You never hear it about Mahomes having Reid, Brees has Payton, Brady had McDaniels etc. He only has 1 full year as a starter, but the double standard is ridiculous.
It really is.
Do we hear anything about Kyler Murray being a product of Kliff Kingsbury? They're already acting like he's got "zero help" like Wilson, and is destined to be a top 5 QB just because.
Sickening. When people want to hate, they put the blinders on and go all in.
Yeah Shanahan is awesome, but he won more with Brian Hoyer in Cleveland than he ever could with the Niners. The Browns actually won games with Hoyer in 2014 and went 7-9 even after losing him to injury (I'm guessing they were 7-4 at that point). That's about as good a record as the Browns have had pre-Baker Mayfield.
So Jimmy taking over a 1-10 team and ripping off 5 straight was all Kyle? GTFOH.
Then Jimmy the following year wins 1 out of 3 games (losing to the toughest teams on the schedule that year on the road), while the other QBs combined win 3 out of the next 13.....
When will this madness stop?
This level of criticism has probably exceeded Alex Smith's backhanded game manager compliments. He doesn't even "just win"....
