And honestly Wyche, I like you, but I find this post a little condescending tbh. Literally no one is suggesting good OL play doesn’t make a difference, but it’s also not the end all be all some on this board (yourself included) make it out to be.

Eric Fisher was getting beat like a drum in the Super Bowl. KC’s center is barely rated above Trey Hopkins...

The main reason they won was their elite QB made the plays he had to late in the 4th quarter.

Well, I apologize to you for coming off that way, I value our discussions. So please forgive me for that, it wasn't my intention.

That said, Jimmy is not Pat Mahommes, and he's who we were talking about. A guy like Mahommes CAN make a lot of things happen on his own. Jimmy, not so much. That was my point, and has been my point about OUR team. If you have a transcendent type talent at QB, you don't necessarily need great protection. Those types are very rare. If you don't, you protect the QB.  KC also has excellent talent catching the ball, and they help their QB by breaking off routes and coming back to the ball. They get a lot of YAC too. I mean, Hill, Watkins, and Kelce with Mahommes? Murderers Row! 

Speaking of the Super Bowl, that 9ers D even forced the great Pat Mahommes into 2 INTs, and a not so great first 3 quarters. Winning the trenches is tantamount to a team's success. Lately, the Bengals have not been doing that.
