If You Don't Have Great A Great QB You Better Search Until You Find It

[McKDaddy]

As much as I love Mahomes and want to give him all the credit he deserves, it's too simplistic to say that the game was decided by the difference between he & Purdy.

Purdy played a really good game and did not lose the game. It was a game that was so close that a few plays determined the outcome. The punt that struck the 49er & was recoved by KC was quite possibly THE play that turned the game.

You could also argue that SF's injury woes aided their demise.

All in all, two really good teams who fought all the way.

Mahomes is fantastic but giving him all the credit is a bit lazy.

The Chiefs defense held a very good Niners offense to 19 points in the regulation. After giving up 10 points on the road to the Ravens.

Meanwhile, our defense keeps giving up 21 points in the first quarter of the playoffs. lol

Just like mahomes makes the offense great. Chris Jones makes the defense great. Pair him up with that line backer group they have and secondary and there's the winning formula. No big name edge player, just a dt that can push thr middle, corners that cover and everyone can tackle.

What’s easier to find?

A great QB or an outlier?

I'm not sure what you mean by outlier?

Let me be clear, I am all for trying to find the absolute stud QB. I'm simply saying you can accomplish the mission with one who is a tick below that if you get everything else right.

Are you suggesting we try the outlier route instead of the great QB route?

What do you thinks easier to find?

A great QB or an outlier?

At this point. I am trying to move Parsons to get Maye. Dak has a no trade so we have no shot at moving him to anyone with a high draft pick.

Drake Maye is going to be special.

3 of those 4 were high draft picks.

Great QBs are easier to find than outliers.

You're right. I overlooked that and it makes the point even more clear. The best chance to win the SB is with high draft pick QBs.

Special team failures played a big role in the outcome.

For anyone to suggest it's just the QB is to show they don't understand football.

Just got to get out from Dak one way or another. Bench him to make him waive the clause or bite the bullet and eat the cap hit by cutting him in June.

You can win the lottery too, but planning on winning the lottery is foolish.

Maybe Lance is that next great qb. Problem is that we most likely will never find out. I’m 100% for finding out this year. Staying the same is just running in a rut. Something new needs to happen.

The Chiefs and Mahomes won, and the 49ers and Purdy lost, because a punt hit a guy’s foot and a kicker missed a XP. The attempts to create narratives to fit people’s personal hobby horses are so, so tiresome.

The amazing thing about Mahomes is he now has two Super Bowls w/o Tyree Hill, one of the game's best WR. He is the definition of carrying a team on his back.

They traded away Hill despite Hill being one of the top 2-3 WRs in the NFL because they knew they couldn't have a top paid QB AND a Top paid WR. Turns out it was a smart move and a move they HAD to make.

Packers did the same thing that same offseason trading away Davonte Adams. Didn't work out so well for them in the short run.

Difference? Mahomes is better than Rodgers.

 

[rambo2]

And yet even on your list 3 of those 4 were first round picks. Foles was a 3rd.

Yet we have only drafted 1 QB in rounds 1-3 in over 30 years and none in the 1st.

Brilliant strategy Jerry, brilliant!

They have a first rounder on the team now.

It doesn’t matter how good of a roster you have around you.

It doesn’t matter how equal everything is.

It doesn’t matter who your coaches are.

In the modern day NFL if you don’t have great QB play you have nothing.

Purdy couldn’t have had a better roster around him, the same with a Jimmy G a few years ago. They both failed to the same man.

Mahomes has 3 playoff loses. Those are against Brady and Burrow.

*If you don't have Mahomes, you better search until you find him

Fixed the title for you.

 

[1942willys]

Those are outliers. The vast majority of SB QB winners were high draft picks.

Your attempt to use outliers to disprove the rule is ridiculous.

Blind I see
The contention is that you need a great QB to win the SB
I showed that is not true

21 points in the first quarter? The game against GB at the end of the first quarter the score was 7-0. At the end of the second quarter the score was 27 - 7. That's with 2 INT's one of which was a pick 6. So 16 points came off 2 turn overs that if it wasn't the case would have kept the score at 13 - 7 with the Cowboys getting the ball back to start the 3rd quarter.

 

[1942willys]

Fact is that Brady and Mahomes are THE OUTLIERS

True greatness is very rare

I think it's easier to find the outlier because almost every QB is an outlier. The problem is not recognizing the outlier for what he is and then straddling the team with a contract that he will never live up to. Dak is payed like a QB who is a difference maker. But let's face it, against the better competitions and better defenses he isn't a difference maker.

HOmmes didnt gift them 14 free points either.

Patrick Mahomes is one of a kind. If the plan is to go find the next Patrick Mahomes then be prepared for years of disappointment. Look at all the QBs drafting since 2000. There were 294 of them. Out of that group, only 10 have won a Super Bowl. Brady won 7 and Mahomes has now won 3. The concept is great. Go get a Patrick Mahomes and win Super Bowls. But 32 teams try this every year. It turns out there just aren't that many Bradys and Mahomes out there in the draft.

You can win the lottery too, but planning on winning the lottery is foolish.

But you have no chance if you don't buy the ticket.
