Nah, that's just what the Andy Stans claim if you try to critique Andy in any way.
Basically, once Andy won a Superbowl, the Stans came out in droves. Some made apology threads to Andy, oh I'm sorry I ever doubted. The appreciation thread was made, and these Andy nuthuggers have seemingly erased from their memories tge very reasons that they were doubtful in the first place.
Many people didn't even want Reid to coach in KC, despite this narrative now that " Andy was always great, Andy always dragged slop to greatness!!"
It's just wierd to me.
That superbowl post season run, Andy really didn't do anything different than he ever has, besides trotting 15 out there to run the show.
Team came out flat and went down 24-0 against a brain dead Bill o brien Texans team. Mahomes makes his speech, puts the cape on a d drops 28 in a quarter, never looks back.
Down 10 to the Titans. Mahomes has arguably the greatest running play of his career at tge end of the half to take the lead.
Down 10 to the Niners, after a shitshow first half of Alexian playcalling, 3rd and forever Mahomes calls his shot with Wasp that turns the entire game. Quick tempo keeping SF guessing, Mahomes throws 2 tds to take the lead.
If Andy Reid did not have literally the greatest player that ever lived, the Chiefs don't win these games.
But they do, first superbowl in 50 years, and all of a sudden, Andy becomes this infallible legend, when in reality he's the same dude he's always been, he just had Superman land on his doorstep.
People don't Ike to admit that.
We get the yeah but Belichick, yeah but Walsh, yeah but my grandma.
Andy had a top 5 statistical passer in McNabb. He had a ferocious defense supporting him. He squandered 4 of the best rosters in Philadelphia history with mistakes from the sideline, but because McNabb isn't wearing a gold jacket, that's the crutch that the Stans cling to, absolving Andy of his Buffalo Bills lite failure.
Being 3rd in yards, 4th in tds, and second In playoff wins only to Tom Brady in that span with 9 to Bradys 14 just evaporates because no gold jacket? Sure.
McNabb wasn't Mahomes. That's why those teams lost.
I don't hate Andy Reid. I just recognize who he is.
He never gained some moment of clarity after a huge loss, he never changed his philosophy, shit even WITH the best player on the planet he still punts for 17 yards of field position. Lmao.
Game thread squeee about "Why aren't we running the ball?" It's like none of the people posting that understand who is calling the plays.
Patrick Mahomes should be the one to induct Andy into the Hall of Fame, because he's the reason he's going in as a champion, over being passed over because he won a lot of regular season games but flamed out religiously in post season.
