Whole lot of garbage in this thread, very few posts showing respect.

Ignorant comparisons to Dan Marino and Colin Kaepernick. Bizarre comment that Mahomes has zero in common with Russell Wilson, despite a ton of evidence that the two guys play the game in a pretty similar manner with rare off-platform abilities.
There was one comparison to Aaron Rodgers' speed/quickness. Mahomes is quite a bit quicker than Rodgers in the 20 yard shuttle and 3-cone drill. Mahomes and Russell Wilson are identical in these drills. Rodgers is also 36 years old with a ton of injury baggage, while Mahomes is 24 years old. It's a pretty damn flawed comparison if y'all are expecting broke down Aaron Rodgers in the form of Mahomes. Aaron is nowhere close to the player he was 5 years ago, 8 years ago, 10 years ago. Father Time is catching up to him. I just think there is a level of arrogance in some of these posts. Zero respect for what Mahomes is actually capable of.
Niners might win this game, but y'all will find out that Mahomes is a real fighter out there. He is not a pouter like Lamar Jackson, as someone in that thread seems to be claiming in the Marino comparison. He earned the respect of Belichick/Brady after numerous battles. I think he'll earn the respect of your fanbase after this game.
Just an interesting piece of trivia. For the last two years, Mahomes has won 55% of his games after trailing by 10 or more points. Rest of the NFL has won 14% of their games in this scenario. Two of Mahomes' losses in this scenario were against the GOAT coach and GOAT QB. Mahomes came back in both games and got the lead late in the 4th quarter. The good old crappy Chiefs defense choked away both games.
