turnovers yet every set of QB rankings I see has the guy rated ahead of other QBs who are playing better, JA included. I hate how these pundits cling to their pre-draft evaluations like players can't develop new/different skills in the league. Mayfield could throw six picks in a game but if he wins they'll highlight his good throws and kind of ignore the picks. Allen could go 24 for 30, 390 yards with four TDs and one pick in a victory and the pick would be the focal point. 

 

What I'm trying to say is the guys who get paid to babble about football are usually turds.

Probably something wrong with me, but I take joy in that they both lost today. ?

I love it - so tired of the TBD crowd that constantly shake poms poms for these two - BringBackOrton!

I don't know what "your" talking about. 

 

My boy NFL MVP Russell Wilson had another huge day.

 

Return to your X-box and Hot Pocket, son...

If your goal is celebrate every QB who is better than Josh Allen losing, you’re going to be making A LOT of topics.

I’m not sure ground and pound with great defense is what comes to mind for houston. I didn’t see today’s game yet though.

Better than your goal of just celebrating every quarterback as better than Allen....

Allen will win a Super Bowl before Mahomes.  That is the only game that matters when comparing quarterbacks.  Ring or no ring.  Period.

I realize this is exaggeration on purpose, but Josh has been never come close to a game that good, and Baker hasn't had a game that bad. You can't say this at all.

I know Houston ran very successfully today, but claiming they did nothing but “ground and pound” and ignoring how awesome Watson was is bs. He would’ve been a LOT better today by the way if his receivers didn’t drop so many balls. This is why no one takes you seriously.

No Ring.  Period. They play this sport to win championships, not run up stats.

I see. That's a strange take. It would make Jim Kelly and Dan Marino the equals of Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Tannehill. No ring, no ring after all.

Aren't you one of those who have criticized other posters as making excuses for saying the exact same thing about Allen?

It would just make them lesser when comparing them to similar quarterbacks that won championships.  Basically when you compare Aaron Rodgers to a Jim Kelly or Dan Marino he will always be ahead of them.  When Mahomes gets a ring on his finger we can talk about "missing out" on a quarterback in the draft.  The fantasy football crowd has turned statistics into something on par with winning championships. It has become a joke. They don't play to run up fantasy stats.  They play to win championships.

Am I? Depends on how close the throw is and how critical the situation. Watson played excellent; houston didn’t ground n pound is my point. Fuller dropping two tds is just some additional evidence for this guy who clearly didn’t watch the f-ing game.

You are. Who cares who you are talking to. Stop trying to qualify it and have the cahonas and intellectual honesty to own it.

The narrative has been those other guys are only good because their receivers bail them out and Allen if you just gave him those receivers he would be the same. The truth is that the Quarterbacks are the stars on those two teams. Allen was majorly hurt by his receivers last year.... but there are plenty of JAGs catching passes on the Chiefs and, especially, the Texans too.

Championships are a team achievement. Putting it all on the QBs is ridiculous. Trent Dilfer, Rich Gannon, Mark Rypien, Doug Williams, Phil Simms, Jeff Hostetler... were all inferior QBs to Kelly and/or Marino. That's a general consensus, which is why Kelly and Marino are in the HOF and the others are not.

Can you win championships if you don’t go to conference championships?

I don't dispute that. However, don't discount the argument for one QB and offer it up for another. Be consistent.
