I was talking to C3HIEF3S about this. Nick Bosa’s performance in the Super Bowl is the ultimate example as to why Darnold’s performance as a DT doesn’t top Mahomes as a QB.

There’s a legitimate argument that Nick Bosa had the most dominant game out of any player in the Super Bowl. He had 12 pressures (a Super Bowl record - topping Reggie White), a hit on Mahomes, a pass deflection, a forced fumble, and the sack that stopped our drive down 10-13 (No way Pat forces that throw on 3rd and 5 vs 3rd and 12). Bosa was a monster and generated pressure on over thirty percent of Pat's dropbacks, he arguably stopped two of our drives on his own, and only slowed down on Williams last TD after the Niners D was on the field for 70 plays (still think Andy sticking with the run was key to the Niners wearing down). Bosa also had Pat wrapped up and done on the drive the Chiefs were down 20-17 but Pat being Pat got out of it and hit Kelce for a first (that’s when Aikman said you could feel the momentum had entirely shifted) That kind of game from Bosa destroys Manning, Rodgers and Rivers from ever having a hope of competing. But not Pat. Bosa had a historically dominant day (likely ends up with 3-4 sacks against another QB/LT) but as C3HIEF3S said, it took Pat what, 5 minutes to overcome it anyway? It’s why it’s always going to be difficult to justify putting Darnold over Pat for that reason.
