Chiefs were the best team in the AFC, they also beat the Ravens in the regular season. 49ers are clearly the best of the NFC.
I guess I'm rooting for KC because Andy Reid deserves a Super Bowl title for his career but wouldn't mind if SF won it.

(31,848 posts)and he got his ass kicked.
Mobility, just like arm strength, does not make a QB "better" or more "dangerous."

(6,136 posts)not only he is mobile but he is also deadly accurate throwing on the run.
Very few QB's can claim that talent. Mahomes has similar talent.
49er's won because of running game, not their QB. Green Bay was fooled by the trick play runs.
KC has better defense against run. Nevertheless it should be a good game, and my dollar is on KC.

(31,848 posts)Only Cincinnati, Washington, Cleveland, Carolina, Jacksonville and Miami had worse numbers. Pretty bad company.
49ers will play keep-away from Mahomes.

(26,773 posts)Yeah, I know it's a decade or two too soon to say that, but I don't think any QB in his first two years as a starter has come anywhere near to what this young man has accomplished.
Fifty years from now people will still be speaking in awe about him. And we are now all at the very beginning. Cherish it.

(6,136 posts)Russell Wilson. But Mahomes does have the potential.
PoindexterOglethorpe
(26,773 posts)I think he is going to be a quarterback of legend.
This is the very beginning of his career and he's already set a bunch of records, ones that other players didn't set until many more years into their careers.
