Bottom line. Tua's back out there making plays — cuz he went through his refiner's fire, stuck it out, & came through on top.

Yes, the coaches were instrumental, but they didn't ultimately make things happen for Tua.

I still think Saleh might be a very good coach for Zach's longterm success. But regardless, it's ultimately Zach who's gonna make things right for Zach.

And from what I can see --like Tua once upon a time-- he's got a long way to go, probably. That's the way it goes for most successful NFL QBs.

Mahomes is a dream — that rarely, rarely happens. And his sheer talent is only a fraction of the story of why that worked out the way it did.
