I think that Kordell would have excelled in some of the more "modern"
offenses. He was at least 80% as good of a runner as Lamar Jackson, and a
much better passer IMHO.

This debate will never go away, but my stance has always been that a great
coach needs a great QB, and a great QB needs a great coach. But, if you
had to weigh which is MORE important, then the answer is the player. You
can have all the phenomenal schemes, plans and plays you want, but if your
players can't execute them, then it's all for naught. A great player can
make a play in spite of his coach, not so much the other way around.
I saw a graphic this morning comparing Mike Tomlin to Bill Cowher and how
similar their records are, but it pointed out that while Tomlin has never
had a losing season, Cowher had 3. Those years were 1998, 1999 and 2003.
Who were his QBs? Kordell Stewart, Mike Tomczak, Tommy Maddox. Tomlin has
had 1 HOF QB his entire career except for most of 2019.

I can’t stand Brady either, but I dislike Belichick even more. So, there
is a part of me that is happy that he is winning while the hoodie-led Pats
floundered. While I think that Belichick is (or at least was) a very good
coach, I always believed that Brady was the real reason why NE was so
dominant. And Belichick has been a terrible GM for quite some time, but
Brady’s performance made up for their team’s shortcomings.

Several observations from this weekend’s football:
- I can’t stand Tom Brady. I hope A-a-ron destroys them next weekend
and I am NOT looking forward to a Super Bowl gushfest over Brady making
another Super Bowl.
- I don’t know who will retire or not, but combined, future
Hall-of-Fame QBs Phillip Rivers and Drew Brees together brought their four
franchises fewer Super Bowl titles than Mr. Roethlisberger did. i.e., the
next time someone offers up the “we wasted the HoF QB we had, shoulda won
double-digit SBs, etc.” garbage, tell them that getting to and winning a
Super Bowl is hard. Very hard.
- Josh Allen is no longer just a big dude with a cannon of an arm. I
think we’re looking at a decade of Allen/Mahomes versus the rest of the AFC
for SB appearances because he has turned into a pretty dynamic player who
is growing in his ability to read defenses. But dude really does have a
cannon!
- I’m glad Cleveland lost, but man that almost-TD—turned-fumble,
that’s a gut-punch. #ErnestByner
- I don’t wish any player to get injured, so I do hope Mahomes is
cleared to play next weekend, as Chefs-Bills could be an epic matchup.
Must-see TV!
- My pick at this point is a Packers-Bills Super Bowl (regardless of
Mahomes’ health) with the Bills getting the SB monkey off their back.
