00:03 There was a lot of people probably sitting there on Sunday,
00:07 watching that football game thinking, man,
00:10 if Brock Purdy wins the Super Bowl, that's gotta give me a lot of hope.
00:15 Whether you're the guys at the top who haven't won, the Lamars,
00:18 the Josh Allens, the Goffs, the Baker Mayfields, Brock Purdy winning.
00:23 I mean, that's gonna give everybody a lot of gas that they could eventually do it
00:27 one day, but Mike, nothing's easy when number 15 is on the other side of the field.
00:34 >> He's just amazing, Mike, and one of the things that blows me away is
00:39 there was a tweet that I reacted to on Sunday night.
00:43 And so a lot of reaction to Mahomes, a lot of modern reaction to him,
00:50 is that he couldn't have been great in prior eras.
00:54 Now, I'm not gonna say that there wouldn't have been coaches who would not
00:58 have allowed him to be great, I know that's true.
01:01 But if you played his football in any era, it would have been wildly successful.
01:06 He is just astonishing, his ability to improvise,
01:11 his ability to find open receivers in the most difficult circumstances.
01:18 His decision making, he's honestly the best quarterback there's ever been.
01:22 He's not gonna get that recognition until he has a broader career.
01:26 He's only been a starter for six years, but look at the six years.
01:30 He's been in the AFC Championship game every year.
01:33 He's been in the Super Bowl in four of them, he's won three of them.
01:37 There's never been a quarterback who's done that.
01:40 Now, I'm hopeful that he stays healthy even though it affects the Steelers.
01:44 I'm hopeful he stays healthy for another decade and
01:48 never has to deal with the injuries that could impact his ability to build a career
01:53 with longevity.
01:54 But even in the absence of that, there's never going to be,
01:59 well, I can't say there won't ever be another.
02:02 But you look back and there has never been a quarterback that began his career in
02:07 this fashion with this sort of achievement and doing it in such grand style.
