I drafted Brady. My jinx is slowly starting to work. We’ll find out on Sunday.

I also drafted Joe Burrow. RIP Tom Brady.
Nice. I'm definitely drafting Lamar Jackson with my first pick next year and Josh Jacobs with my second. That should end their 2021 seasons if not their entire careers. [Reply]

Won't happen. Pittsburgh's one trick pony (quick passes) are enough to beat Washington. And Smith has no mobility. Which isn't a winning formula when playing the Steelers. [Reply]
ok so the 'Alex was great posters' coming out posters - revisionism at best. Sure if you are a franchise on your knees - ok we were when he arrived - and you want to get wins on the board - he will do that.
But lets not forget the fans forced a change at quarterback and that Mahomes was (possibly intentionally) drafted as the antidote to Alex's very obvious weakensess (propensity to checkdown, unable to lead the team from behind or score in a hurry)
If anything drafting Alex showed us what we 'dont' want from a QB, hence Mahomes. [Reply]

Please point me to anyone who is saying that Alex was great (at football). He's a great guy. He was good enough to drag the Chiefs out of the depths of despair. And we're all glad to have Mahomes instead. [Reply]
