Dysfunction in the family and who likes to honestly admit and own dysfunctional behavior in the family? What is true and how bad is it ?? Truth is usually somewhere in the middle as arrwheader has stated IMHO.
IMHO the players especially are put in a difficult position because they want to tow the company line(support EB) yet raise the red flag(to support Pat) because EB does have a history and it's rearing it's ugly head again. IMHO Eric calling Mahomes a "competitive prick" was EB's way of saying Pat likes to change/audible away many of
my calls and this pisses me off". Also furthers the narrative that Mahomes makes EB, that he EB wants to get out from under Pat's shadow so EB needs total control for his EGO.
I am sure if this rift goes back as long as the article states, I assure there is a pissing contest between them among their egos that may be unspoken much of the time where both say to themselves after each game, (EB speaking)"Out of the total # of offensive plays today Pat only audibled out of 10% of them and that's a good day for me because he is learning I am in control". (Pat now speaking), "All my audibles today were big gainers and 3 scores and why he does not trust me more to audible because of what I see is beyond me". And the frustration leading to resentment grows from there in both resenting each other.
So owners see 2 things, EB's history of being temperamental (because everyone knows everyone and talks) and (2)who wouldn't be a successful OC if PM2 was your QB with Reid looking over your shoulder. EB is stuck between a rock and a hard place here because of his own immature behavior and NOT Andy or Pat because Pederson and Nagy got jobs.
What the Chiefs Brass do at this point in the next 24-48hrs with this alleged story out there will be very telling one way or the other. I don't think they can ignore it and will have to address it further because now the national press has a hold of it and now becomes a "prairie fire" for sure that will have them come knocking and asking the hard questions IMHO.
As far as the local radio media there of course they aren't going to break any stories that are negative. They want to retain their press passes and still be invited to all the luncheons, banquets, golf tournaments to rub shoulders.
But IMHO I believe there is some truth here, it's just how much ?? But something happened in that locker room for sure because that was a total Jekyl/Hyde switch in the 2nd half where Mahomes IMHO was intimidated NOT to make a mistake only to make more by either pressing or not pulling the trigger.
