I will admit going to OT against Mahomes in the Super Bowl is respectable too. When Carr does that, call me back. But alas even if the Super Bowl was the absolute only thing that mattered, your argument doesn't hold water, because I also pointed out a team that rebuilt and won the Super Bowl.

Ultimately to me the Super Bowl is the goal. But when you get to the conference championship or super bowl and play respectably, it does mean you are close, its a good thing. Having a .500-ish or barely winning record and maybe sneaking into the playoffs and getting trounced means little to me.

You admit that not every team can have a Patrick Mahomes, but you ignore the fact that the last teams to win it all without a Patrick Mahomes did so by not settling for an 'average' qb (Rams dumping Goff) and going under the cap to build a financial war chest before going all-in (Bucs with Brady). One could also argue that the Bucs didn't settle for an 'average' QB when they let Winston walk. Yet you think we can win it all by settling for an average qb and spending the same cash every year because we never save a dime to double it up the next year?
