I don't even like red meat that much and medium-rare is far superior in every way.

In my area, most of the time you have to order it medium done just get medium.

[SmittyBacall]

Can OP add A1 sauce to the poll please?

[Jlowe22]

Not as bad as those people that put mayonnaise on everything.

Drew Brees seems like a medium rare kind of dude, just give him the award.

I understand that, but what will the tape show that teams will figure out?

I don't know, ask a majority of rookie/first years starters to start out on fire and then slow down a bit. They find tendencies, weak spots, etc.

That's a little too arbitrary for my liking. I'd be interested to see those names if you could provide some. Not that Mahomes couldn't or wouldn't apply to that category, but I think it's unfair to assume defenses can't stop him because they haven't seen enough of his tape. It's too vague of an answer. It's week 11, how much tape do they need? I think the phenomena of young QBs starting hot applies more to defenses underrating a young QBs ability to consistently beat them, instead of respecting them for how good they are. Perhaps Mahomes is just that difficult to stop. He's definitely not playing like a second year pro; he's making checks at the line and reading defenses like a veteran. Although he has been turning the ball over more in recent weeks, so who knows. 

I do agree his numbers are going to tail off, but I think that has to do more with his inability, or any QB, to remain that hot for 16 games. Eventually mistakes will happen, players have an off week etc. What goes up must come down type of thing.

Here's something to consider: Could you also make the case for defenses to eventually find a way to slow down Brees' offense this season? If not, is the difference only age and/or experience? 

This is all just speculation on my part, as I don't have an answer. I just wanted to do some digging on specifics in regards to the original statement.

I mean, he is right, if he wants to pay $60 for his A1 flavored beef jerky, so be it. But he could save a lot of money by going with:

I mean, its happened quite often where a mildly talented or young QB comes in lights it up for a few weeks only to tail off once defenses have more tape to review. Am I saying thats going to happen? No, but it certainly is something that does happen so dismissing it seems very odd.
