Coaching Matters and a Super star QB. See KC

[TheSport78]

Dallas always needs a disciplinarian HC to offset the country club nature of the Cowboys' organization. McCarthy is the right kind of coach for this organization; Zimmer is.

Watching Mahomes making side arm and off balance throws is such a breath of fresh air. Dak gets off balance on his throws and his ball skips off the Turf 5 yards from the WR.

how many QBs can make those kind of throws? there are only 2 elite QBs in the league right now. Mahomes is tops. mahomes is generational.

What was Andy with Alex Smith and Donovan McNabb? Incredible coach but couldn’t win the biggest game. Transcendat QB matters. See Brady and Mahomes

FYI, a study of n=2 has poor predictive ability.
Those were good games and he put together some damn good teams despite not having the "transcendat" Mahomes.

Mahome's is not mythological, just really good. And he has been given great knowledge and a system to flourish in.

KC has great coaching but they don’t see any of these Super Bowls without Mahomes. He’s the biggest difference maker at the QB position in decades. He completely took over the game in the second half.

He's basically Jordan in the 90s.

I know that parallel has been made ad nauseam, but it's the closest thing I can think of.

Dak didn't fold either.
He passed for 300 yards in that 2nd half.

Dallas defense and ST never even woke up. The defense allowed 6 TD in 7 drives.
A QB isn't overcoming that.
Pat is the GOAT and he wasn't near that production.

You guys seem incapable of seeing the painfully obvious.
I am the world biggest Mahomes fan and was BEFORE he was drafted.
I mocked every single person who believed Baker was better.
But he had at least 4 really poor throws in that SB. It was an AWFUL first half for him.
And his team fought and kept it tight and let him find the way through that tough defense.

The Cowboys defense only had 1 pass defensed and 1 tackle for loss the entire game.
The offense consistently started in awful field position and could never run the ball.
Dak gave you 45 yards rushing and 403 yards passing.
It was largely junk yardage because the defense allowed a TD every drive.
Not a FG or just yards but an actual TD.

Pass for 300 in the second half... They were playing their backups at that point lol.

He's basically Jordan in the 90s.

I know that parallel has been made ad nauseam, but it's the closest thing I can think of.

He's very good, no doubt, but there are 21 other positions on the team and coaches that are each very important to his success.
Marino was very good, but he did not have Montana's team and coaching to play with.

One of Mahomes' strengths is that he has ingested and internalized the knowledge and schemes that have been given to him and now has the ability to recognize what's happening on the field and execute the scheme, even while under significant pressure.
This along with a bunch of other players that know and execute their roles well, in the same schemes.
This doesn't just happen because of one man's individual talent.

The yankees have filled their roster with highly compensated top talent forever, but more often than not, they don't win championships.

Yea we just need to luck into a HOF coach and a GOAT tire QB

Coulda signed a HOF coach *this* year if Jerry chose to pay the price to get him.

That's the thing about coaching. No coaching salary cap. If you're the most valuable sports franchise in the world and you *don't* have great coaching, that's a *choice*.

Mahomes is so go at extending the play when you think he is about to get sacked. And he also knows how to throw the ball away instead of taking a sack.

So true. He trusts his D to keep them in the game

What was Andy with Alex Smith and Donovan McNabb? Incredible coach but couldn’t win the biggest game. Transcendat QB matters. See Brady and Mahomes

Both Mahomes and Brady are Awesome, but they also had the best coaching and best defenses.
They got plenty of help to help them win their Superbowls.

 

[Captain43Crash]

When you have a talented D coached by the best DC not named Belichick, you can trust your D. KC had that! Dallas did not. In almost every big game our D got exposed.

Pass for 300 in the second half... They were playing their backups at that point lol.

The guy has a point. Dak played bad in the 1st half, but he did not completely fold up in the 2nd half like the defense. The defense never made a play all game! Dak was bad. The defense was pathetic!

 

[Captain43Crash]

He’s a difference maker and without him they don’t win. SF outplayed KC in the first half and Mahomes took over in the second half.

Without Steve Spagnola and the best D in the NFL they don’t win either. The KC defense played a complete game! The KC offense with Mahomes played a good 2nd half.

 

[Captain43Crash]

What was Andy with Alex Smith and Donovan McNabb? Incredible coach but couldn’t win the biggest game. Transcendat QB matters. See Brady and Mahomes

The best DC and the best defense matter to. Don’t ever over look a great DC and great D.
Brady one more than a couple Superbowl with the best DC and the best D!
Mahomes just won the SuperBowl with the best DC and best D! Mahomes and his Offense only scored 3 points in the 1st half. The KC Defense kept them in the game.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Have people forgotten why their favorite teams are called "teams" in the first place?

Yes! Especially people that know nothing about coaching. Great coaches have the ability to put their players in position to make it easier for them to make plays. This is hard for many people, including X players who only knew their position, to understand.

Naw, let's forget that and just canonize him

yeah, the D is pretty lack luster. With DP's disappearing act in big games, we have no chance.
We don't even keep the other offense off the field, and the D just gets worse as the game goes on and they peter out.

There wasn’t anything that great about the Chiefs this season, which is why they were underdogs throughout the playoffs and Super Bowl. They’re just another good team without Mahomes. He’s the reason they’ve become a dynasty. Jerry thought he could win with any head coach because he had such a great team. He went on to win a Super Bowl with Barry Switzer with the same team.

You know nothing about coaching!

The Chiefs have the best Coordinators in football on both sides of the ball. Great coaching can make it easier for your players to make plays. SEE the last play of the Superbowl. No one even covered the KC receiver! That is play design, not great talent.

Mahomes has zero problem calling out his teammates when they make mistakes. Does it all the time. Dak has never done that. He us quite content with just being the QB of the Cowboys and getting everything that comes with it. Mahomes has talent, fire and passion. That's why he is already heading to Canton even if he never played another down in the nfl.

The first sentence: example of accountability and leadership. Two concepts that are missing from this team.
