Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]
I wonder if Bills fans are crying this week about how much money Josh Allen (the current #2 in the MVP race) makes too.
This is what I notice every time I watch other games. The other QB’s are luckier than Mahomes the last couple seasons. It has been crazy how low the margin for error is. At some point the luck will have to go the other way.
In the last two Playoff runs (7 games), Mahomes has 2 turnover worthy plays and he paid the full price on both of them. Josh Allen got away with both a fumble and interception ball on the final drive against Kansas City last season, never mind lucky mistakes from Allen in other games. [Reply]

He's consistently paid about the 8th-9th highest QB in the league. I'd call that a bargain for the universally agreed upon best QB in the league with 3 SB rings.
Yes, his cap hit does have an effect on the team and yes he's not playing up to his standards or his contract. But I know you'd agree, you wouldn't rather have anyone else on your team at QB1, even during his down years.
We're all complaining because we know what he can truly do, but I'd wager every single person on this board doesn't really mind and will stick by Mahomes through thick and thin. [Reply]

She had a pretty big meltdown on Twitter a couple years back that Patrick (NOT PAT!!) wasn’t visiting for Thanksgiving and it was starting to get some traction until she deleted it the next morning. One of her rants caused enough ripples that Patrick was asked about it in a postgame interview (Pat vs Patrick). I remember him being annoyed with the question. [Reply]
