I think the guard is changing slowly. Lots of older writers are clinging to brees for comfort. Because he's safe and familiar. Those same writers hate baker. And they think mahomes is too flashy. But we saw an interesting thing we haven't seen in years where the blowback on that was huge. Baker and mahomes have fans talking about football in ways they're not used to. And I think they're recognizing that the worst mahomes and baker story is a hell of a lot more interesting than rehashing another Brady brees story.

While Luck is older, it doesn't mean they won't have 10 years to cultivate a rivalry. Luck is as close to Manning in temperament that you can get right now. He is a "gee golly gosh" kind of person that absolutely loves football. He will never embarrass the Colts, the NFL, or himself. If he weren't uglier than Eli he would be on every ad possible. |

I thought about that too. Like how the NBA sneered when Lebron went to Cleveland, and decided to go back to CLE. But opposing fans hated Lebron because he felt really Hollywood. Lebron became immensely popular because he was so polarizing. Other teams fans are having fun watching our qbs. Baker fits the scrappy identity of Cleveland. Mahomes' likeability is a great fit for KC. I actually wonder if both of these qbs would be hated if they went to the wrong market. After all, I think the NFL in hindsight is overjoyed that Favre and rodgers landed in green Bay.

I don't think that matters, when you are dealing with stars. The NFL was not harmed by Rogers being in Green Bay or Manning being in Indy. People from all over will tune in to watch great QB play.

Styles make fights and you won't see a better contrast than Mahomes/Mayfield. Like you, I'm not sold on him or the Browns as an obvious dynastic presence, but if that kind of rivalry develops, that's where it's gonna have to come from, IMO. |

Mahomes-Luck makes sense
Luck was drafted in 2012. Could be a good rivalry. No need to force anything. What a way to start it |

Goff and Mahomes is pretty good, as well. Especially if they meet again this year.
