I think maybe we're inching closer to some grudging consensus.
Yes, Reid does. And I think Mahomes his fine hearing it. Because that's Andy Reid. That's his coaching mentor. That's the guy that brought him into the league and 'raised him up' as an NFL player.
But is the next guy going to get that kind of acceptance from Patrick?
If you figure that there will be, what, 4 'phases' of Patricks career, we're probably at the beginning of the 2nd phase. And it's not phase 1 (obviously) or even 2 that worry me even a little bit.
It's phase 3 where the wheels could wobble. After he hasn't had Kelce around or after Reid's moved on.
Might absolutely be ghost hunting on my part - I'll accept that. As a friend of mine says "it's borrowing worry" -- that's not wrong.
But I really really REALLY like this dude and I really really REALLY dislike Rodgers. And I think 10 years ago you have Packers fans in the same spot we're in now. And I hate to think of being in the same spot THEY are now w/r/t Rodgers (because I know a couple and they loathe the guy). And I will always maintain that it was the insulation from criticism that really sent Rodgers down this path.
