How is one team undefeated and the other is 3-4?

This only looks at stats and really poor at evaluating the facts of play on game day. It doesn’t tell you were interceptions gapped, it doesn’t tell you the field position of turnovers, it’s a biased view with an agenda that has been disproven multiple times on this site and with real fans that live in reality

What? That was by far the most circular answer to anything on this board.

Ok you’re speaking in riddles all I’ll say is the post has nothing to do with Dak or Mahomes. It was a roster building outlook.

So you believe Mahomes is having a good year? Guess maybe they traded for D Hop for insurance? Or maybe to give him help?

One organization has and continues to build and maintain a Championship Culture.

One organization's culture reeks.

I believe when it’s all done, Mahomes/Reid will be #1.

Nope. They'll be tied.

I keep seeing that graphic/stat sheet.
This just shows how little stats can reflect reality in some situations. Sometimes stats tell the story - sometimes they say nothing.


Dak and Mahomes are in separate hemispheres.

Mahomes is making his case for Mt Rushmore - Dak is becoming the poster child for how to mismanage salary/the QB position (or how to achieve maximum dollars with minimum results.

Mahomes >>>>>> Dak in his sleep. Also, Roger Goodell adores the Chiefs while he absolutely despises the Cowboys, lol.

Hmmm, I wonder why Goodell would dislike the Cowboys.........Whaddya think Jerry?

In the close games Mahomes makes the game winning plays that Dak doesn’t. Kansas City does have the best defense, best coach, and front office but Mahomes is a better quarterback then Dak and it’s not close.

Not only all that, but Mahomes also lost several WRs this year.

Not only all that, but Mahomes also lost several WRs this year.

They've already lost WRs Hollywood Brown and Rice for the season and now Smith-Schuster went down, don't know for how long.
It's hard to play like nothing's wrong with multiple injuries, but they're still undefeated so far.

See QBR Difference? (Not that I’m even advocating for it but it does take more into account than passer rating)

Passer rating doesn’t tell nearly the whole story. A big pass that the receiver gets tackled at the one and is run in for a td the next play is almost the same real world value as a straight TD but passer rating doesn’t factor in stuff like that. Yards that lead to points in real life are valued more than yards that lead to punts. KC also has 10 rushing TDS which makes sense since it’s harder to scheme open WRs on a condensed field than with 70 yards of open field, remember KC is down heavily on receiving talent. Also Mahomes gets yards with his legs which is just as if not more valuable than with his arm.

Lastly even when stats are comparable you need to remember just how many of those yards, tds, and first downs generated by Dak are done in garbage time. I’ve seen at least three games this year where Dak finally started to move the ball only after they were down three scores.

Mahomes has some excuses, all of his WRs are gone and Kelce is old.

 

[SlammedZero]

When Mahomes' defense gives him a chance to drive the field to tie/win the game, he does it. He doesn't go 0-4 on 1st downs.

One is a winner and the other is not. One is not afraid to run, the other is. One has a great coach, the other does not. One is creative and has arm strength, the other does not. One is a champion, the other is not. One has a great defense, the other does not. One has a running game supporting him, and the other does not. We can go on and on.

They have the "Patriot" or "Yankees" effect now. Their culture feels like they have to win every game and it's a let down when they do. They take advantage of every wrong move and exploit everything.

They find ways to win even if they have been losing all game.

They found the right mixture of leadership, coaches, and talent and are very similar to the Patriots of 2010-2020 era.

As much as I hate the chiefs, it's impressive what they are doing.
