I think Mahomes got the perfect coach to play for in Reid, and despite how good Mahomes has played, there's no telling what Garrett would have done with him or how Garrett would have coached him compared to Reid.
+1 Coaching matters more than some want to believe.......

A little history, KC went to the playoffs for three straight seasons before getting Mahomes in 2017 where he rode the bench with Alex Smith leading the way.

They went 11-5, 12-4, and 10-6.

They lost in the divisional round the first two years and WC round.

In 2017 they moved up from pick 27 to 10 with Buffalo.

The rest is history. They believed in him and went and got their guy.

The wrong Dallas billionaires own the Cowboys.

Good post.

Reid was just another guy that couldn’t get it done until Mahomes showed up.
You can put a brilliant QB on a really bad team and they wont win.

Look at Marino. You need to stop with this notion that QBs are the end all be all. Its a perfect storm of coaching, buying in, and culture.

The cowboys lack in all 3 and dont have a QB. So basically. They are screwed.

None of this matters. Garrett wouldnt have drafted him. He wasnt the RKG in his mind.

I refuse to downplay the importance of the QB position.

I’ve seen teams like the Bengals go from nothing to a Super Bowl after drafting a QB.

I’ve seen a team like the 49ers that has all those things you mentioned “culture, coaching, and buying in” lose because of weakness at the QB position.

The QB changes everything.

A good QB changes everything for a franchise because they make coaches look good, they build culture, and they make players buy in.

100 percent. We dont have that.

So you think Burrow was the reason? You dont think Chase had anything to do with it? QBs dont throw the ball to themselves. The QB position is the most important period. However Great QBs can still lose with bad teams around them.

Again.

Dan Marino.
