The premature coronation of RG Knee was significant. He had two gigantic corporate endorsements with Gatorade & Subway before he ever took a single NFL snap. I don't remember eventual Super Bowl champs like Brady, Flacco, Eli Manning, Mark Rypien, Phil Simms, Big Ben, Brees, etc) with gigantic, national endorsements before they took a single NFL snap (?)
Why is it that there is/was a strong, recurring, wishful rush to coronate RG Knee, Mahomes, Michael Vick, Kordell Stewart, Randall Cunningham, Mariota, Kaepernick as the next big, great game-changer. None of these guys win any Lombardis (?) Jaworski predicted Kap would be the greatest QB ever, after a single season.. In my opinion, we're seeing the same with Mahomes.
There is a trend of (bigoted, in my opinion) sports pundits & drunken, face-painted fans who want traditional (especially Caucasian) pocket passers to be displaced & replaced from the game.. bcuz they're supposedly not athletic enough for the contemporary NFL. But in the meantime, pocket passers keep winning Super Bowls. peace
