I have said this numerous times in the thread comparing Mahomes and Lamar Jackson.
We believe we have the best QB in the NFL, as do most people in and around the NFL.
This is the best time to be a Chiefs fan ever. But, because we have just been broken so many times by disappointment, our fan base has become so defensive and reactionary.
We no longer have to tear down other QBs to make us feel better about our QB. We think we have the best QB, and fortunately there are so many stats, and all-time milestones that back up our belief in Mahomes.
But other QBs can be good, too. Lamar Jackson led the NFL in TD passes last year, and people still wanted to bash him as only being a RB. But who cares? He seems incapable of coming from behind to win, and has proven himself incapable of winning in the playoffs.
No need to bash him. His play speaks for itself.
And it's the same thing with Watson and Allen, and soon to be Herbert, Burrow, Murray, etc. They can be good. If people want to claim they are better than Mahomes, so what?
In three years as a starter, he threw for 50/5000 and lost the AFC Championship Game on a ridiculous neutral zone infraction and a coin toss. Then took the Chiefs one and a half steps further the next year, and won the Super Bowl and was named Super Bowl MVP. And followed that up by leading the Chiefs to the best record in football, and the #1 overall seed in the AFC, which comes with the only bye in the playoffs.
Other QBs can be good. Fans, pundits, and sites like PFF can manipulate or create all sorts of stats to try and prove that there is a better QB than Mahomes. So what? Let them run their mouths, because our guy wins, and he wins when the games are under the bright lights, and he wins when the stakes are the highest.
Mahomes makes our arguments for us, so we should just stop trying to argue with other fan bases, and stop trying to tear down other QBs to make our arguments, and just enjoy every moment of victory, while all those other people make excuses.
