It’s glorious. They know how ****ed they are, even the ones who claim he isn’t that good.

Oh yeah - I work in rural Colorado, that is a feeling my co-workers have had since the Monday Night game last year. Before the game, I got a lot of trash talk that season - especially when I wore my Chiefs tie - first the **** talk was about Mahomes interceptions in the pre-season, then it was that he was in for an awakening against Denver’s defense, but after the left hand pass?
It was just complete praise and resignation. He got multiple Elway comparisons that day and a bunch of people were just in awe of how he played (even from opposing fans). Since then it’s been nothing but praise, I even got several texts and congratulations from co-workers this week. Some have a faint hope about Drew Lock developing into a solid starter, but most of them seem to be in that resigned state. The only trash talk my students could muster was that Mahomes “didn’t play that well” in the SB - to which I said, “wait which QB came back down from 10 in the Super Bowl?” But honestly, I’ve received overwhelming congratulations from my students this week, in fact. it’s been pretty amazing to see how many of my students have been sporting Chiefs gear and may have even got into the NFL following Patrick Mahomes. It is truly a new era.
