Celtics were terrible the year before Larry Bird turned them around. Back injuries ruined Bird’s career at an early age. Good comparison for Bird might be Joe Montana, who also had his career shortened by back injuries. Not sure that type of injury situation will be the case with Mahomes, especially if the NFL keeps trending in the direction of flag football for QB’s.
The game for all current QB’s is much softer right now than it was for Montana, but it seems like they are going to keep trending even softer on the QB protection rules. NFL owners want to protect their big money investments, especially now that the QB market is above $200 million fully guaranteed thanks to Cleveland Browns & Deshaun Watson. The QB guaranteed money will keep skyrocketing, which puts more pressure on NFL owners to keep the QB’s protected by refs.
