Allen or Herbert wouldn't work here. Brock does work here. He's accurate, what is needed in Shanny's offense. A distributor what Shanny insists in his quaterbacks and can pick up a first down to keep a drive alive. No, need for a stud, big armed Qb, here.
Joe is a HOFer and second greatest QB of all time but that was in the 80s. A lot has changed since then and Mahomes is today's standard. When you have to go into a Super Bowl and get 40 points plus to come away with a win because your defense can't put the brakes on Mahomes, you need a counter. You need that guy that can match that work and overwhelm opposing defenses. Coach Shanahan and the others can't win that game. The QB has to. We need that guy to beat that guy
Who's coping who? Everyone is trying to model their game after the Niners. Texans and Miami for example. The Bills, Cincy and Chargers are the new wave offenses, I agree, with big and big arm Qb's. But, who has been winning Super Bowls lately? Mahomes and the Chiefs and the Niners are the model now. Mahomes has a great arm and is a crafty thrower, not 6'4", 250. Big arms don't mean s**t, in todays NFL. Look at who is going to be the #1 pick in the draft this year. Bryce Young, 6'10" 205. You can win with a lot of different styles, but the point is, can you execute your offense. Doesn't matter how big or small you are.
