2017 Draft:
*Mahomes went 10th in that draft.
...Myles Garrett went #1 overall to the Browns.
...Mitch Trubisky went #2 overall to the Bears. LOL, how many jobs were lost based on that selection?
...Christian McCaffrey went #8 to Carolina.
If re-drafted today, Mahomes would obviously go #1. Nobody would complain about Garrett's production. McCaffrey has had a good career for a RB, albeit with injury asterisks.
TJ Watt did go #30 in this draft. So, maybe that was the steal of the draft (on top of Mahomes).Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Not long ago, Desean Watson was considered a steal from this draft as well...2017 Draft:

I will put some more notes in here b4 kickoff. But I wanted to post one historical fact:
*Consider the 1960s Packers and the 1970s Steelers.
...They won a lot of championships. What happened when they got too old?
...The decline was not gradual. It was more like falling off a cliff.
...I know the Chef track record. People feel so comfortable backing them. Just saying.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Stat from the Lawrence SB Playbook:
That’s because the team with the most total yards in a Super Bowl
game is 43-15 SU. The team with the most rushing yards is 43-14
SU (the Patriots and the Falcons each rushed for 104 yards in Super
Bowl XLI).Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Philly hit the century mark in 19 of their 20 games on the
ground and is 10-2 SU and 9-3 ATS in games when it has the rushing
advantage. Conversely, KC was outrushed in 10 games this season.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
This nugget, per Andy Iskoe of The Logical Approach: Since 1990,
the Super Bowl team with the better regular season record is 11-14
SU, with 8 of the 32 Super Bowls since 1990 matching teams with
identical regular season records.
But the 25 Super Bowl teams with the better overall record are just
5-19-1 ATS (20%), including a jaw-dropping 5-13 SU and 1-17 ATS
since 2004. That, in itself, is mighty strong.

I'm saying that the drop-off is more sudden than people think. To your point, it might NOT be in this Super Bowl.
I've expressed my anti-Chef opinion. I think they're quite over-rated. Count up how many CLOSE wins they've had, and think about whether that's at least some bit of good fortune.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
magpie, just for clarity. No disrespect, I understand your perspective.
On this site opinions are expressed. When a team is having historic success, people tend to think that it will continue for some time. In the case of the Chefs I mentioned that their salary-cap is skewed very heavily toward Mahomes/Kelce/Jones.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Some more Chef notes:
*7th year of Mahomes starting.
...Fifth SB appearance for Mahomes. 3-1 SU so far. Lost to the Bucs.
...Two AFC losses: Loss vs NewEng when Jones was off-sides. Other loss was by 3 vs CIN/Burrow.
*My point (above) about the Chief longevity:
...Seven years of success is a long run.
...Chiefs trying to break history by winning a 3rd straight SB.
...Brady's success w/ New Eng was impressive. Not quite as concentrated in a limited # of years.
Good Luck to anyone in action on the game!Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment
