I hope Kubiak doesn't call games like Kyle

I mean every QB makes a play every now and then and it's magnified in a playoff game. So sure Purdy is going to occasionally make plays but he's an average mid-level QB. He's basically Cousins or Carr who also both occasionally make plays but not consistently enough to be upper level QBs. As far as Mahomes, he like every other QB, is somewhat a product of the system they are in, but he does have the ability to make plays outside of the plan that separates him. He didn't really do that tonight and hasn't a lot this year, but he's certainly shown he is capable of it and part of that this year was a decision by Reid to stop being so aggressive on offense and going for the big play when he had a very good defense.

You know Cousins played way better than Mahomes before being injured this season right? I don't know how many was really paying attention but Cousins was playing at an MVP level and the Vikings were finding their groove.

And saying Mahomes is somewhat a product of the system ignores what that system produced. Has he been the "best" in that system? Yep but I also believe that the 2017 Alex Smith led Chiefs with THIS defense makes a deep playoff run, as well. What really separates Mahomes is the fact that he runs around to avoid sacks and he makes highlight throws on occasion. The truth is, when playing in the structure of the offense (which is the vast majority of the time), he is dinking and dunking all over the place

Here is his pass chart from the AFC Championship

This has been par for the course since 2019...LOL. It's not a knock; it's just Andy Reid's system, and as I said, he is the best that played in it.
