Tired of hearing Mahomes fanboys crying about "If Patrick had Chase and Higgins . . . Blah ####ing Blah".
Joe took over a 2-14 team with no o-line.
Patrick sat for a year behind Alex Smith on a team that went 11-5 and 12-4 before he got there. Then they traded up to get Patrick and then went 9-6 before letting him start the last game of the season, a 27-24 win over a 5-11 Broncos team.
Patrick played his entire career minus one game behind a good o-line. He sucked that one game, which was oddly reminiscent of watching Burrow trying to play behind his o-line before his knee was shredded his rookie year.
The next off-season, the Bengals wanted to sign o-line but top OG Thuney signed with KC in the first minutes of FA, so they settled for Reilly Rief. Then KC trades for two time pro-bowler, now four time pro-bowler, Orlando Brown Jr.
KC nails the draft with Creed Humphery taken after the Bengals took Jackson Carman. They also picked up Trey Smith after the Bengals took Trey Hill. But the Bengals did get Ja'Marr Chase.
Finally, through free agency, the Bengals put together an o-line that can compete in big games and, suddenly, the Patrick worshippers, thinking of a decade of AFC dominance, face the possibility of it all being nothing more than a dream. They know that this might be the last AFC Championship Game that they'll ever see in KC, so now it's "If Patrick had this" or "If Patrick had that" . . . We get it. If your team was better, Patrick would win against Burrow. But they're not better, and, in fact, neither is Patrick.
