***Official Super Bowl Game Thread***

Well said. I got into an argument with someone about Purdy and we got to Aiyuk and Samuel. His claim was that Aiyuk is one of the best in the game. I said “you really think Aiyuk is better than Jefferson? Hill? Chase?” His response was that Aiyuk is arguably better than all three. I told the guy that I now understand how much he knows about football and appreciated a great laugh and don’t need to waste time arguing with him anymore.
The draft experts and announcers have to downplay Purdy because he shows all of them that that the draft is crapshoot at best and grading out college players for NFL success is nearly impossible to do at the QB position. Brady was on the board till what the 5th round, people complained about the Chiefs drafting Mahomes and moving up to do it.
The truth is that for every QB drafted in April, half will be horrible, a few will be average and maybe one out of this class will be exceptional. Purdy is thriving because he makes quick decisions on where to throw the ball, is very accurate putting the ball where a receiver can catch it out front and run. The kid started a lot of games at ISU and that is now paying off for him, he has saw it and been there and knows how to react to it. That is why he is successful, and there are those that refuse to just admit they were wrong on scouting him.

The draft isn’t a crapshoot. It’s all about scouting. Look at the Chiefs - there are many starters they drafted but almost no high picks playing for the best NFL franchise. That’s not because Andy Reid and Brett Veach got lucky, it’s because they are better at their jobs than many others.
Scouting can only take you so far, I was talking about quarterbacks not the whole team. The Chiefs saw something in Mahomes that others didn't, which is great for the Chiefs.
If you think scouting and drafting QB's is so easy, tell us all which of the QB's out of the draft will be All Pro's, which ones will be a bust.
Hell, the 9ers must be genius, as they took Purdy as the last pick in the draft, and he is an All Pro in his 2nd year in the league. Scouting only gets you so far, the rest is hard work and some luck.
Huh? I’m not telling you it’s easy - I said the exact opposite. Drafting is a skill and some organizations are better at it than others. It sure as hell isn’t just luck.
Sure, some organizations are better than others, the Chiefs sucked at it for 30 years. We have a good team in place now, at this moment, but keeping it together is the problem. The more success a team has, their FO and coaches get hired away to run other teams and what was once easy, becomes difficult again.
Enjoy the moment, keep building for the future and we will be fine. But we also have to be lucky.
Is this the official thread or will there be an ***asterisk*** version.
Suggest 1 day ban hammer for people triggered about one celeb at superbowl but not concerned about the other 2000 celebs at Super Bowl.
This Super Bowl is the only one that has ever mattered deeply to ISU, don’t need insecure weirdos ruining it on cf.

I really think the only substantial difference between Brock and Drew Brees 6 years into college/pro is how college players get evaluated in draft. They had comparable college careers and comparable physical strengths and weaknesses.
20-25 years ago Brock is probably a 2nd rounder if Brees was 32nd pick.
I’ve changed title to be the official official thread.
I know it should be different and is for many, but I’m nervous AF waiting for the game. So desperately want Brock to get a championship in his 2nd year to cement his story as truly legendary.

Neither of those are remotely what I was objecting to.
When I see endless women swooning, practically fainting over things such as the mention of Kelce having watched the Grammy’s in his phone to see Taylor get her awards, it throws me.
I mean, if you can’t be there, what’s more normal for any guy than watching your significant other get a significant award?
And yet they were regarding this as something far, far beyond the norm.
Surely they can’t have all had boyfriends who were that ******, right? Er, right?
I'll be rooting for Purdy and the 49ers big time in this game! Do not want the Chiefs to win another one... sick of them.
However... if I had to bet my house on the game, I'd bet on the Chiefs. So many things in their favor... the biggest one being they've been there so many times and have that experience under their belts. But also because... the 49ers looked like hot garbage against Detroit and should have lost that game. Detroit was the much better team IMO... but choked and handed the game to the 49ers with dumb mistakes. The 49ers did not have to do much to win that game... Detroit gave it away. If that 49ers defense shows up tomorrow... Mahomes will make them look silly.

So f'ing tired of broadcasters still shooting in 720 or 1080. Even for what is expected to be the most watched TV event of all time.
Can I watch Super Bowl 58 in 4K?
Yes, you can, sort of. CBS has confirmed that it will be the first network to offer both a 1080p and a 4K version with HDR (High Dynamic Range) support, which should provide an even better visual experience if your TV supports those formats
However, the TV Answer Man website has confirmed that the 4K HDR version won't be a native stream but will be upscaled from its 1080p HDR broadcast. Still, the 4K HDR version should look better than the 1080p HDR edition.
Who is showing Super Bowl LVIII in 4K HDR?
According to the TV Answer Man site, a number of cable, satellite, and internet-based TV services will show the game with its 4K HDR resolution. They include DIRECTV, DIRECTV Stream, Fubo, Optimum TV, Cox Cable, Dish, Comcast, Verizon, and YouTube TV.
For cord-cutting streamers who don't have a cable or satellite subscription, FuboTV is your best bet to watch the game in 4K HDR. You can access its service with a seven-day free trial. YouTube TV also has a free trial, but unfortunately, it only offers 4K support with a paid add-on.
The game will also be live-streamed on the Paramount+ streaming service, but for some reason, it will only have the 1080p HDR stream. People who use Charter Spectrum's cable TV service are also stuck with 1080p HDR.

People who get the draft right are worth their weight in gold. They tend to create dynasties.
Look at the Pittsburg Steelers class of 1974, the greatest draft in the history of the NFL.. Five hall of famers, Lynn Swann (RD 1); Jack Lambert (RD 2): John Stallworth (RD 4); Mike Webster (RD 5) and Donnie Shell (undrafted free agent). Four Super Bowl championships. Luck was not involved. The Pittsburg Steelers scouts did a lot of detailed work. Outside of Lynn Swann, most were question marks at best to the public. One went to Kent State, another to Alabama A & M. However, the Pittsburg scouts knew what they were doing. True it is very hard to come close to replicating what Pittsburg did.
Really true, if you look at most of the great teams, they did exactly like the Steelers did in 1974, just hit player after player. You can only scout so far, and yes, you need luck in the fact that the player falls to you at the spot, and he is good as what you think he is.
The SF of old and Cowboys both had one great draft where they also got 4 or 5 starters and a couple all pros from.
If you do not think you have to be lucky, you only have to look at Pacheco, he has been a great addition to the team, but if the Chiefs thought that highly of him, why did they wait until the 7th round to take him? You keep thinking it all comes down to scouting and hard work, but if they knew he was going to be such a good back, why did they not take him in the 3rd or 4th round, instead of waiting till the 7th round. That is where the luck comes in, they liked him, but not enough to take him earlier than what they did.
Go Chiefs

Can't lose game for me. Lifelong Chiefs fan so if they win great but if Purdy wins that's amazing too.
I actually don't think this will be all that close. Chiefs by 10+
