I've heard a lot of how him and Mahomes we're gonna be the new Brady/Manning rivalry over the last week.

well, one has shown up.

Jackson may not be Brady or Manning but even in the loss he did some pretty amazing things. Dude's fun to watch and he's young. It's not crazy to think he could get a lot better.

2 of his TD drives were off of playground 1 in a 1000 type of plays though- that aren't sustainable. Even with those 2 plays- his QB rating was a very mediocre 70.6 on Sunday. His QBR from ESPN was 63.5. He's had exactly 2 games over 70 in the QBR- 1st 2 weeks this year. And that's a whole hell of a lot more about the defenses he was going up against than about him...

Feel like folks need to slow their roll with him.

Changed your mind yet? His passing isn't world-beating but it's serviceable, and he's one of the league's leading rushers. He looked terrific last night. I think longevity of a running qb is a legit concern but right now? Dude's getting MVP talk.
