QB Purgatory (NFL Philosophy)
NOTICE: This article is roughly 4 years old, but the writer (Joe Bussell, @NFLosophy) reposted it today via Twitter because it remains just as relevant if not more. Especially for the Chiefs. Great little read.
Article: https://nflphilosophy.com/qb-purgatory/ I'll spoiler the article below and highlight some key points.
Spoiler!

The smart teams move up to get a franchise qb even when they are good, ala GB and Rogers. The Chiefs did this which honestly surprise me, but when you make a move like that, you get a franchise qb to develop while you have great players around him, it makes the process a lot easier

Same as it's been for over 20 years. No longer is defense and a running game good enough. Without a stud QB that can put a team on his back you are done. It's that simple 9 out of 10 years.

I think you people are ****ing stupid with all your bullshit fantasies.
We just watched our mediocre, purgatory QB kick the ass of Tennessee in the first half of playoffs... just as we watched the same mediocre, purgatory QB kick the ass of the Colts in 2013 playoffs. We then saw a HC do what he does... and playmaking pro receivers for KC.. do what they do. Figure the rest out. Get a clue. Or don't **** it doesn't matter anymore. Time for the new blood to step in and see what he's got.

Foles beat Ryan.
Keenum beat Brees. Bortles beat Roethlisberger And you can even argue Mariota beat Smith. It's a team game. People will realize it by week 5 when Mahomes isn't carrying the team on his back.

Which one of those guys is in the Super Bowl? The guy who did a franchise QB imitation for a week. Sure, it's a team game...and Nick Foles dropped tree-fitty and three touchdowns on dat ass.

A turd smoker like Alex Smith winning a Super Bowl? Or a guy with top end talent like Mahomes actually having a chance? I'll hang up and neg rep.

most fans in KC don't even realize they've been in purgatory for 30 years.

To sum up what I said before: Brady, Manning, Rodgers, Montana will carry a ****ing team to victory. Smith cannot do it. Coaching mistakes happen, hubris will happen, injuries happen, flukey ****ing TDs happen. Brady gets it done. He threw for 138 yards in the 4th quarter last week because it had to be done to win the ****ing game. He has had 53 game winning drives, 42 of which are from behind. Manning has 56/45. Alex Smith has 23/19. All of those include playoffs. Yes, our coaches will go full reerun, but a better QB overcomes that. The entire Chiefs team knows Smith won't win the game for them. Smith knows he won't. Watch his melancholy ass on the sideline in a close game and tell me that man inspires you to play through pain to win a game. Then watch Brady in a close game. It ****ing sucks for teams like the Chiefs. The fans know what is coming. As soon as Mariota threw a TD to himself every fan watching knew what was coming; a loss. There is no way in hell any of the QBs I listed lose that game if you kept everything else exactly the same. edit: To clarify: I do not disagree with your fair assessment of the Chiefs coaching staff. They are ****ing stupid 20% of the time, and usually when they can't afford to be stupid.

Yep. The current QB/coach combination exacerbates each other’s issues instead of balance them.
Reid needs a QB that cancels out his timely idiotic decisions. Alex multiplied the implications of said decisions. He’s just not built for Reid when it comes to crunch time. |

Maybe the young-gun with the golden arm can get that "NFL respect" (hype/favor)... we'll see. I do watch Brady. His receivers actually make great and critical catches for him. He doesn't get OL holding penalties to keep him down. He get the refs to back him even when he himself fails. Absolutely, he has confidence. Why wouldn't he? Good luck with Mahomes, bro. May the NFL deem him as a badly needed QBotF that they can also prop up.
