Here’s the deal, you can’t build a team with one player, as Tom Brady knows. Mahomes should make sure he doesn’t suck up all the money and that some of the money is used to have the best players around him.

I'm about to dump the Vikings after 52 years for that very reason... except they blew 84 million on a slightly better than average QB, who is not getting any better. The only great skill Cousins has, is not getting injured.

Good reply,

I thought the game (and the lead) depended on the ebb and flow of the offensive and defensive lines. They controlled the important parts of the game and at times let the 49’rs run game out of the bag, and at other times gave Mahomes enough time to find his receiver. It is always a team game, and I suspect both QB’s know this quite well.

I do wonder what would have happened if SF had tried to run more at the end, when they went to a passing game that was all but smothered by the rush from KC. Their coaches probably knew that their guys were all but finished by then.

Which makes my point that in this age of “Salary-cap Football” the Patriots most important asset was Gisel Bundschen. Brady could take just top-ten money among QB’s despite being the very best in the game. He could afford to. His wife was worth 4x what he was bringing home.
