Purdy is a good qb
But Patrick is a amazing qb
Pretty is ok but he is no Pat.
Mahomes is great but a little overrated in terms of being untouchable. Somebody tell me why his Stats are trash if he's so great? Like he's not where near top-tier statistically the past 2 yrs. Winning is a team stat btw. That's why the Vikings are good, it's not Darnold is so good.
Mina Mina Mina, why u still here?
Cut it tf out😂
Its gon be a close/good game the refs gon male sure of that. But I got my Niners coming out victorious. 💯
My thoughts:
This segment is part of ESPN’s new content strategy as they shift away from viewer ratings on cable and focus on (flawed) social media engagement numbers. Panelists are required to give hot takes with numbers and stats which argue in opposition of the clear and obvious answer.
For instance, SAS only focuses on Lakers, Cowboys, and other high profile ppl/teams topics for viewer engagement. Whether good or bad, this strategy has been applied everywhere. ESPN isn’t making these shows to produce good tv but more so good clips for social media. There is probably much more to it but it’s a bunch I have. If you doubt me look up the Pat McAfee show from the summer of 2023 as he talks about his meetings with ESPN heads and how his show is directly influential for strategy:
This is the most delulu chick ever !!! You take purdy over Mahomes ??? WHAT 😂😂😂GTFOOH
What a stupid segment!
Why they talking like we don’t have Kareem Hunt back and he’s playing like he never left?
Come on, y’all lol. No disrespect to Purdy, but he isn’t getting chosen over Mahomes. Yall could’ve at least gave Purdy a chance by asking who will have the better game this Sunday based off current stats. That would at least make for a more interesting and entertaining convo.
Mina sounds stupid. This segment is asinine. Mina is the only person who watches football who would take Purdy over Mahomes in any game. Stop it.
I want Andre Igoudala
This is more of a test for brock and offense going agaisnt the #8 defense. Mahomes is gonna mahomes and all they can go is slow him down to give Purdy a chance to get ahead
That's funny .. they start with the 40 whiners injuries but not bring up the 2 starting WR and RB missing from KC?
Purdy is having a better season, blah, blah, blah 5-0 vs 3-3 having already played the Ravens and Bengals.
So this is just a quick and random take I was thinking. I know we have freak athletes like Wendy, Greek Freak, and such. How do you think they would perform as Running back, Quarterback, or such?
Horrible topic…
U hear that couch quarterbacks, get ready for the big game
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Regular season doesn't matter look at it Lamar Jackson n josh Allen both beat mahomes in da regular season n wen it mattered mahomes won
Who comes up with these segments? Please fire them.
Can we keep this host
They cant get enough of his nuts in their mouth 😂😂
Until KC loses I’m picking them to win. Then after they lose… I’m picking them to win.
Females should not be talkin sports😂😂
Im a niner fan and even i'm like what are we doing here??? It's Mahomes then a big drop off to number 2
What a dumb question
Haters can cry refs, both teams are good but they got out couched..go coach Ried and the loud and proud CHIEFS
Patrick Mahomes is one of the 3 greatest QBs ever smack in the middle of his prime… what TF are we talking about
I feel like Patrick Mahomes is not chasing stats anymore he’s chasing history and that’s not always going to look pretty, especially when everyone treats you like their SB every week. Also, Juju torched the 49ers with the Chiefs in 2022 so he very well could have another good game, Reid always knows how to draw it up.
Slow news day.
Purdy is fooling y’all lol
Purdy lost cmc and still has 4 all pro weapons, top 3 rushing attack and shanhan system.
What other QB’s has two all pro weapons ? Purdy has 4 and 5 with cmc lol
Purdy can’t carry normal or avg NFL teams. He needs all pros to be productive
Purdy was awesome in that Super Bowl. That’s all I need to know.
What? Mahomes or purdy?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dumbest question ever in the history of our species
Gimme Mahomes and KC to win. They're the champs, they're unbeaten, and all but the win vs NO were by one possession. So they know how to win close games. Purdy is not the reason the 49ers lost the SB. Purdy may have a better game statistically but SF has been finding ways to lose close games. Lost to MN by 5, and lost to the Rams and AZ by a field goal in the final minute. They and DET are still the favorites to win the NFC. But they need to get it in high gear, as we near the halfway point of the season. And what better way to get started than by getting a little revenge on KC. But to be honest I don't see them winning this one
Mahomes is better no debate but why does he have mvp odds over purdy when he’s playing bad right now
I dont understand from what angle/s is mahomes #1 in mvp race. Im literally confused
Im taking brock purdy trust him more this season then Patrick mahomes. Purdy has the better team… idk how this is a discussion to be honest
Let's Go Chiefs Kingdom
mahomes has been trash this season…
