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]

Gotcha!!!!
Maybe if I keep practicing I'll learn.
Just stop. You're, somehow, worse than normal. [Reply]

Ball protection is important ... but it’s less important than the ability to make difficult throws, or challenge the whole field, or anticipate receivers breaking open (throwing them open).
If you don’t have at least 2 of those factors, all the ball protection in the world won’t matter.
Yea I never understood how coming up short on 3rd down and punting is protecting the ball. You are just picking how to give it up I guess. [Reply]
that was damned funny. i am actually surprised you aren't seeing more and more of the 'haircut' around the midwest. of course i'm damned near 7000 miles away, so it's not like i am walking the streets of kc :-) [Reply]
The Jags defense even knew he was moving the ball up and down on them with relative ease.
Which is why the 0 TD/2 INT stat line is pretty misleading. Drove the ball all over the field. An offense does not put up 23 points on the board in 3 quarters against a strong defense like that unless the QB is doing a pretty good job.
Jags defense had not given up this kind of yardage since 2015...and he did that in 3 quarters. [Reply]
He was also moving the ball out of terrible field positions always getting at least one first down deep in our own territory. That is huge. Those are usually the situations top defenses take advantage of to make game changing plays in. [Reply]
