Ive tried to explain that point to him... he doesnt seem to get it.If you won a SB, you're clearly good enough to win a SB.....or aren't you?

How good is the chiefs running game if you remove all of Mahomes scrambling yards? How good is that Chiefs defense? Looks like Mahomes overcomes both pretty well.
It doesn't matter. He was good enough to not give the game away, and allow the players around him to carry him to a win. He may not be a great QB, but the fact that his team won a SB while he was under center, by definition means he was good enough. It may seem like semantics, but it really isn't. He didn't blow the game, therefore he was good enough. Are there a lot of QBs who are better? Probably, but until they play in a SB, we'll never know if they can handle the pressure.Not if you were carried there by your defense as was the case with Dilfer and Brad Johnson. Foles got lucky and became hot during the playoffs. He’s not that good and they found that out in Jacksonville.
we cant pay dak 34-40mil because he isnt Mahomes ..

Garoppolo's contract ranks 8th right now. He will most likely be around 12 or 13 when the season starts, if not at 15. Brady, Brees and Rivers are up and Mahomes and Watson will probably get new deals instead of waiting for this to just keep climbing.Yep, that's true. Rams made it to the Super Bowl last year on scheme. 49ers are getting there by scheme this year as well, and a good defense. The NFL will come around and bring them back to earth next year. Garrapolo will have to earn that big contract for them to get there again.
This is hilarious. People are saying or acting like if your team doesn't have Mahomes than they don't have a real QB or a good one. Someone else pointed out that Mahomes didn't win the Super Bowl last year and this year the 49ers with Garappolo who only threw EIGHT pass in the entire NFC championship game could beat Mahomes and the chiefs. A QB in a NFC championship game only threw 8 passes completing 6 or 75% of his passes and scored 37 points.
Maybe it's time to stop thinking that the QB is the thing that determines whether a team wins or loses and start to realize it's the entire team.

It's going to be mostly an even playing field because every team without some stud QB on a first year will pay and pay more than they could have ever imagined just 5 years ago. Romo signed his deal in 2013 and in 7 or 8 shorts years, the QB's pay will double. In that time, the cap has only increased by 50%.
The owners have no one to blame but themselves, they created this with their rules and acquiescing to salary demands for QB's.
This is great. Collin hit it on the head. He says that half the teams in the league are trying to convince themselves that their QB is good enough. The bears...... yep. Remember the chiefs with Smith? The would say he is good enough... and as Colin said... no he isnt.
And here we are trying to convince ourselves Dak is good enough. Did you watch Mahomes? Sad part is what else do you do?
Then why does Dak want 35 million dollars a season?
Exactly!!
I wasn’t trying to attack you and sorry if it came out that way. Your right Mahomes is playing on a different level than most qbs in the league. I love how he just flick his wrist and the ball goes 60 yards on target. He is very exciting to watch.Totally agree with you. I'm simply talking about his level of play at this point time. It's a level that very few have ever reached for a 2 stretch season. Of course, he'll need longevity.
Power of leadership:
#1. Good players can’t overcome bad coaching. -- Bill Belichick
The above quote is one of his most challenging. Team performance is leadership’s responsibility. No excuses allowed.
Leaders who take 100% responsibility for the team:
- Deal with under performers quickly.
- Expect team members to support each other.
- Bring tough issues into the light.
- Measure what matters and display it publicly.
- Find roles where team members leverage their strengths for success.
- Own failure and honor success.
- Listen deeply.
not meWe aren't going to pay Dak in that range because we expect him to be Mahomes but because it's the standard rate of a good enough quarterback.
Fans expect to buy a Mahomes for that money, but teams, while they would love to get a Mahomes, expect at best a Russell Wilson and at worst a Carson Wentz or Jared Goff.
Dak is in that range, and if we pay him closer to what Wilson received than what Wentz and Goff received, it will be because the price of doing business continues to go up with the cap.

Yes he is very good and like you said he has only been in the league for 2 years. Hopefully he can stay healthy. There have been a lot good athletes whose career have been cut short due to injuries. We will never know what they could have been.considering he is in his 2nd season as a starter... how many SBs should he have? lol..... make no mistake, he is great, we all know it. You can say well he hasnt proven it yet blah blah blha... but that is because he is young.
I remember watching Michael Jordan.... we all knew he was GREAT within his 1st two seasons.... but it took him 6 before he won anything. Didnt change the fact he was GREAT!
This^^^Mahomes is the standard for good enough? He is one of the greatest to ever play the position. You do not need a Patrick Mahomes to win - it simply helps tremendously. Banking on getting your hands on a Mahomes-type player is foolish. You're far more likely to find a different formula for winning than to find Patrick Mahomes.
