I just found it humorous the discussion on who was elite , and who wasn’t. Reason I even mentioned Mahomes .

I’ve watched a lot of QB’s since I got interested in football , around the late 60’s . Can’t say I’ve enjoyed watching any QB play more than I have Mahomes.

I wasn’t even a Chiefs fan until Mahomes , and Reid .
Honestly, I'm always torn on that one...he very well could be the best I've ever seen and seems like a good dude. I like Reid and I like Kelce and it really cracks me up all of the fans who are in an uproar because they show Taylor Swift from time to time...

But then the inner Bronco fan in be struggles with rooting for the Chiefs...always will.

Well you are better man than me . I’m not saying who my team is , and has been since nearly the late 60’s . A hint same division as the Chiefs , Broncos , and Chargers. :) There was never a team I hated more than the Chiefs until the Mahomes , Reid era .

Somehow you failed to mention Purdy at 3-1, and his only "loss" came when he played less than a series.

Purdy was not mentioned in the original post about "elite", in fact he was excluded by the poster ( #3,521). Not sure I would make an "elite" judgement after less than 1.5 seasons and 4 playoff games.

Go Chiefs

Okay, so my comment was trying to poke fun at a previous comment from the week before that said 7 elite QBs and Brock Purdy. That comment did not spark a firestorm like mine did. I don't think you can judge one person's eliteness on playoff records alone on teams with 53 man rosters. Elway lost twice as many superbowls than he won. Tarkenton never won one and the teams suffered for years with no heat on the sidelines. Then there's Jim Kelly... Hard to argue that any of those were not considered elite in their day.

It's like porn, you know it when you see it.

Couldn't agree more (or Marino). Like I said, SB alone does not make you "elite", it's the full body of work.

Go Chiefs!!!

Fun fact, Mahomes had a 3-1 record and zero SB wins after his first 4 playoff games...same as Purdy...sooooo...🤷‍♂️. I'm just sayin'





Purdy = elite = TBD

... right, and he wasn't considered elite at that point. A franchise qb, yes, elite, no. It takes a body of work, Just sayin' (Again) ;)

Go Chiefs

Gentlemen, gentlemen. You all know I love discussing Brock Purdy, especially considering he’s one of four QBs actually still playing football. But let’s get real Brock Purdy IS NOT elite. Dime established that months ago.

Well and once the talking heads declare you not elite, there’s no going back.

One of my favorites for the week was a classic “moving of the goalposts.” Everyone is complaining that he can’t be good until he has his first come from behind win. But then Keyshawn (sp?) Johnson waxed poetic that it wasn’t a good enough come back or a real come from behind win because they weren’t down double digits. This is an exact representation of what Uncle Sherm’s face looked like during that 🧐 .

When I first saw Mahomes play I knew it was gonna be a long time before the Broncos became relevant.
sadly, me too.

This must be how the entire AFC East felt like for 20 years of TB12

Turns out, for less than the price of a new fly line, you can be elite !!!

Looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend.
I'm surprised Purdy could afford his with that putrid salary of his. Must've got the Chinese knockoff version
