This is the thing that of all the national pundits, really only Nick Wright seems to be calling out. GMFB did a whole Mahomes vs. Brady GOAT segment. Even as a huge Chiefs homer, bleh. It's not Mahomes this year. Mahomes' job Sunday was to make a few great plays, get a lead so Lamar and the Ravens would panic,
and then not make mistakes.
He was a game manager for most of that game. Which he's embraced because he just wants to win and doesn't give a crap about style points or his individual stats (which yes is a form of greatness).
Oh yeah, and make one more great play to seal it. This year, Mahomes is basically what Joe Montana was for the Chiefs. Just go out there, lean on the defense, make a few great plays, and don't choke in the big moments.
W/o our championship defense this year, even Mahomes couldn't have hero-balled that offense to the Super Bowl. But that's no fun for national pundit narratives.
