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]

Well you don't have to worry about him being in the booth. [Reply]
I don't mind the froggy southern drawl. He needs to hire a vocal coach, though, to help break him of the 'Yeah, I mean" before every. single, sentence. [Reply]

He could take lessons from Andy.
Then he'd just start every sentence with "hey listen..."
Once I noticed that, it's all I ever hear from Andy Reid. My memory is that it was Herm that said "At the end of the day" about a dozen times each presser and I'm sure every other asshole we've had has had something like that. But man, Reid's just terrible with it. [Reply]

I've always thought Peyton Manning wouldn't be an OC or HC running an offense because he'd be too frustrated to not have the ability to directly change plays at the LoS. [Reply]

Mahomes referred to it as "using every inch of green grass on the field, whether horizontally or vertically." Kingsbury attributed it to the unexpected but rewarding consequence of splitting time between baseball and football in his youth.
"He just wasn't overcoached," Kingsbury said. "Maybe by not having the quarterback tutors that would have worked on his fundamentals, telling him he always had to step to his target and have his elbow at a certain angle. Maybe that helped him learn to throw the football on his own. He has touch and accuracy from different angles and different platforms. His ball just has a natural way of coming out, and you can see that in the way he plays."

He was never really corralled into a mechanical five-step drop, stay in the pocket, find your check downs. He was always allowed to cut it loose and play. There have been skeptics at every level saying it won't work. But that's what he's really good at."
To make it work, however, he needed a coach who would welcome an unorthodox quarterback and was all about challenging convention. As it turned out, Reid had been building toward this moment for more than a decade.
Maybe they're gonna start coaching young QB phenoms differently after all this. [Reply]
This is why I think people saying that if Alex had this start we'd have "torn him to shreds". To me, this start was as Anti-Alex as it gets. Mahomes took chances, threw for over 300 yards against the #1 defense in the NFL (Alex managed 300 yards 9 times in 5 year career with the Chiefs), and drove all over the field to put the Jags out of the game before they knew what hit them. He did throw 2 interceptions on risky throws, but to me, that separates the performance from Alex even more.
I think Alex goes something like 22/38 for 224 yards with 0 TD's and INT's. Do we win? Maybe, but I'm not convinced we score on the first drive - and if we don't get out to a 13-0 lead, the Jags likely establish the run and its a different game.
If I had to guess - I think this game would have been a photocopy of the Tenn games from 2016 & 2018. Ending with a last second dagger field goal and us losing 17-19 or some such. [Reply]
Indeed. We just landed Einsteinmanningrodgersfavre.

And I would have zero fucking problem with that. [Reply]
