It makes for great highlights and when needed its great, but he lost the game today by bailing from the pocket early instead of hitting Kelce open at the end zone.
This also isn't that reactionary to one game. The Chiefs offense was broken for the last half of the year, outside of the Bills and Raiders game.
Kupp is amazing.
As for Mahomes I have no issues with him personally. He’s great, although I dont like his sideline dancing bullshit. I root against the Chiefs because of Hill, and their fan base is gross.

Bah. Good blocker I give him that.
Otherwise very meh unless you value good route running, getting open, catching the ball and running after the catch.
Ok I lied. I'm going to make another comment. The Jeter comparison doesn't work in my opinion. Jeter was hyped way more than Mahomes, at least so far. And Mahomes is arguably the best QB in the league. Jeter was never even the best player on his own team. The disconnect between the hype and the talent isn't close when you compare Mahomes and Jeter.
Also Jeter is a douche.
Guys - remember when Mahomes threw a bunch of interceptions and lost to the Bengals? That was sweet.
I think youre taking to a fan base that had a serious rooting interest against Mahomes while he was emerging as a star, had a front row seat to a the “heir apparent” talk, and it’s more fun to hold onto that resentment than let it go.
Towards the end of last year's Super Bowl weren't Nantz and Romo having some conversation about what Mahomes now needed to do in terms of titles to be considered the GOAT? It's insufferable.
It’s more KC hate than Mahomes hate. We tend to not like pretenders to the Brady throne.
Yeah, why are we playing kissy face with him right now and aren't talking about this? To hell with your diversion, ghoff
He got more coverage for two incomplete passes be made in a blowout loss than anyone else would have in last years super bowl
I mean. Derek Jeter is 6th all time for hits.
How can a guy with the 6th most hits in the history of baseball not be talented?
That's where I shake out; his brother and fiancee seem like bozos, but I just don't really care about that. I feel more strongly about rooting against Hill and while I have one really good friend who's a Chiefs fan (and the self described "only liberal in Missouri") I am otherwise happy seeing that fanbase going home sad.
But Mahomes seems fine. He's really talented. The sideline shit is cheesy but whatever. I try to appreciate greatness, and instead of letting it grate on me I just recognize the 'Next GOAT' fluffing as attempts to generate clicks.
Obviously they went crazy against Buffalo and LV, but they also scored 31 against Cincinnati in their first matchup, 34 against the Chargers, 36 and 42 in two games against the Steelers and 28 against a really good Denver D, all of that since December 12. There was a 5-6 week stretch where they were winning every week despite doing nothing on offense (other than against the Raiders), but their offense had been rolling for awhile before the 2nd half of this game.
My bad. I had to go get the groceries so I had to catch up on this thread. The Fresh Direct guy is to blame.
Haha he also kept running around in circles until he got sacked a couple times. Also this morning Nick Wright tweeted that he placed a bet that involved giving the bengals 20.5 points.
I mean, look who’s number 1
But yea, Jeter is an amazing athlete and baseball player, and if he played for the Royals in relative anonymity everyone would feel very different about him.
That was awesome. It was like watching someone slip into blackout mode while still gripping their controller playing Madden.
So if you are John Hamm and you take this commercial aren’t you basically agreeing that you won’t be in an Apple TV series for the next ten years!
