Can we root for Mahomes now?

[brdmaverick]

During the Patriots dynasty era it was natural to 'hate' and 'actively root against' the teams that were a threat to the Pats.

Therefore, I would root against Peyton and Roethlisberger and then eventually Mahomes. I didn't want them to prevent hte Pats from winning the title, but also I didn't want them to surpass Brady's greatness.

Now that Brady is gone from the Pats and the Pats' dynasty era is over, I don't dislike these teams or players like I used to. I feel Brady's legacy is pretty secure, in fact when it comes to Mahomes specifically Brady has already beat him in two playoff games.

I think I've finally reached the point where I wouldn't mind if Mahomes wins this Super Bowl. It might be one of those Michael Jordan-things. Every year I would root against Jordan in teh finals, but it was only after he retired I was like 'ya, that dude was really good though'. Where I do respect Mahomes and his ability to have his team at the top each year (just like Brady would do).

Anyone else finding it easier to root for Mahomes these days?

Is this a joke? This means absolutely nothing to the Mahomes crowd. Just listen to the things the media has been saying since Sunday.

I’d root for the Steelers, Ravens, Colts, Giants, Eagles if they were playing against Mahomes.

WTF is this thread? this is like asking if you would root for Manning between like 2003-2015

 

[mike_usagisan]

I always root for the team/player who has won the least Super Bowls. Except the Pats.

 

[Keyser Söze]

Mods ban the OP

 

[WTF!]

Perm mute

While not the Harbaugh Bowl this is a close second to rooting for a mutual destruction SB.

Can't believe you posted this on the day Brady retired.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I was hoping this was a joke, but that post was pretty long and seemingly thought out :/

Does this site have end of season awards? Because not only would the opening post win worst post and thread of the year, it would win worst post and thread for the entire existence of PatsFans. Before or after.

Mahomes is on the 'do not root for' list ahead of the Jete, Giants, and Eagles, so it's more like pick your poison I guess. But your timing sucks.

seriously. worst timing ever. reminds me of those women who get their boyfriend to propose to them at someone else’s wedding

Mahomes winning is both bad for the Patriots because that means he's in the way and bad for Brady Legacy fans. Why in the hell would anyone here root for him from any angle?
