I really want to see Maye when he has time to throw - which didn't seem to be much of the time last year. Anything in the 6-10 range right now is great for him. Takes a couple of years to really prove it beyond that.
The Mike Felger model is way too prevalent in 2026. Just like Felger does not believe half the **** he says, there is no way Simms believes this. But it generates a lot of clicks and attention and that is all they care about. It makes me appreciate Reiss that he has not gone down this path even though it has probably cost him money and attention.
It’s fair to question if Mahomes is a top three quarterback. He isn’t coming off a bad statistical year. He’s coming off a bad statistical year where he went six and nine. If this is based on where QBs are right now, he does not really have the same fallback in the past when you could always say he won 13 games and was fire with the game on the line.
That said, I still think he’s top five but time will tell.
No but none of the reasons they won were him.
Sports in the social media age has created a dynamic where if you fail
and have an excuse people call you better than the guy who succeeded, which he also did by overcoming excuses.
