Wall Street Journal Seyz Dominance Of Paddy Mahomes Denies Other NFL Quarterbacks

Today that nation's financial newspaper of record performs a rhetorical trick on gullible readers. 

Their premise: 

Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winning QB Patrick Mahomes is SOOOOO good. How good is he? He's soooooooo good that other QBs are missing out because of his excellence.

This false narrative from a highly controlled environment leads readers to a great many silly conclusions.

The editorial begs readers to disagree . . . OF COURSE Paddy is entitled to keep winning as long as possible. And this knee-jerk reaction MIGHT lead the gullible middle-class to endorse domination in all of its otherwise unsavory forms. Paddy is great and deserves success, so that must mean that it's okay to horde wealth, resources, power privilege. Right?!?

Maybe . . . TKC certainly isn't trying to take anybody's cheese. 

However . . . 

The false premise is that selfish, predatory lust for victory is somehow noble when every worthwhile insight into humanity says otherwise.

Even worse . . .

This kind of lazy thinking lures readers into a trap.

Mahomes is great and we hope he wins another Super Bowl but someday very soon the game will be over for him and he'll have to retire . . . Meanwhile, there's no sign that human greed, lust and will to power is going to subside in the near future and this kind of dubious "winner take all" mentality sets up adherents for needless cataclysmic fall against otherwise reasonable requests like Universal Basic Healthcare.  

Or maybe financial newsies should stick to what they know best . . . 

Here's the money line:

"The best way to understand Mahomes’s chokehold on the sport isn’t actually through his own successes. It’s through the shortcomings of every other quarterback since his reign over the sport began.

"There’s now an entire generation of quarterbacks who have been starved of winning a Super Bowl—and it’s all because of him.

"Mahomes’s sustained excellence—particularly in the postseason, where he has somehow managed to win a higher percentage of games than during the regular season—means there’s now more than a decade’s worth of superstar passers who have been completely shut out from hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. "
