Mahomes game managing ability has caught up to his game changing ability which is scary. He can beat you in multiple ways now. He's no longer the big play hungry QB he used to be. He'll pick you apart and take what you give him all game.
Mahomes is not a system qb throwing short and letting your receivers get them extra yard is critical something Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen forget to do for some reason
@@notfromhere8889 lol i dont understand what makes u ppl say these things. and yall do it under hyper informative videos like this. Purdy does not do the things that Pat does and he has a literal super team. how do u ppl fail to understand nuances after things are being carefully explained to you????
This man is 14-3 in the postseason. His three losses were to Tom Brady twice and to Joe Burrow. The fact that the floor for the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes is losing in the AFC Championship in overtime is insane. Do NOT bet against Mahomes unless Burrow’s on the other side, and even then it’s still Mahomes we’re talking about.
I'm a chiefs fan but I think Josh Allan will eventually be in that conversation but you can't lie that divisional game was heartbreaking for Josh Allen and then the wind won us the game by knocking that ball to the right. So you can't count on Josh Allen guys a beast
@@SnackJaryeah its just a matter of time mahomes has been historic but lets be realistic his pace of winning is not maintainable eventually mahomes is gonna go through a era were he is getting bounced out first round of the playoffs and so on. Eventually the josh allens,joe burrows will get there moment to shine. But for now its mahomes and nobody else
@@SnackJar”the wind won us the game” 😂 gtfo here.. pretending to be a chiefs fan. Does this strategy actual work? And the game only would’ve been tied. KC still would’ve had 1:40 with 3 timeouts to move the ball into field goal range for the win 😂
th idea of mahomes developing his game management ability while simultaneously rattling off explosive scrambling plays ALL WHILE HAVING A DAD BOD is legit hilarious and terrifying
@@blueleader392just straight sore losers that can't accept that their team doesn't have a Mahomes or a Brady so they have to fabricate some crazy conspiracy or act like the Chiefs somehow control the refs without actually looking at how many flags were thrown or how many both teams got away with. People only like underdog winners but once that dog start winning consistently it must be some other reason and then the hate flows, it's really disrespectful to how much time these players put into their craft starting at childhood.
Hopefully the Chiefs stop making things so much harder on themselves and just pick up a WR from free agency and/or learn to just put Mahomes under center and run more zone plays.
What makes Pat so good is his ability to ALWAYS win the down. He’s a pure passer that can use his legs, he’s smart and durable. KC quite literally hit the lotto with Pat
I think anyone with eyes can see that Mahomes throws the ball better than probably any quarterback ever. Brady may be the GOAT but he can’t throw from any platform like Mahomes can and with complete accuracy too.
@@davidgomez82nobody threw a ball better than Rodgers. Mahomes separates himself with his ability to not let pressures convert into sacks. But throw for throw it's rodgers, marino and then mahomes
The funny thing is everyone says Brady is GOAT. But in reality, Mahomes is much, much better. You can't compare 23 seasons to just 7 seasons so compare Brady's first 7 to Mahomes first 7. Brady doesn't even come close. Mahomes is on pace to surpass Brady in every category in half the time. As an example in just 7 seasons, Mahomes has rushed for 1,936 yards. Brady has only rushed for 1,123 yards in 23 seasons. Mahomes has rushed for 813 more yards in just 7 seasons than Brady did his entire career. Head-to-head stats for their first 7 years are ridiculous. Brady isn't even a close second to Mahomes. At the same point in their careers, Mahomes has more yards, TDs, and everything else. And when I say more... I mean a lot more.
@@icebergthegamer In reality Mahomes is already better than Brady. When you compare stats for Brady's first 7 seasons to Mahomes 7 seasons are crazy. Brady' stats aren't even close.
It’s going to be a Chiefs blowout after the NFL office delivers a mysterious briefcase to Brock Purdy and he throws three interceptions in the first half. Or he does that all on his own since he’s been pretty bad to start playoff games this year.
Mahomes this year has mastered the art that got Brady to more Super Bowls than he had any right to: 1. Have a top 3 defense 2. Get a 10 point lead 3. Don’t fuck up But he also adds in 2-3 plays per game that no one else can make, that’s the difference. Brady is probably a bit more savvy than Mahomes but he could never beat anyone with his legs (except Brian Urlacher😂) and Pat’s arm talent is ungodly
Man I really appreciate this kind of video. Love the edit style and breakdown so we can understand easily. Pat's ability to throw wrong angle across the body when it is perfectly covered but still finding someone is not mentioned enough. He is ridiculous even without his deep throws.
Ppl need to remember. Tom had a top 10 defense for at least 15 seasons. He had a top 10 defense for 90% of his career wins I wish I was kidding Pat has only had a top 10 defense since about the middle of last year or so. He's had to do more with less and compared to Tom's first 6 years starting pat has been more successful
@@GuitarGuy17tolifethey still have a top 10 defense since brady left and held mahomes to a 92 qbr with 2tds and 2ints this year. And what did that do? Nothing without Brady. The top defense in the league rarely wins the superbowl lol
Also the regular season is exhausting. Even Brady got worn out at times and would save his breath for the post-season. Mahomes is learning to do similar and coast when its not necessary to ball out.
KC is playing to the strength of their team just like Bill B would always do. Even if the Chiefs WRs do get deep they're probably gonna drop it. With their top defense you don't want to lose the turnover battle because that's most likely the only way Mahomes loses games.
He actually has more touchdown passes behind the line of scrimmage than Brady had his entire career. Mahomes has been throwing short for years bc his scheme is so yac dependent.
Its less about the drops more than having enough reliable targets so Pat has cushy answers against man and blitzes. Plus Kelce's drop off seems more evident now where unless he's 95% for the whole season, he's gonna coast it and save it all in January. So you need other guys besides Rashee Rice to step up to make spreading the ball around for YAC more of a threat.
As a chiefs fan since 00 I listened to post game press conferences media availability podcasts you name it. Pat has stated multiple time about his shift towards do what he needs to do to win and not trying to put the whole team on his shoulders every single play anymore. So while he doesn't have as many average air yard per pass necessarily I think somehow it has improved his performance and he's still getting the same results he was before
Wow guess I wasn't the only one thar liked sinking and dunking with precision and accuracy. People somehow call it a system but in reality only the ones with the highest football iqs can do it.
Sitting behind Alex Smith for his entire rookie year likely helped him a lot, and especially with the injury last year, Mahomes was forced to adapt. And he doesn't just adapt from season to season or game to game, it's literally drive to drive and play to play. If the situation calls for a gunslinger, Mahomes ascends to a level I can only compare to prime Brett Farve. And when the situation calls for game management, Mahomes dials it back and operates Reid's scheme with the precision and efficiency that previously only Alex Smith ever could. He is, somehow, the best of both worlds, and it's incredible to watch.
Great video as always! I love how you articulate in detail the strategic and technical aspects of the game, that I as a TV watching fan, can sense but can't explain. It's like watching someone with a lot music theory or studio production knowledge explain why a song sounds so good. I am so excited for this Superbowl, and I don't get the popular disappointment with the matchup. I understand people want to see new teams have shot; especially in the case of long suffering franchises (Lions). But this Superbowl has so much drama to it! In one corner you have the Chiefs. A team who has an opportunity to cement their dynasty status with a third Superbowl win. In the other corner is the Shanahan 49er's. A great successful team, but who lost their shot at a Superbowl (to Chiefs of all teams) and have had to wait four long grueling years for another chance. If 49er's win, then Shanahan finally gets that choking narrative off his back and the core of 49er's get a much deserved ring. If the Chiefs win, dynasty status achieved and absolute agony for the 49er's. This matchup feels so 50/50 to me, and I can see it going either way. On paper the 49'ers seem like the better team. They're like this beautiful, violent machine that when it gets going is almost impossible to stop. But if anyone can throw a wrench into that machine and gunk it up: it's Spags, it's Mahommes, it's the Chiefs! I can't wait!
Mahomes is Bradys brain, Aaron Rodgers arm talent, Peyton Mannings command and control, and steve smiths running skills all combined. He is literally a god tier QB
In reality, Mahomes is already better than Brady. When you compare stats for Brady's first 7 seasons to Mahomes 7 seasons are crazy. Brady's stats aren't even close.n reality, Mahom
4:55 no no no no, you don’t get to make that joke. I’m just tryna get my fix of film analysis and now I’m crying in laughter. It caught me so off guard. 😂😂
I genuinely think the best cross sports comp for Mahomes is Tiger Woods. The gap between him and the rest of the field is shocking, and as great as Brady was that was never the case with him.
I appreciate you being unbiased and realistic, but man, I wish you'd give me some hope against the chiefs... The D will have to generate something. Sacks or forced fumbles, or something.
2 reasons can explain Mahomes sudden lack of deep passing...1) opponents play KC for deep passes..so he is now taking what the defenses give him 2) he lacks the same speed and talent at WR like they were a few years ago
Another great video, Sir Alex! This video explains a lot of what we have been seeing from Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense lately. Thank you for your continuing good work!
Amazing video. Love the break down. I'd love to see you break down the Chiefs defense and how it confused Lamar to no end, making him turn the ball over 3 times, including the first fumble since October. And also how the Chiefs defense will confuse Brock Purdy and win the Super Bowl with ease. I know you see how nuts Spags scheme is.
I’ve said it once I’ll say it again as of now Brady is the greatest to ever do it and Mahomes is the best. He is as smart and lethal but much more athletic than Brady ever was. Greatness ≠ best
No where near as smart. The reason he has to extend plays is he gets fooled pre and post snap quite frequently. Brady hardly ever got fooled by a defense and he knows how to attach so he just changes play, protection, routes and throws a dime making it look ordinary.
Mahomes has to scramble and throw outside the pocket because he isn't as efficient as Brady. Brady just got the ball out on time. He actually led the league in air yards AND had the shortest time to throw when he was on the bucs
I would love for ppl to go back and do film breakdowns of Tom Brady. You don't got to 10 superbowls and win 7 of them by being a game manager. There had to have been way more to his game than what his reputation was.
The thing is everyone says Brady is GOAT. But in reality, Mahomes is much, much better. You can't compare 23 seasons to just 7 seasons so compare Brady's first 7 to Mahomes first 7. Brady doesn't even come close. Mahomes is on pace to surpass Brady in every category in half the time. As an example in just 7 seasons, Mahomes has rushed for 1,936 yards.

Head-to-head stats for their first 7 years are ridiculous. Brady isn't even a close second to Mahomes. At the same point in their careers, Mahomes has more yards, TDs, and everything else. And when I say more... I mean a lot more.
As a KC native and life long Chiefs fan the GOAT conversion is still a little unfair. Because even though what I've been watching with my QB is clearly the best QB play I've ever seen, that never really needed to be the case with Brady. He didn't have a standard to uphold, he set the bar himself. So, oddly, a lot of Mahomes success is an attribute to Tom Brady.
Mahomes is on pace and is having an outstanding career but Brady is just a different animal. Right now, the gap between Brady and the next best guy is literally so big it's a joke.
I know youve gotten a lot of "aged like milk" comments on your recent videos but this was a good topic and analysis. Your other ones are good too you just perhaps underestimated the difference between regular and post season football Since last year its felt like a different mahomes but i couldnt put my finger on it. This looks more like the eagles offense of yore or when Alex smith was starting for KC
we’re just that good now, we don’t need to win these crazy shootouts every game anymore and have to put up 30 ppg. our defense has been so good every single game that it allows our offense to be so methodical and smart, we don’t need to take so many chances anymore and pat knows that and it should be just as scary to every other team in the league as him posting up 5000 yds and 50 td
Hate mahomes as a person and his wife and I love Tom Brady. But it is so nice to see a video seriously talking about skill and style instead of scripts and swift
Yes if he wins 5 more superbowls and averages 5,000 yard and 50 tds for the next 10 years he will catch Tom. Btw his stats have already been declining the past two years.
In playoff games, style don't matter, its all about result. Dink & dunks is like playing chess and messing with the opponent to the point of frustration with boring stuff.
Combination of how defenses play them, loss of weaponry and decreased talent on Oline. (Haven't watched the video but this my off the hip analysis for the depth of attempts in the Kansas City offensive scheme)
Excellent video! I always had a feeling that, ever since the Tyreek Hill trade, that this was the type of offense and playstyle that the Chiefs wanted to transition into. I remember when a little while ago, that you did a video breaking down the Chiefs' struggles against the blitz. It seems like, with the quicker releases, that they have made the proper adjustment! This year's Chiefs teams certainly reminds me of some of the Brady Patriots teams, and they are going to be VERY tough to beat for some time.
Not true we are discounting Brady a lot because he was never in an offensive system.He never enjoyed the offensive talent that Mahomes had day one on the Chiefs roster in Kelce and Hill. He did once he was in his 7th season in the NFL. You should lookup what Brady was able to do with a supposedly washed Randy Moss it is just as amazing as Mahomes 1st season in the NFL if not more. The main reason why Brady is discounted a lot is playing for a defensive coach we clearly have no idea what he would have been able to do under someone like Andy Reid where Bill Belichick kept most of his draft capital for the defence. The other thing that is truly amazing about Mahomes is his athleticism in the case of Brady it is more what you can’t see. If we wanted to know who is best we would have to be able to measure what we can’t see. This is how Brady was able to make up the difference between him, Peyton and Rodgers. This is how he was able to distanciante himself from those two. What in the end was the difference was his intangibles. Since they are intangible and Tom no longer plays it will be hard to determine if he might have more than Patrick.
Mahomes just doesn’t have the accuracy of Brady. He’s accurate, but Brady was on another level with completing passes to wide receivers that aren’t open which Mahomes really can’t do
I've said this all season long. I also realised that most of his statistical advantages over the years is purely YAC. It's averaging out at around 6.4 yards a completion for his career, which is insanely high compared to other great qbs.
You do realize MVS is the highest paid KC WR right? You do realize Mahomes fundamentally changed the way defenses play in the NFL? Brady never did not.
I mean what do you expect when his best receiver is a TE, his constant stretching of the defense cant come without some good WRs. I hope Rashee and another guy is enough to let him stretch his legs a bit because his highlights are fun to watch. This does speak volumes about Tom Brady however, considering for much of his career he had stacked receiving corps and mahomes is just now, with 1 proven weapon dipping into his territory.
Usually NFL film is irrelevant to high school ball and should be ignored but I think all high school quarterbacks should watch film of Brady throwing nothing but incompletions. His mastery of legal intentional grounding is unprecedented.
People understand that Mahomes *fundamentally changed the way NFL defenses play*? Right? You think he wants to throw short!? LOL. Look at the highlights from 2018-2020. Defenses are playing KC like Mahomes is a regular QB. He isn't.
I said to myself there are going to be some dummies that say something like Purdy does this same thing but everyone goes crazy when Patrick does it🤣😂 yall need to exceed that surface level thought process on sports that yall have and pay attention to context and nuance man. that half ass evaluation is disgusting 🤮
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

He’s dying a hero SO that he can become the villain. lol. Mahomes is absolutely insane

Another great video, Sir Alex! This video explains a lot of what we have been seeing from Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense lately. Thank you for your continuing good work!
Mahomes changed the nfl 2 high safeties every play now
Exactly. The guy fundamentally changed how the NFL plays defense. How is THAT not a topic for discussion?

Having shit receivers tends to do that to a qb
Amazing video. Love the break down. I'd love to see you break down the Chiefs defense and how it confused Lamar to no end, making him turn the ball over 3 times, including the first fumble since October. And also how the Chiefs defense will confuse Brock Purdy and win the Super Bowl with ease. I know you see how nuts Spags scheme is.
He will never be the GOAT! Brady beat him head to head when it counted! He can easily become #2 aka GOAT jr.
😂😂😂
I’ve said it once I’ll say it again as of now Brady is the greatest to ever do it and Mahomes is the best. He is as smart and lethal but much more athletic than Brady ever was. Greatness ≠ best
No where near as smart. The reason he has to extend plays is he gets fooled pre and post snap quite frequently. Brady hardly ever got fooled by a defense and he knows how to attach so he just changes play, protection, routes and throws a dime making it look ordinary.
Mahomes has to scramble and throw outside the pocket because he isn't as efficient as Brady. Brady just got the ball out on time. He actually led the league in air yards AND had the shortest time to throw when he was on the bucs
I would love for ppl to go back and do film breakdowns of Tom Brady. You don't got to 10 superbowls and win 7 of them by being a game manager. There had to have been way more to his game than what his reputation was.
The thing is everyone says Brady is GOAT. But in reality, Mahomes is much, much better. You can't compare 23 seasons to just 7 seasons so compare Brady's first 7 to Mahomes first 7. Brady doesn't even come close. Mahomes is on pace to surpass Brady in every category in half the time. As an example in just 7 seasons, Mahomes has rushed for 1,936 yards. Brady has only rushed for 1,123 yards in 23 seasons. Mahomes has rushed for 813 more yards in just 7 seasons than Brady did his entire career. Head-to-head stats for their first 7 years are ridiculous. Brady isn't even a close second to Mahomes. At the same point in their careers, Mahomes has more yards, TDs, and everything else. And when I say more... I mean a lot more.
As a KC native and life long Chiefs fan the GOAT conversion is still a little unfair. Because even though what I've been watching with my QB is clearly the best QB play I've ever seen, that never really needed to be the case with Brady. He didn't have a standard to uphold, he set the bar himself. So, oddly, a lot of Mahomes success is an attribute to Tom Brady.
Fellow chiefs fan since 07. Completely agree. Even if Mahomes surpasses Brady by whatever metric, Brady shouldn't lose an ounce of our respect
Mahomes is on pace and is having an outstanding career but Brady is just a different animal. Right now, the gap between Brady and the next best guy is literally so big it's a joke.
I know youve gotten a lot of "aged like milk" comments on your recent videos but this was a good topic and analysis. Your other ones are good too you just perhaps underestimated the difference between regular and post season football
Since last year its felt like a different mahomes but i couldnt put my finger on it. This looks more like the eagles offense of yore or when Alex smith was starting for KC
Mahomes PER #1 ALL TIME in playoffs overall already. Best stats in all categories of ANY QB EVER. CRAZEEEEEYYYY
Brady isn’t the best ever sorry
Montana 4 for 4 zero ints
Bradshaw 4 for 4
Back when they didn’t create rules for crybaby quarterbacks like Brady
I had to rewind it 2 times but he did say Kermit Tom Brady lol!
we’re just that good now, we don’t need to win these crazy shootouts every game anymore and have to put up 30 ppg. our defense has been so good every single game that it allows our offense to be so methodical and smart, we don’t need to take so many chances anymore and pat knows that and it should be just as scary to every other team in the league as him posting up 5000 yds and 50 td
Chiefs defense was historically great this year. On par with the 2000 Ravens defense scoring wise
All mahomes need to do is keep this level of play for another 8 to 10 years and he might catch brady. Assuming he stays incredibly healthy.
Hate mahomes as a person and his wife and I love Tom Brady. But it is so nice to see a video seriously talking about skill and style instead of scripts and swift
I wonder how barry will react to this
He did say he used Brady’s advice 🤷🏾♂️ something Allen needs to take but he’s too hard headed
ok u had me until u said kelce ain’t that guy anymore 🤣 u might want to redo ur research on kelce
mahomes will go down as the greatest qb ever when he retires which is crazy to even say
Yes if he wins 5 more superbowls and averages 5,000 yard and 50 tds for the next 10 years he will catch Tom. Btw his stats have already been declining the past two years.
@@JC-db7so in their first 7 years mahomes has better stats in just about everything. he will be regarded as the best qb ever.
Mahomes can do all of those things because his offensive linemen are allowed to hold 😂
You throw to the open guy, and let him get yards. You do what you need to do to win.
Yeah. He took Toms advice when he was speaking to Allen. Josh however, did not.
Mahomes is Tom Brady with a cannon arm, AND legs.
his wrs are pretty bad this year so he's gotta take the easy ones
In playoff games, style don't matter, its all about result. Dink & dunks is like playing chess and messing with the opponent to the point of frustration with boring stuff.
Combination of how defenses play them, loss of weaponry and decreased talent on Oline. (Haven't watched the video but this my off the hip analysis for the depth of attempts in the Kansas City offensive scheme)
Love it OD!
@@AlexRollinsNFL watched it and I was pretty cool. Lol, great work as always!
Excellent video! I always had a feeling that, ever since the Tyreek Hill trade, that this was the type of offense and playstyle that the Chiefs wanted to transition into. I remember when a little while ago, that you did a video breaking down the Chiefs' struggles against the blitz. It seems like, with the quicker releases, that they have made the proper adjustment! This year's Chiefs teams certainly reminds me of some of the Brady Patriots teams, and they are going to be VERY tough to beat for some time.
"Kelce's not really that guy anymore" Dog did you even watch the Afc Championship? tf are you on about
He lost a step man can't get open on his own
🧢
Ref ball
What's crazy is that brady can't even enjoy retirement for a year without bring hated on
Pat in terms of raw talent, was always better than Brady since the moment he became a starter.
Not true we are discounting Brady a lot because he was never in an offensive system.He never enjoyed the offensive talent that Mahomes had day one on the Chiefs roster in Kelce and Hill. He did once he was in his 7th season in the NFL. You should lookup what Brady was able to do with a supposedly washed Randy Moss it is just as amazing as Mahomes 1st season in the NFL if not more. The main reason why Brady is discounted a lot is playing for a defensive coach we clearly have no idea what he would have been able to do under someone like Andy Reid where Bill Belichick kept most of his draft capital for the defence. The other thing that is truly amazing about Mahomes is his athleticism in the case of Brady it is more what you can’t see. If we wanted to know who is best we would have to be able to measure what we can’t see. This is how Brady was able to make up the difference between him, Peyton and Rodgers. This is how he was able to distanciante himself from those two. What in the end was the difference was his intangibles. Since they are intangible and Tom no longer plays it will be hard to determine if he might have more than Patrick.
@@michelleblanc6377Thats right. Brady enjoyed a Top 10 defense on day one
@@poindextertunes Mahomes had Hill and Kelce in their primes since day 1. It doesn't get easier than that lol
@@poindextertunes patriots defense has been good since brady left and what have they done? Lol stop acting like Brady is carried. He is the elixr
Don’t let the Brock Purdy haters see this bro
Astronomical glaze.
Kermit Tom Brady is CRAZY
It’s been like this for years
My hair dresser tried to tell me she thought Mahomes was a system qb 😂
Mahomes just doesn’t have the accuracy of Brady. He’s accurate, but Brady was on another level with completing passes to wide receivers that aren’t open which Mahomes really can’t do
We have to outscore him and the cheifs in order to beat him
C-H-I-E-F-S
I've said this all season long. I also realised that most of his statistical advantages over the years is purely YAC. It's averaging out at around 6.4 yards a completion for his career, which is insanely high compared to other great qbs.
You do realize MVS is the highest paid KC WR right? You do realize Mahomes fundamentally changed the way defenses play in the NFL? Brady never did not.
@@rpospeedwagon literally none of what you said has anything to do with my post
Purdy is better
Real
DEFLATED SUBJECT 🏈
DAMN! Goosebumps.
kermet tom brady🤣🤣
I mean what do you expect when his best receiver is a TE, his constant stretching of the defense cant come without some good WRs. I hope Rashee and another guy is enough to let him stretch his legs a bit because his highlights are fun to watch.
This does speak volumes about Tom Brady however, considering for much of his career he had stacked receiving corps and mahomes is just now, with 1 proven weapon dipping into his territory.
Anyone Know Why Sports Media Mahomeboy Fans LOVE "Stats" But Never Show a Graphic of SB Stats Between Mahomes & Montana?....Just Wondering is All
Bang Bang
Chiefs 2023 WR core might be the worst crew in the modern era to win the Super Bowl.
Deion sanders is the greatest nfl player of all time not brady. Hes the QB GOAT.
He is playing to the team’s strengths. New receivers next year length of pass will start rising.
Most talented QB ever. But Brady is the GOAT and it's not even close to being close.
People dont like him cuz hes steph curry just came outta no where n started dominating
Mahomes has that Brady/Montana quality to him. No Matter what he does he always wins
To be faur, Brady used Sprint right option a lot more before 2008. He used it inntwo Super Bowls.
That wasp route is crazy
I’m a bengals fan and I even know Patrick Mahomes is the nfl goat.
Kermit Tom Brady😂
Usually NFL film is irrelevant to high school ball and should be ignored but I think all high school quarterbacks should watch film of Brady throwing nothing but incompletions. His mastery of legal intentional grounding is unprecedented.
People understand that Mahomes *fundamentally changed the way NFL defenses play*? Right? You think he wants to throw short!? LOL. Look at the highlights from 2018-2020. Defenses are playing KC like Mahomes is a regular QB. He isn't.
By design. It's all by design. The league got rope-a-doped Muhammad Ali style by Andy's Chiefs.
What happens when you play with mediocre talent.
That's but of Alex to say Mahomes might win his third ring next Sunday given his Niners loyalty
i know no one will tell you this but
using green for route arrows is not ideal since the field is green
the nfls greatest player of all time is jerry rice
Fully inflated balls travel less 😂. Deflatgate. Cheaters win more SB's.
I said to myself there are going to be some dummies that say something like Purdy does this same thing but everyone goes crazy when Patrick does it🤣😂 yall need to exceed that surface level thought process on sports that yall have and pay attention to context and nuance man. that half ass evaluation is disgusting 🤮
Dude. Why are you talking about Purdy? This video is about Mahomes. Purdy has been great this year. Anyone who isn’t retarded knows this.
