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]

But man - watch those clips. They don't get it right every time but those cats can pass block. And some of the times that things get hairy are the RPO plays where they're down blocking and Mahomes keeps the ball for the throw.
The OL is just genuinely good. They're giving him a lot of room to work with. They aren't a nasty squad so they seem to be struggling with run blocking a little, but they're also facing 8 man boxes in the 2nd halves of some of these games and we're trying to run uphill at that point.
Have to admit, they're rapidly changing my tune
Glad you mentioned the run blocking though, because its been very spotty... all in all though they've been a pleasant surprise, particularly Erving [Reply]

So he expected 1-2 picks for 3 games? These are the same people that said he would throw 2-3 picks per game. They’re moving the goal post now. I think he will continue to prove them wrong. [Reply]

This actually scares me.
I feel like Watkins, Conley and especially Kelce are careless with ball security. I wouldn't be surprised to see Peters strip one of them. [Reply]
Pundents are referencing past playoff woes as the reason Mahomes will - possibly - peter out. Mahomes is getting more press than whoever was wonderkid last year .
