Saw some shit that Zeke's rushing yards/game has decreased every single year he's been in the league so far. That contract might hurt.

What mainstream media figure is hailing mahomes as a generational black leader or something like that? Mahomes hardly ever even talks about that kind of thing.

Evidently you skipped by like every race baiting article leading up to and during the Superbowl. I don't blame you.

I think I've just seen a whole lot more of "Is he on the path to being the greatest ever" versus any bringing his ethnicity into it. Not that even the former is surprising...they're always hungry for the next big thing. Even with the loss, he's done things in 3 years as a starter and at a younger age that no other QB has done, shouldn't be shocking everyone is looking to him as the one guy with a shot to challenge everything (stat records, Super Bowls, etc). That said, since the game, I've seen a bunch of articles talking about how people need to slow down on the next Goat talk with him until/if he gets another ring or 3.

Russell is probably thinking, I need to get on this QB's pretending to be GM's hype train. Why the fuck would a GM or a owner listen to players when it comes to rosters in the first place.
Wanna see what players trying to play GM leads to, take a look at what goes on in Barcelona FC where an old fart named Messi has basically had control over the club for years. More or less all players who the team wants to sign must get approved by him, and it has led to an absolute clusterfuck. Which is hilarious.
That reminds me. Recently the details of Messi's contract were leaked to the media and it turns out Mahomes does not have the biggest contract is history. Mahomes' is is what 500 million dollars total and 10 years. Messi deal is 4 years (2017-2021) 555 million euros (605 million dollars). The signing bonus was a fucking 115 million euros (140 million dollars) and he has an annual loyalty bonus (like a variant of a roster bonus) of 77 million euros (90 million dollars) and vast majority of the contract is guaranteed

Official Review Reveals Tom Brady Illegally Deflated Tennis Balls On Walker
TAMPA BAY, FL—The NFL opened an investigation Monday which some have dubbed “Deflategate 2.0.”After reviewing tapes from Super Bowl LV, the NFL confirmed that Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady deflated the tennis balls on his walker in order to give himself an unfair advantage against the Chiefs on...

This is 100% true. One of my friends is a Browns fan and he says shit like I hope their plane goes down, or he wishes cancer on players. This guy is on a whole other level of fan.

The irony is people like that guy are themselves so illiterate, they think they are discovering what they are posting about. If they had a functioning memory, they would at some point in time notice the pattern of saying "world champs" blah blah, and notice that someone always thinks they are making some deep point about world champs blah blah, and having thus seen those two thing in conjunction over hopefully only a few years, you realize who the greater fool is. Because yes, exactly, every damn year x2.
I think Mahomes was having a genuine learning experience that night. Reality hit his whole team with what the next level looks like, and it's old man Brady in everyone's head. My bet is he is the type of athlete that now understands what the challenge is.
You give Andy Reid one goddam more bratwurst and you kill him.
Bob? Fuck man, I didn't know you came here too.

I really think this whole "learning from Brady" for or "passing the torch" or any of those kind of narratives are generally bogus. Brady didn't play defense.
Mahomes learned he can not will his way past an elite pass rush using tactics that work against most teams, especially when down three online starters. Hopefully the coaches learned you have to develop the running game more. A thing that's overlooked is that in almost all of Brady's super bowl wins, they had a solid to good running game.
I think an interesting tactic to have tried would have been to Lamar Jackson it.

This. Plus his receivers dropping big passes that might have helped at times earlier in the game. Ironically the Chiefs came out with a few touches for CEH first drive of the 2nd half, and he looked pretty decent. Problem was they settled for another FG to make it 21-9, and by the time they got the ball back, Fournette had already been untouched to the house and they were down 3 scores and establishing the run was sort of out the window by then.
Of course, if Reid hadn't burned timeouts, and settled for going into half down 14-6 while getting the ball back, they could have actually been in a much better spot to try and get ground game going and stick with it for a bit.

Shit's nuts, such a homerun pick. Him and Winfield were absolute beasts this year. Last four drafts have had high quality contributors outside the first round. Winfield in the second round this past year, Murphy-Bunting (2nd) and Scotty Miller (6th) last year, Ronald Jones (2nd), Carlton Davis (2nd) and Jordan Whitehead (4th) 2018, Chris Godwin (3rd) 2017. We don't talk about the 2016 draft, it never happened. And of course the first rounders for the last two years were Devin White and Vita Vea. Combine that with the free agent pickups for the def line (Shaq Barrett, JPP, Suh) and it all finally came together this year. It started to come together second half of last season on the defensive side but Mr. Bakery Winston masked a lot of that potential with short fields and keeping the defense out there way too much.

Imagine thinking Brady didn’t change the culture in Tampa. That was a loser franchise. Regardless of defense, offense or special teams, they were losers. Brady taught them what it took and how to win.

I was talking in relation to mahomes (I should have quoted the previous post, I guess, but I thought context was enough). I don't think mahomes is going to learn much from Brady by losing to him (especially since that already happened before last year's win).
I believe Brady helped the culture in TB, though.
