It made this place toxic all season.

I get it, and you are not totally incorrect but, there definitely some who went over board with it, even to the point of saying that Patrick got paid and was mailing it in now.

Unfortunately, yet typical of CP, the more level headed “cautionary tales” get lumped in with the extremists.

Yeah, I'd agree with this. Baby Lee is a good dude, even if I will needle him from time to time about his assessments on things.

But his posts were way different than the "Patrick has mailed it in since getting 500m" or "Patrick has mailed it in since becoming a Dad" or "Is Patrick an NFL QB?" that became all too common around here (and will likely surface again).

There is a difference between pointing out issues and “the world is ending” takes. BL definitely falls into the former category. But CP is gonna CP.

Appreciate the vouch, but also should add for posterity and for all to see and know. When you say way different, it's as in I never had serious criticism of Mahomes, even when he was having troubles. My beef has always been that everything around him, except Kelce and Tyreek, has depended utterly on him to drag them out of mediocrity.

I said before the season started that we're an 8-10 win team with a cheat code at QB. That dynamic never really shifted decisively all year. Even today, put even Burrow on this team all year and we don't even make it this far.
