I watched the first episode of Hard Knocks so I’m basically an expert on his psyche now.
I’d say he’s got a little edge to him. I see that mostly in his cocky demeanor. |

John Harbaugh says absolutely silly ridiculous shit about Lamar Jackson and his aspirations and potential to be the best ever, and we're supposed to praise him because "What else is he supposed to say about his QB???" If a player in the limelight doesn't explicitly say he thinks he can be better than the NFL's best, he's not confident and a loser. Whatever happened to the boring ol' "One practice at a time, one day at a time, just keep improving" mindset that every athlete under the sun would spout? When did it turn into this nonsense? I wouldn't be at all surprised if some douche on the Panthers were to say he thinks Bryce Young is the best QB in the NFL. |

They drafted Rome Odunze, have DJ Moore, Kmet as a legit TE, and Keenan Allen for at most 6-7 games before he gets hurt So the opportunity is there and I believe he has it, but only in the right circumstance before his personality + losing becomes an issue and he gets coaches/GMs fired before fading out of the league Andy could make this guy a killer though |

He’s wrong and it’s a stupid take. But in the clips I saw he doesn’t address Mahomes at all. He’s just acting fanboy about Stafford and then says he doesn’t think even 2 QBs are better than him. And then he follows that up with the view that Rodgers ranks first in his book.
I read it as 80% “these are the QBs I’ve watched during my formative years who influenced me most” and 20% “throwing shade at Mahomes.” This is the opposite of how Mahomes has always carried himself. As I’ve mentioned before, he’s far, far more edgy and salty in person but would never in a million years put these hot takes out there in the world. Caleb is definitely going about it a different way. |

Caleb strikes me as a guy with lots of ability who teammates will never really love. So maybe the Rodgers comparison makes sense. because mahomes is an elite QB on his own physical ability. But it's the mental stuff that puts him in the GOAT conversation.
Unlike Stafford he finds ways to win games Unlike Aaron, mahomes is an incredible leader who teammates love to play with. Actually Aaron is a better version of Stafford because super bowl aside, aaron has had a spotty playoff career |

Caleb has always had a chip on his shoulder when it’s come to Patrick. In college he was getting asked about his comparisons to Patrick so often that he snapped one day and said “the only difference between Mahomes and I is that I can throw the ball further.”
On one hand, I can empathize with how questions like this could get frustrating when you’re trying to blaze your own trail and it’s being assumed you’ve been influenced by someone who never influenced you. On the other, Mahomes was compared to Favre quite often until his Brees/Brady esque 2022 season (Year 6 in the league), and never once took the “risk taking gunslinger” comparison as an insult and let his play rather than his words bury those comparisons (funnily enough, Josh Allen has always looked like a Favre with legs to me but rarely gets that comparison). Caleb approached college with the same bravado and it made the haters extra delightful when he had high profile chokes against Tulane and other lesser teams. We’ll see if he shakes his college reputation like Mahomes did, because he’ll have to do it with stratospheric like expectations (because unlike Mahomes & Favre, he’s being compared to the best). |

Here's hoping Caleb has a Ryan Leaf type of meltdown.
