Question: What happened when one thing wasn't perfect for Patrick Mahomes in the Superbowl last year, unlike the year before when it was.
Same fans: "Yeah but he tried really hard. It wasn't his fault they lost."
Don't embarrass yourself like this. He had a PRACTICE SQUAD offensive line. "One thing going wrong" would be the top WR being schemed out by the defense. A practice squad Oline is a full on nuclear power plant melt down.
Hilarious. Mike Person, Ben Garland and the worst graded pass protection G in football in Laken Tomlinson.
Yet, the POINT is, one key piece wasn't perfect, and a "mobile QB" couldn't transcend that despite every other aspect of the team being better or the same from the previous Superbowl team.
So that argument needs to be thrown out for both QB's...hence why football is still a team game.
But he did transcend that "one key piece" letting him down. It wasn't just the o-line, his receivers dropped multiple would-be TD passes on perfectly placed balls (all 3 were catches a child could make). He couldn't transcend being let down by everyone else on the offense.
To equate Jimmy's pure crappiness in the 4th quarter with Mahomes' literal heroics is criminal. Just because Jimmy's o-line wasn't great in that game doesn't mean the two situations were remotely the same.
And if you're drafting a QB in 2021, he better be able to make plays like the above or he's not worth the pick.
LOL. So a dude runs around for 4 seconds he's transcendent even after it didn't breed even minimal success? Cute.
He didn't transcend anything. He looked like a high school QB, abanding plays in many cases where he didn't need to, taking huge hits, throwing the timing off, OL not knowing how and when to block for him, receivers instantly abandoning their routes, not knowing when to break out, forced to keep their eyes on the QB vs. focused on running their routes, not knowing when the ball would be thrown, etc.
It was an off schedule s**t show is what it was.
Dude saw more ghosts in one game than Garoppolo in 2 years of getting pounded here combined.
Anyway, this wasn't an exercise in directly punking Mahomes but an example of the terrible spin that fans use; an example of the greatest non-mobile QB of all time not being capable of transcending anything in the real world while speaking out of the corner of their mouth about pocket passers, noting everything must be perfect for them to win. It's just another form of mental gymnastics.
No issues if we go Fields/Lance but let me save you some suspense ---- everything will need to be perfect for them too.
Here's something else...your pool of top mobile QB's (there are two types of these too: mobile to throw - Mahomes and throw to run - Jackson) and top pocket passers, they continue to beat each other.
The key is just getting a top tier QB, whether mobile or immobile.
