It seems more like a quote of "Hey, they are really good and happy for them, but let's hold up on the guy is the next goat." Which, will piss off some posters around here but isn't an unfair statement. He's playing lights out the last two games, and having an MVP type season. Need to win in the playoffs and silence all possible doubt while playing at a high level for several seasons.
He went well past a "let's not crown him just yet". "Nothing special about him at all" I believe was the quote...his numbers, the eye test on the field, his teammates love him, the analytics, the passer rating, deep dive analysis by h.o.f. qbs that all end with Peyton or Warner or Brees saying things like "this guy is different, this guy is special" or something to that effect.....I'll take the word of dudes who I know they know what they're talking about and they stand by their analysis and post it on their YouTube channel while some loser anonymously trashes the guy.
Being a Bengals fan is like being in love with a narcissist. It's a brutal, emotionally abusive relationship but I never leave and just keep making excuses for them.
