I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

In an alternate universe in which Mahomes didn't exist, and we somehow got Burrow, you'd all be loving the kid. I really don't get it.
You're not lying at all, we'd all be Burrowheads if Mahomes never existed and we had him instead
I've been saying he has a certain aura about him, a certain something that kinda sets him apart since he first came on the scene... it almost reminded me of ours truly
But its reeeally starting to feel like he's running his mouth awful strong lately, liking the smell of his own shit... its a fine line between arrogant and confident, but Mahomes pulls it off sooo much better [Reply]

You let that team went 4 in a row. 2 that kept you from SB's on your home turf. :-) Go kick their ass into the dirt Kelce! Shpw them who still owns the Arrowhead turf.
Overemotional or too many breakfast bourbons? [Reply]

He's beginning to remind me of "Broadway Joe", who was very charismatic (to say the least), and was very "confident",,,he seemed to always back up the talk, so what can you say? Just tip your hat and go on,,,, [Reply]

Statistics say he waaaaay behind. 2 MVPs behind. 5 straight AFC Champ game appearances. A SB title behind. Bengals bragging about regular season victories by very small amounts is pathetic when you have won nothing ever. Chiefs play for rings now not bragging rights of the regular season. We beat the crap out of Brady 5 times in the regular season and does anyone think that's some big bragging right victory? [Reply]

Dude hasn’t won a damn thing, but thinks he’s king of shit mountain. All those weapons etc yet zero rings, zero MVPs. Patrick got (and probably still does, but I deleted my Twitter) so much shit. Win a real ring Mafraudo… anyone could win with those weapons… etc. yet Joey 1-4 against the Browns gets nothing but kudos, and praise. It’s ridiculous. Fuck that smug prick. Win an actual championship before you claim to be the man. [Reply]

You talking about the only quarterback in the HOF with more interceptions than TDs?? [Reply]
Burrow is great. He's confident, he's got some swagger. Nothing wrong with that.
No, he's not Mahomes, and isn't likely to catch Mahomes, but he will absolutely be a pain in the ass for the next decade plus as long as Cinci fields a team around him. Taylor's a damned good coach, though, so you'd think they'll stay a contender.
There are some punks on that team, no question, but I just don't see anything to hate about Burrow other than the fact that he was the benefactor of Mahomes' worst half of football since pee-wee league.
I don't even begrudge their 'underdog, nobody respects us' stuff; I mean, everyone picked the Bills, people called them frauds, and wrote them off after the slow start. I get it.
Let's just win this game, and all of that goes away. [Reply]

Yeah, I don’t think he’s a punk. I think he’s smug. He just needs to get taken down a peg and a little adversity should help do it. There was a point where we got way too cocky too. I think mahomes always stayed above the fray but we had a lot of our guys treating ourselves like the greatest show on turf. I don’t think it’s bad but I think the public has generally given him a free pass and aw shucks a bunch of comments many would consider arrogant. But in general I like the dude. Guys like mixon and apple… I don’t know, those guys just seem flat out unlikeable. [Reply]

Speaking for myself, I don't hate hate Joe Burrow. The issue that came up was whether Joe Burrow was cocky. I think he is. I think part of that is a function of the team behind him and how they've acted and communicated. And I think he's a figurehead who has done absolutely nothing to separate himself from that and if anything has very clearly played into it.
In a discussion of humility between him and Mahomes, there's no comparison in terms of how they comport themselves. That's all. Mahomes is flawless and Burrow is what you'd expect leading that team.
So you take a guy who edges on cocky representing a team that pushes in that direction and I definitely dislike Joe Burrow. I probably hate Chase. Apple is just a complete fucking clown.
