However, he has never really faced any NFL adversity, let alone adversity over a few weeks- the guy just performed all year.
It is inevitable that he’ll have some type of struggle, choke away a game, or have a poor stretch where the blame is mostly on him. The media will lap that shit up, I can see the headlines now “Mahomes is regressing” etc. Then he makes the media eat shit.
Anyways,
My guess for this first adversarial moment is: we lose back to back games where Mahomes throws a few brutal picks and fumbles. One game is not his fault, but one game he “fumbles it away like Jamaal against the Broncos”.
What do you think? If your answer is “never”, you might not be wrong. [Reply]
The guy lost his starting rb to suspension. Tyreek got hurt last year. Half of his OL last year were backups because of constant injury. Every time he built a commanding lead, his defense blew it for him. Including three times on national TV where every dumb critic somehow asked if he wasn't clutch. In the second half, defenses started to adjust to him somewhat and he had to battle them with half his starting roster and a defense that was the most frustratingly bad in the league. Then he goes to an afc championship game, bellichick frustrates him, he bounces back with a great second half only to have his defense blow it again. There were rumors that he was cursing and screaming in the locker room pissed off about the Patriots loss. Pat has bounced back multiple times. You just wouldn't know it because his bouncebacks were surrounded by repeated failure from his defense
Of course he will face worse adversity in his career. He's also seen a lot of it already. [Reply]
The first time he'll have to hold three Lombardi trophies with two hands?
J/K
I mean it's pretty standard...he's already faced some, there could be health issues from time to time (nobody escapes that), cap issues when they have to pay him, a new head coach down the road, but nothing that other great QB's haven't dealt with.

Not worried.
He’ll wrap his enormous dick around the third trophy like an elephant with its trunk!!!! [Reply]

Was that ever confirmed? Seems way out of character. [Reply]

I don't know that it's ever been confirmed. But when the rumors came out, it didn't sound like he was whining or throwing anyone under the bus. Just a competitive guy who thinks losing is unacceptable. [Reply]
