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]

Spurrier was the best example of that you'll ever see. Kicked ass in college, went to the pros and when the rest of the NFL had coaches working 80+ hour weeks, he said 'nah, I'm rich and like to golf; I'm not doing that...'
Guy kept working 40 hour weeks and got strafed because he just wasn't going to put in the work. After a couple of years, he realized that he just didn't feel like putting in the hours it would take to be good so he went back to college where he could work less.
Manning would do the same. That's why Gruden's going to fail - there's no way he's going to outwork Andy Reid after being out of the game for a decade; I just can't see him getting that edge back.
The guys that coach in this league are different animals, man.
Now one person who I could weirdly see being a coach after he retired is Tom Brady. And it's not because of the money - it's because Brady doesn't seem to WANT a life outside of football. Brady would come coach 80 hours/wk because it's just what he loves to do. I don't think that's how Manning is wired. [Reply]

Works for me because I don't want to see him vex the Chiefs for another 20 years. [Reply]

:-) This. All hatred aside, I could see him being an excellent coach/coordinator. [Reply]

Completely agreed. Manning made his improbable, ride off into the sunset Super Bowl winning speech a beer commercial for Bud Light. I think he's not going to ever want to tie himself down to a commitment like the NFL ever again. [Reply]

Is it just me, or does any else think Peyton Manning sounds like his nasal passages are clogged and he has a permanent cold?
I watched the video on ESPN channel on Roku, and after watching the all-22 I kept thinking that Manning was going to definitely point out that Harris miss.
Honestly, missing Harris on that play is one of the worst reads I have seen Mahomes make. And it's awesome to think "So What?" because everything about Mahomes is extra. If Smith had missed that read I would be pissed all week, because it would probably be the read that lost the game.
