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]

To bad Houston, Hobospirit and Ford wasn’t directly in the path of that outrage. Gee, wonder why all 3 are gone now? You’re either on the PMII Express or you get left at the station. [Reply]

Semi already there and Pat needs to nip that narrative in the bud this season because the last thing he wants is a Peyton Manning rep of getting you a great season record with great individual stats but no championship always losing to Brady. [Reply]
I don't know about this. Belichick owned him in the first half of the AFC championship with a Super Bowl on the line. It doesn't get too much bigger than that.
A lot of first year starters would have collapsed, but he came out in the 2nd half and lit it up. [Reply]
