It’s definitely possible. We will see how he does when he only has Chase. Also, I am curious if he goes down the Andrew Luck path.

It's all just a race for distant second.

I mentioned it in another post but I try not to lean too heavily on postseason games in general. The sample size is too small most times. I only mention Purdy game managing wins in the postseason in response to Run saying Purdy didn’t shrink in the biggest moments.

But to answer your question, the other guys mentioned don’t have the luxury oftentimes. They’re the strength of their team or very close to it. What’s Purdy? Like the fifth, sixth most important player on the 49ers? Lamar Jackson is THE guy in Baltimore. Burrow has a strong 1, 2 in Chase and Higgins that may even be better than the combo of Deebo and Aiyuk but Kittle/CMC shits on Mixon/whoever the Bengals TE is. The Bengals also have a notoriously bad offensive line. They had a backup QB come in and play out of his mind and they still didn’t sniff the playoffs.

The situations just aren’t comparable.

I was actually more so referring to the 2018 Super Bowl. Scoring only 3 points in the big game sucks balls.

But when you take two different teams to the NFCCG, you buy yourself a lot longer leash.
