While I agree with this. Things have changed with how QBs are paid. Those are some of the elite of the elite outside of Baker and Goff. As good as Baker and Goff are playing, I don’t want to pay them 50+ mil a season when they can’t carry a team. I think CJ falls into that category. Dak, Baker, Goff level QB that needs help around him to win. Hard to do that with QB salaries now

Watching the Chiefs game last night I paid attention to Patrick`s demeanor on the field and the sideline, the dude has ice water in his veins. The look on his face said it all, "I got this boys", and just made play after play, on the sidelines he was firing up his team and huddling up with his teammates. IMO that's where CJ has to grow into, I can see a little growth but the command that guys like Mahomes, Stafford, Allen, they all have that KILLER mentality and they are the undisputed leader. CJ has a quiet demeanor, and I hope he grows into this because that's what it takes. He can Thanks the Lord all he wants and I`m cool with that, but when you get between the lines, you have to want to put your foot on their throat and not let up
That was nice, this Sunday is make or break...........I am going into Sunday with all the confidence in 7 but won't be shocked if their D line kicks our O Line up and down the field. Win this game and it's on, lose this game and its season over, they may still be mathematically in it, but if we can't beat the "good" teams what does it matter
Prolly depends on a lot of factors, but.... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2025/passing.htm#passing::pass_long CJ is 24
Was Channing Crowder or someone else, said that with greatness you can't be all there in the head, some irrational crazy to it. And said thats what Mahomes is, "not really all there" in a good way lol Like a level different than cockiness. Not the Johnny Manziel thing with reckless distraction. But like a Larry Bird "built different" focus & competitive drive. Don't think CJ necessarily has to be all brash. Joe Montana rightfully earned the Joe Cool nickname for being composed & collected. But Montana was maybe a "not all there" jock brain maybe TOO cool & confident past sensible level. Which is a settling factor on the team. CJ needs to find his zone of where that is
I'm sorry, but I haven't seen any growth in this area at all. When things go bad he pouts like a child on the sideline.
I absolutely hate when he looks dejected and you just don't see that from guys like Mahomes, in fact you see the opposite...........look at the Ravens last night, the Ravens absolutely suck without Lamar, get him back and he lights it up, he CARRIES that team and if I am being honest with myself, I am not sure CJ is that level of QB, Lamar makes $52 Mill AAV and were about to pay CJ.................I am not comfortable paying CJ that kind of $$ but the position is so overpaid I am not sure what his worth is, I think they need to ride out through year 5 at this point and if he gets there great, but I don't want to handcuff the organization to overpay and then be stuck with a mediocre QB...............don't get me wrong, I love CJ but let's be realistic on the upside
Mahomes looked dejected in the superbowl with the same pressure etc that CJ has dealt with for two years. We have to really stop with this weird ass narrative.
