Mahomes had two deep passes, otherwise it was a lot of YAC. Yes a lot of quarterbacks would look good to great on the team, I already gave you a list. Though it was funny, one of the commentators did call Mahomes a gunslinger like Favre. But the offense looked good, it definitely looked like their playbook was more opened up with Brown there, and they were able to get the deep passes connection. And I agree, Chiefs definitely sitting everyone and at most playing a drive or two. Even with their backups I think they have a chance against the Broncos who haven’t been playing well as of late too.
Do you have any evidence that the list of QBs you provided would be great on the Chiefs? I think it's pure speculation & conjecture on your part. Besides, some of the QBs on your list have played with great defenses & offensive talent and they're not winning SBs, let alone even getting to the SB.
Take Jackson, who just broke Vick's rushing record & is now the best dual-threat QB in the history of the game, had some really great defenses. The two years that he was
MVP, he had a top-tier defense. Last year the defense was
#1 in points per game, sacks & takeaways. #1 seed last year but stall in championship game losing to the "game manager." Lol In 2019, the defense was
#3 in points per game & top 5 in sacks & takeaways, but again lose in the championship game. Jackson is only
2-4 with no SB appearances - why is that Shadow? Great defenses, offensive talent - WTH is going on here?
Allen hasn't had any great defenses like Jackson, but he's had some very good offensive talent. However, I clearly put him in the Mahomes category -
an incredibly talented passer & playmaker (as I said before, Allen is basically a TE that can throw the snot out of the ball). And factor in his running ability, he's a serious dual-threat. But he's only 5-5 in the playoffs with no SB appearances (hopefully that can change soon). Stafford has won a SB while both Hurts & Burrow have played in one - though all 3 have different styles of play. Stafford is a
gunslinger throwing for several 4000 + & one
5000 yd seasons Burrow also looks to be a slinger & playmaker and would benefit from a better D. But that's on the stupid coach to not have figured that out earlier & do something about it. Lol. Hurts is a dual-threat RPO with identical style of play to Jackson (he would not fit into Reid's offense). All in all, these guys are already somewhat successful with plenty of upside left especially with Burrow & Hurts (Hurts is 5-5 & Burrow 5-2 in the postseason).
Your other guys mentioned; Goff, Love, Stroud, Tua, Lawrence & Herbert: All these guys have made the playoffs with most winning a playoff game - so there's a degree of success there with plenty of upside -
if they can stay healthy. How much better they would be on Reid's club is a guess. I'm not convinced of their playmaking ability compared to Mahomes or Allen. And Tua, Lawrence & Herbert are starting to have their careers derailed by injuries (I think the new standard with most owners is just make & win a playoff game every season keeping your franchise QB
healthy).
What I'm emphasizing with Mahomes is not just his superior arm talent but his
playmaking ability. There's not a coach on planet that wouldn't take a playmaker at QB over anything else. Here's the "game manager" making another incredible play in the game yesterday. Lol
