Yeah it's like, the guy was Mr. Irrelevant. He's already done better than anyone predicted or expected even if he just ends up with a middling career from here on. Which obviously I sincerely don't want to happen. But he gets such a double standard treatment. I don't think he deserves one of those giant contracts (although I don't think most QB's besides Mahomes do in the first place) but he's a solid QB.Sports journalists will do anything to justify their take on where a player belonged in the draft. Anything.
They don't want to see him succeed because he wasn't a consensus first/second round talent and that makes them look like the professional rubberneckers they are.
If Brady is anything to go by, when it comes to QBs in particular you pretty much have to have a MVP season after the rest of the roster surrounding you has totally cycled before they'll maybe admit you're a good QB on your own.
As much as I hate Mahomes the guy is amazing, and he deserves his accolades way more than Lamar does at least. It's really funny looking at Lamar's and Dak's contracts and then their playoffs records.
