So let me get this straight,
there are 32 teams in the NFL, you mentioned two players and ones retired.
So the other 31 teams might as well just give up because they don't have Patrick Mahomes? Just about everything you said about Prescott can be said about just about every quarterback in the league who doesn't win the Super bowl in a given year and there aren't many of those and then if you're trying to tell me that Nick Foles, Trent dilfer, Brad Johnson, Flacco, and guys like even Eli Manning and others say Garoppolo and Goff who've been to Super Bowls because of their teams somehow are all in your Patrick Mahomes category because they made the Super bowl??
Are you forgetting this is a team game and we can look back at every single playoff game since 2016 and find a lot of other reasons that were not because Prescott couldn't handle the pressure. I don't get it, I watched the game it's kind of hard to play when you don't have a run game or a physical offensive line that can block or guys who are running routes wrong or the play calls are ridiculous and you don't have the best coaching you might want to add in that Mahomes and Brady also had Bill Belichick and Andy Reed and a bunch of other players around them.
No quarterback can win on his own in this league once you get into the playoffs, you have to have your team support, you want a good recent example, how about this Patrick mahomes was losing in the Super bowl at halftime, they could not seem to catch up when they were playing like they played most of the year and guess what they did Andy Reed makes halftime adjustments that come out and ran the damn ball down the throats, the Eagles defense kept allowing chunk yards by a bunch of spares RBBC and Kansas city's defense was able to shut down the Eagles run game and make them one-dimensional and guess what happens jalen hurts fumbles they can't seem to consistently maintain drives and they got beat they got beat. Patrick mahomes team, you know his coaches his run game, and his offensive line didn't give up one sack, that's why they won the game.
the team stepped up, the coaches made adjustments, and that's how it works, I agree Patrick mahomes is probably the best quarterback in the league but there aren't very many elite quarterbacks that you speak of so the other teams have to use players like Prescott that means a team has to be built well that goes for all teams then because if we're talking about one quarterback being truly elite that has an elite head coach who calls the plays at an elite level.
so again, the rest of the league are in the same situation we are trying to find a quarterback that if you give him the right players around them and they come in and play well, you win,
if not, you lose... I'm saying quarterbacks all last playoff series, some of the ones are supposed to be great have games where they have three or four turnovers, we've also seen quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford win a Super Bowl leading the league in turnovers and having two turnovers in the Super bowl , explain how Prescott can't do the same if the team backs him up much in the same way, establish defense ,establish the run game, make adjustments, call the right plays at the right moments and execute properly,
that's football...
