I’ve already found out, that I’m either in the minority, or alone with saying that Kafka had little or nothing to do with Mahomes being great. Flame away
Some guys are just built different (physically and mentally). In my mind, coaching tends to get too much credit for success and failure in the league.
Right after being drafted, Peyton Manning practically locked himself in an apartment and started studying game film with Arians of all the opponents he would face in his first season. He wasn’t even under contract, so it was technically against league rules, but that guy was a pure competitor that had the talent to go along with it. Did Arians make Manning an elite QB, or was success his destiny?
Fast forward to this year, and you have rookie QB Jayden Daniels running the first team offense through practice drills on his own in training camp during breaks. Again, a pure competitor who wants to win, who also has elite QB skills. Did Kingsbury create Daniels, or was success almost inevitable?
Talent trumps coaching in the NFL, particularly at QB.
