Eh, Chiefs are more likely to be vengeful than afraid...since they already lost last year. 😉
Because the "Jester stole his thorny crown". (quoting from American Pie)
Chiefs haven't looked "great" their last two games, and it's not like their season closer wasn't a meaningful game for them, unlike with say, Dallas, who could afford to suck like they did against WFT...
This dude has been looking like, well I was thinking about this earlier today (I promise!) then Romo kept bringing it up as well, but Burrow just reminds me of Manning so much. I was thinking about before the game and then into the 2nd quarter, then fricking Romo of all people started talk about the same points for about 5 minutes in the 4th Qrtr, haha. The way he runs 2x2 all the time and just adjusts so quickly at the line, gets the ball out, and just keeps moving.
Today, it's so clearly Mahomes, Allen, Burrow going forward, and I don't think it's so close with anyone else right now--Rogers could have his big "off year" maybe this year but then put in another 3-5? solid Favre-in-Minnesota years? I dunno, lol. but anyway even if Qaron does return next year, I think he won't be matching these guys and their teams, wherever the Big R stays/gos.
Burrow is the smarter, calculating, patient of the 3. He has the arm and the skills, but he thinks about the game differently than the freak minotaur rambler of Allen or Mahomes just magical fairy dust touch and misdirection and ability to deliver pain to you at any point on any play, no matter how broken it is, lol. That's just...nuts. And those guys are also brilliant at reading defenses, no doubt, but Burrow is clearly the bigger head of all of them. He thinks and sees the game more like Manning, which I always like.
