I’m beginning to suspect that quarter billion dollar contract for Russ may not have been the best idea

I believe you are a Cardinals fan yes? Be grateful for Russ's contract so that Kyler's isn't the worst QB contract in the league.

between the Russ contract, the picks they gave up and the in over his head HC, it's hard to think of a bigger tire fire in recent years. What a mess.

Anyway between Mahomes magic and Russ disasters, future hall of famer Brock Purdy is dealing.

Wow nice play by Surtain. This might become a game. Maybe Mahomes needs more shovel passes.

Eagles. But I have no hate for Mahomes tbh. Got me out of a deep hole in that SB against SF. Just I feel his consistent hero ball is playing with fire. Hes an incredible talent but come playoff time I have a hunch that #### wont fly so well.

Ah c’mon, you are objectively the most cynical fan of a great team that’s around here and I say that as a doom and gloom fan of a team that’s undefeated and in the college football playoff.

Forced throws are more what hero ball is. McKinnon is wide open there, it's just a very unorthodox throw, but how many times do we need to see him do that before it's almost not a risk? If not for a second half collapse last year and Dee Ford being offside in 2018 he would have made four straight Super Bowls. I'd say it's working out ok?

Purdy looking like a lock for NFC Offensive player of the week.

Trey Lance losing his job to Purdy and not Garoppolo would be something.

The entire league is full of ifs and buts thats an odd take to have. Games often come down to inches and split second decisions. If you look at Mahomes year last year he had his most INT and hes on pace to beat it again this year. Guess we can revisit it again later in the year and see who was right.

The Bucs just need to kick a field goal and they'll be just fine.

I do think this is the worst team that Mahomes has played on thus far. He does have a few too many turn overs and the two today have turned that game. But if not for him this Chiefs team is maybe 5-7 this year. Right now it's not a very good team around him.

Every team in the league, except maybe one or two, would love to have him as their QB. Syl just said it, but they are a .500 or worse team without him. He'll do some bad things, sure, but he'll also make plays that win them games that almost no other QB makes.

Wow, imagine if Mark Ingram would have got that first down on Monday...all 4 of those teams might be 5-8 after today. Absolute beat down by San Fran.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME with that play. Mahomes may have just secured the MVP on that play.

That play right there...that's why I live with the turn overs. Other guys get sacked or throw it away, or a pick. He made it into a Touch Down.

And it's not like it's 60% good and 40% bad with Mahomes, it's like 90/10 good to bad. You're gonna live with that when it wins you so many games.
