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]

When does Mahomes ever complete a pass where the nearest defender is within 10 yards of the receiver? 2, maybe 3 times per game?
Football is an absolute joke now, and Andy Reid and the Chiefs' weapons are underscoring just how laughable it is.
When you watch Mahomes rather than actually watching box scores, you can see how objectively not impressive he is. He's Jeff Garcia with a stronger arm. Lousy mechanics, not very accurate, a bunch of jump passes to wide open guys...but that's all he has to do to put up huge numbers now.”
Meanwhile they have a thread on there bragging about how Trubisky is on pace for the best statistical season of a Bears QB. Wonder if the Andy Reid offense has anything to do with it...oh wait, no...it's ALL Mitch. None of those gadget screens and shovel passes from Nagy have anything to do with it.
Funny thing is I seem to remember people criticizing Mahomes for always going after the deep ball and never taking the checkdown. Today he torched the Browns with a lot of checkdowns...now getting criticized for that too. LOL [Reply]

deep down every one of them would trade
Nah, I have zero interest in posting on their forum. The comments are predictably delusional though. People dig their heels in and can never, ever admit they might have been wrong. [Reply]

He's not a bust, thanks to Nagy's offense and tutoring. I think he will be a very solid QB for them over the years. But it's laughable for them to sit there ripping Mahomes for being a "system" guy while THEIR GUY is benefiting from the same damn system. Hypocrites. [Reply]

Trubisky looks terrible out there. He's inaccurate and unable to read a defense pre-snap. He's more of an athlete than a quarterback, his running is actually the best attribute. [Reply]

I tend to think you gotta give Trubisky some time in the offense. Only Year 1 for him since he had different coaches last year. I think over the long haul he will turn into a pretty good player with Nagy tutoring him. [Reply]
When I watch Trubisky, I get vibes of what little I remember from watching a younger (pre-Chiefs) Rich Gannon playing for the Vikings vs. the Bears (of all teams) who I unfortunately used to be forced to watch all the time as a kid with my dad being a Bears fan. With that said, I can’t help, but think that Trubisky has the ceiling of...Rich Gannon later on in his career. They might be ok for a while which makes me sick because seriously...**** Bears fans. Bears fans at school growing up (the same ones who rooted for the preposterous Cubs) are the reason I decided that I couldn’t find it in myself to root for that garbage team with their garbage kicker (Kevin Butler) missing 3 field goals in a game to lose to the ****ing Raiders...which led to me becoming a Chiefs fan.
A real life interaction between my dad and I when I was 6-7 years old in 1989:
“Umm...Dad? Why do we root for the Bears when their fans are the same people as the Cubs fans we fight with all the time?”
“Because, dumbass. Because umm... I don’t know. Because uhhh...because ****ing Walter Payton was the best football player of all time... and he was a Bear. Good enough?!”
“Ummm...Dad? I don’t think I can root for the Bears anymore. I hate their fans...and I hate Kevin Butler. And I hate Jim Harbaugh...he sucks. I hate this team...I need to find a new one.”
“Whatever, dipshit... Just don’t become a ****ing Packers or Vikings fan. And no matter what, you WILL always be a St. Louis Cardinals fan. You aren’t allowed to jump ship on them or you WILL run extra sprints after every wrestling practice...deal?” [Reply]
I was frazzled when that was taken. My dad was pissed. I was frazzled because we were on top of the Sears Tower and the view outside (the heights) kind of scared me...and my dad was calling me a wuss for being scared. My dad was pissed because his oldest boy was being a wussy. [Reply]
