MMOexp Madden 24: The world got to witness

[Heulwen]

If Mahomes only plays another decade, which honestly seems too short, but let’s assume he does MUT 24 Coins, he’ll be historic. If that happens he’s on pace for over 65,000 passing yards and 529 touchdowns, which would be 4th in league history in both categories, reaching the marks with fewer years played than those above him.

It’s silly to project out Joe Burrow this early, but for the sake of fun he’s tracking to have 55,000 passing yards and 350 TDs in a 15 year career. Josh Allen would have 53,000 yards and 386 TDs. Herbert, also silly to project, but he’s tracking for a comical 70,000 passing yards and 518 TDs.

The point here isn’t to say “these guys will be better than Brady, Manning, Favre, or Elway,” it’s more to appreciate that we’re seeing four potentially legendary quarterbacks all in their peak, all competing in the same conference, all at the same time.

That has never happened before. There was always an ebb and flow to QB play that saw the young take over from the old, but not in a huge block like this. The last time this happened was the legendary 2004 Madden NFL 24 Draft, which brought Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, and Ben Roethlisberger into the league, but they were spread out, balanced, Aaron Rodgers joined them a year later to round out the quartet, but we have two in the NFC, two in the AFC — symmetry. This is something wholly new.

So much of this has to come from the AFC Divisional Playoff game between the Bills and Chiefs. So many people who aren’t die-hard football fans tune in only for the playoffs, or have merely a passing understanding of the stars of the league. The world got to witness the brilliance of Mahomes and Allen play out in the final two minutes of that game, cementing both of their ascents into greatness and making us completely forget that we wouldn’t see any more Brady and Rodgers.

That will continue in the AFC Conference Championship. I might be in the minority, but I think Chiefs vs. Bengals has the potential to buy MUT 24 Coins another all-time great game. This time a shootout between Mahomes and Burrow.
