Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

Honestly the Montana 49ers in the 1980’s probably should have won more than 4 rings. The Niners had a Top 2 or 3 scoring defense when teams like the Bears, Giants, & Redskins won the title in 1985, 1986, & 1987. Those teams had great defenses, but they did not have Montana or Jerry Rice on offense. [Reply]

this was after Joe got his dick knocked in the dirt there in the regular season
I stumbled on that video awhile back. Pretty damn impressive stuff from Joe Cool. As usual in Chicago, it was really damn cold but he didn’t seem to care at all. [Reply]

The 1990 Montana-led 49ers team should've won that year, which would've been the first three-peat in NFL history.
Montana and Rice said later in separate interviews that the grind of playing all those extra postseason games finally got to them and they lost their focus going into the 1990 season playoffs. [Reply]

Yep, they had the #2 scoring defense in 1990. Man I wish Mahomes could have a defense like that. [Reply]

These fellas do not know more than many of us do.
Many of those clowns know less. It's ridiculous to take anything they say seriously. [Reply]

Plus, the rules were different. Ronnie Lott couldn't be Ronnie Lott today. Ditto Charles Haley, etc.
I know the salary cap & free agency have massively changed the game. But Belichick managed to put together Top 3 defenses while drafting 30th or worse every year during the Patriots dynasty. Pretty remarkable what he was able to do in that regard with the salary cap & free agency limitations of the modern game. [Reply]
