After next week, I expect an apology to Lamar.

He was the most primed QB to win his first SB to start the season. He needs to show he can be calm & focused in the clutch when he can't simply blow out an NFL defense.

Mahomes & Purdy stand in his way. He will outperform Goff in a close 4Q.

I had 3 acceptable QB scenarios over the past 2 offseasons for the Panthers & trading picks for Lamar was #2. Trading up for Stroud & pairing him with Garrett Wilson was #3.

I expect Harbaugh to struggle against Reid again & it will come down to the final 4 minutes of the game with good defense on both sides. The QB who keeps his team calm & executes while leaving hero mode behind will win the game.

It's been a fun postseason, but the historical numbers are still playing out the same.

Bro did you miss the Ravens/49ers game or something? Lamar blew Purdy out with lesser weapons.

 

This guy was Cam before this year. Baltimore literally gave him a TE on offense and literally nothing else. Now they finally put a good WR around him and the offense took off. People seem to ignore the talent around Lamar before this year. He was that offense for years. Amazing what putting good skill players around him does to your team.

 

Again lol at putting Purdy with Mahomes. Like cmon bro are yall even watching these games. Lamar spanked Purdy already.

Favre was absolutely better than the stat padding loser that Drew Brees was. The only reason Brees won a SB was because the NFL played story mode and gave the Saints Katrina sympathy boost. 

Favre was the type of QB that despite his flaws if you could pick one QB to beat Brady or Manning for one game, he’s the guy you take.

Well, personally, I would pick Nick Foles.  I mean he actually did it.

Regarding the game, while the kicker screwed up, I believe that there was an 80-90 percent chance that even if the kick was made,  KC would take the ball down the field and get it in position for a winning fg.  

That drive was shaping up to the Bills' last one in regulation. Given how the defense couldn't stop the Chiefs in any meaningful way, the mentality had to be scoring a go-ahead touchdown while draining every bit of clock possible. Right as the field goal unit went out, I shook my head and even told myself that it would be such irony if the kick went wide right. I shocked myself as that's exactly what happened.

Can't say whether firing McDermott is the right move but the fact he's supposed to be a defensive guy and that side folds like a cheap tent. Chiefs offense this year is not the powerhouse it used to be but it didn't look that way tonight.

The Bills had this game won if they simply told Allen to pull a Cam and win the game with his legs.

His legs almost cost him the game earlier did you forget he fumbled?

 

Can't trust him in any situation throwing or passing. He will make a bad decision when it matters most.

      The issue is the position Bryce plays. Finding a good/great quarterback isn't easy. Plus, it sometimes takes years for these guys to actually become good/great. What you have to look for is progress instead of regression. Bryce has shown that. Can he put it all together? We don't know yet. But that's why you place a smaller bet with the 5th year option, and wait to see. You could be wrong and lose your 30 mil bet, but you didn't hitch your wagon long-term and lose much more.

      Absolutely not. That’s too much for replacement level player. Bryce may be that. Or he may turn into something more. If you can’t see the flashes, you’re willfully blind. There’s more bad than good right now, but there’s less bad than there was earlier in his career. He’s only 24 and he’s showing signs of improvement. He may never become consistent enough to justify a long term contract, but he’s shown enough to roll the dice on what effectively will turn into a 2 year, $30MM contract for the next two years to see if he can earn something longer.    Sure, in his one season starting, Howell managed to throw for 3,946 yards and toss 21 TDs, but it took throwing the ball an astounding 612 times. He also threw 21 INTs (for a particularly egregious 3.4 INT%). For all the talk of him being a deep ball thrower, he still only averaged 6.4 YPA, with an average air yards of 5.6 yards per attempt. And for all the excuses of Washington’s line giving him no protection (65 sacks taken that year), he was only pressured on 22.7% of his dropbacks, which is a few percentage points lower than what Bryce has had to deal with each year (24.2, 26.7, and 24.0%).    These are all numbers that are at best roughly equivalent to Bryce’s production the past two years. It’s wild to me people can claim so confidently that he’s a better QB.
