Who the heck is this guy? Patrick Mahomes the 6th best QB in the league?

I came across this article after listening to the local sports program where they were talking about Trevor Lawrence....

Sometimes you just wonder what people are thinking other than, " can I create clickbait" when they put up crap like this.

Post-draft NFL QB Power Rankings
1 Jayden Daniels
Washington Commanders QB
Recency bias? Sure. But you'd be hard-pressed to find an NFL team that wouldn't hurry to claim him as its quarterback of the present and future, contenders included. He was simply unflappable for much of his dynamic debut, which ended on the doorstep of the Super Bowl . A second-year dip is possible, but who says Daniels won't keep climbing with some added veteran help in D.C.?

2 Jalen Hurts
Philadelphia Eagles QB
He was frequently and often unfairly knocked for holding more of a background role during much of the Eagles ' Super Bowl run, but what more can you ask of this man when the lights shine brightest? His title campaign may have proved he's best suited as a selective rather than high-volume passer, but his instincts, toughness, downfield touch and rugged mobility all show up in the clutch.

3 Joe Burrow
Cincinnati Bengals QB
The Bengals are just 14-13 in his last two seasons of starts, so it's clear he can't do it all alone. Yet who else would you rather have for pure pocket passing? His poise and precision are dynamite.

4 Lamar Jackson
Baltimore Ravens QB
The playoff hurdles have yet to be fully cleared. That doesn't change the fact Jackson is a walking fireworks show, forever liable to change a game in a single play with his dual-threat electricity.

5 Josh Allen
Buffalo Bills QB
The reigning MVP is coming off his most efficient season while operating with a new-look receiving group. Like Lamar Jackson , another AFC superhero, he's just yet to escape the Chiefs ' shadow.

6 Patrick Mahomes
Kansas City Chiefs QB
Was Mahomes' ugly Super Bowl showing an anomaly, or clear evidence his increasing dependence on last-minute heroics isn't as sustainable as it once was for Kansas City? A healthier pass-catching corps should help, but his leaky O-line still has questions. There's no denying No. 15 is still the most trustworthy signal-caller in the game, but he's now proven vulnerable twice on the big stage.

[O.city]

Apparently it's better to lose in the divisional round to Josh allen or in the AFC champ game to Mahomes than lose in the SB.

Can't do that.

Take a quick look at the dude's profile pic, and that should tell you everything you need to know.

A literal clown in every sense of the word, probably has never even watched a pro football game.

The worst comic strip ever created was Zippy the Pinhead. It was never once clever or funny. I always wondered what Zippy did after it was finally flushed from circulation, and now we know. He's a sportswriter for CBS.

As a fellow newspaper comics reader as a kid, I am 100% with you on the Zippy thing. I remember commenting on it repeatedly and being in disbelief that it was able to be published at all. Like the guy writing it was on acid or something and didn't even know what humor was. At one point I ran into a kid at school who thought Zippy was hilarious. The kid was a complete dork who was also incapable of understanding humor or ever being funny, but I realized there are more people like him than you would think.

There was a handful of kids in my high school who claimed to like Zippy, and every single one of them without exception were kids who were trying to be seen as edgy and iconoclastic. They would claim that Zippy was deep in a way that most people couldn't understand. None of those people were bright or witty so that argument didn't fly at all. I think maybe Zippy survived as a comic because some syndicate buyer was the same non-bright wannabe cool person.

I made it a point to read the newspaper comics every day, and I kind of miss that. I would read every comic except maybe Mary Worth. (Seriously - a comic soap opera? Nope.). Zippy angered me because it offered no redeeming feature at all, but the drawing style would make me glance at it every day before immediately rejecting it.

Even Prince Valiant? That was an autoskip for me too.

We didn't have Zippy in the regular paper. There was an alternative free paper that came out once a month or so and it had Zippy along with strips like Life In Hell.

I read every single one. I'm actually angry there is a part of my brain being taken up by remembering the general storyline of Brenda Starr, Reporter.


Like, I know about Basil's amnesia. Why do I know that? Why do I know Brenda's daughter was named Starr Twinkle St. John

Why would I wonder if they're thinking anything else.... of course it's clickbait.
