As many of us have said for a couple years now - it's the ****ing Cover 2. It's nothing novel or interesting. It's no sort of panacea. It fell out of favor for a reason and in all likelihood it will go back to the dustbin of history in the next couple of seasons.

It's just too damn easy to attack underneath and up the middle. It puts too much effort into slowing down the lowest percentage plays while opening itself up to getting murdered by high percentage efforts.

But for one season Mahomes took a minute to adjust to it (and by 'one season' I mean about 6 games). So suddenly Fangio was some sort of genius.

Meh. Fangio's relevance is just another testament to the greatness of Mahomes. Beat Mahomes and you get talked about as the best QB in the NFL. Slow him down for a handful of games and suddenly you're getting consulting gigs. When merely losing gracefully to a guy gets you a job, it says more about the guy that beat you than it does about you.
