Agreed. All you have to do is put on the tape and watch last years title game. The Niners were going to win that till Mahomes took over the game and broke the defense with his legs. I just.... Dont think Tue's body can hold up as well as Hahomes has. I so wish he was about 6 inches taller with a slightly larger frame.
Seriously. If we win the next two we still have like a 60% chance to make the playoffs. If we lost to GB it basically doesn’t change.
You don’t consider the lack of a skilled backup QB relevant?
This season is definitely on McD for hiding a QB on the roster for three years who’s afraid to throw the football
It was definitely a mistake... But assuming that any other alternative would've fared much better isn't really realistic... Bottom line, backup QBs overall win around 1 out of 3 games, is what it is...
I’d like to think a backup who’s not afraid to pass the actual ball would’ve squeezed out a win or two with the speed guys on this offense
Speed guys probably aren't easier to hit to be honest.
The reason I want the height and weight isn't arm strength, its durability. You never saw Rothlesburger get picked up and body slammed the way Tua does. Your right, 6ft 7 is unusual, but 6ft 4 to 6ft 6 isnt. Most of those guys also just have a larger frame than Tue does though.
The SB is the perfect example. Game was there multiple times for the 69ers and Purdy just couldn’t make a play. The drive that stalled down near the goal line where he was pressured and threw an errant ball is another good example. Mahomes likely slips away and completes it. Then as you say, Mahomes put the team on his back and won the game w his legs. I wish Tua was more durable too. Still, it’s really good to see him making the offscript plays - they are back breakers.
