And it's not just stats either, I've seen enough for the eye test to tell me he'll never be elite or even great. But as Flacco showed us, league average can win you a SB with just one run.

You gotta remember he is still very young. In terms of best young QBs he's already surpassed Winston, Bortles, Taylor and Dak IMO and is on par with guys like Wentz,Geoff and Carr. He does have to improve his decision making tho and hopefully with a full offseason he can return to his form last season. Both him and Carr haven't been as good as last year and I think both missing basically the entire offseason contributed to that, it will be interesting to see how Wentz does next season.
The reffing the entire season in the NFL has been garbage and it continued in the Titans/Chiefs game. Mariota fumbled twice which thankfully the refs said he didnt and botched the call, they had a horrible spot which Mularky had to challenge, Kelce looked to have fumbled when he got hit but wasn't reviewed, there was a routine catch by the Chiefs that for some reason was reviewed, Henry was clearly down when he fumbled but the refs let the play continue. This is a billion dollar league and you can't find competent refs for a playoff game?
