You lose to Mahomes and you get zero blame for it. You beat Mahomes and you get far more credit than you deserve AND a place atop the NFL hierarchy for (checks Bengals history) at least 3 seasons.
It's silly.

Double standards for sure.
MVP Lamar in 2023: 65/100 QBR
"Bad" Mahomes in 2024: 68/100 QBR
Patrick has to win every game and even when he does that, people still find a way to talk shit about him. It's pathetic. But you know the same thing happened for years with Brady (3 MVP's) compared to Peyton Manning (5 MVP's) and Aaron Rodgers (4 MVP's). Everyone tried to prop up the other 2 guys. But when it was all said and done? 7 rings for Brady, 2 rings for Manning, 1 ring for Rodgers. And now everybody has to admit Brady was the best, the GOAT.
The hilarious thing is that Peyton Manning was absolutely carried by his defenses to win both of his rings, which is something many people have said about Brady during his career. Peyton threw 3 TD and 7 INT in the Playoff run when the Colts won the Super Bowl. His arm & neck were completely shot to hell when the phenomenal Denver defense carried him to a 2nd ring later on.
