  Chris Landry talking super Bowl, NFL and more on your Radio Money edition of
• 0:05
  the program. Make sure to find him on Exit Landry Football also Landry football
• 0:08
  dot com. Y'all want to stay on Mahomes for a minute. And I
• 0:10
  think you kind of kind of pointed it out there because looking through what he
• 0:14
  did last night in the box numbers, I mean, if you take away
• 0:18
  his ability to run the football last night, I mean, this Kansas City
• 0:22
  team only rushes for about sixty four yards. But you look at Mahomes nine
• 0:27
  carries sixty six yards along of twenty two. That's on the fourth and one
• 0:31
  play, the zone read play. And you kind of talked a little bit
• 0:35
  about his game. Are you ready to start talking about best quarterback ever?
• 0:40
  Where? I mean, this book is not written it it's not finished by
• 0:43
  far, it looks like for him, yeah, I mean best, Yes,
• 0:48
  absolutely most accomplished. Look here's the thing everybody wants to make that delineation.
• 0:55
  Now, there is no comparison between what he's done in his short stint
• 1:03
  as a quarterback in the NFL versus anybody else. No one has done with
• 1:06
  this guy has done to this degree as well as he's done it to this
• 1:10
  point, there's still a lot of football left for him to play, and
• 1:12
  if he continues on this path, he's gonna shatter everything. But we don't
• 1:17
  know what's going to happen. We don't know if that you don't win super
• 1:19
  Bowls by yourself, although if we've just talked about how he was the major
• 1:23
  difference. The team has to be good enough to be in a position to
• 1:26
  win, and they were. They didn't get to the super Bowl because of
• 1:33
  his play. They got to the super Bowl because they made adjustments as a
• 1:38
  team after the loss on Christmas to the Raiders to become more focused on the
• 1:44
  run in the defense. But it's not like he has to carry that team.
• 1:48
  It's just that when the game is on the line. I mean I
• 1:52
  literally think when I'm watching it, you know what I'm thinking of. I'm
• 1:56
  not thinking of a football player. I'm thinking of Michael Joy and running a
• 2:00
  clear out against the Jazz or someone else. I don't care what play it
• 2:04
  is. Run a clear out and I'm gonna take the final shot and it's
• 2:07
  going in. That's what Mahomes is. So he doesn't have to be great
• 2:13
  all the time. But if you are good enough to be in a position,
• 2:16
  tell me someone else you want in that situation more than him, Yes,
• 2:23
  even more than Brady. You know why, because Brady would have found
• 2:27
  a way to win, and he beat him as well. Mahomes, that
• 2:30
  is, Brady had to do it differently, and he did it more consistently
• 2:34
  over a long time. We'll see what Mahomes will do over that. But
• 2:38
  what if I had either in their prime, it'd be Mahomes because in addition
• 2:43
  to doing everything at the line of scrimmage, all the poise, the ice
• 2:46
  water in the veins, this guy can take over a game with his legs.
• 2:51
  And yeah, he's unlike anybody I've seen in terms of this modern day
• 2:58
  game, of which you can do so many things improvisational plays. Take over
• 3:02
  a game athletically, he does things and with the same in tangibles in the
• 3:07
  arm, angles the baseball backer on everything that allows them to do make throws
• 3:13
  that I mean, even the last the final play. It's a subtle thing,
• 3:16
  and I don't know if people notice it, go back and look at
• 3:20
  it. His eyes are or tinned towards the middle of the field. He's
• 3:25
  holding the linebacker and then he just swings it like almost no look pass,
• 3:31
  and it looks like, oh, simple, he was uncovered. He's uncovered
• 3:36
  because his eyes took the defense one direction and he just flicks it with his
• 3:40
  hand like he's thrown from second base on a routine grounder in game over.
• 3:46
  I mean, it's very difficult to try to defend against this guy.
