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]

Meh. Sometimes that's what it takes. At least we got the win. Just out of curiosity, could you post the Alex Smith pass chart for the Cardinals game for comparison? I know that he threw the same number of touchdown passed that Mahomes did(2). [Reply]

That game might be in the 20's.
Spencer Ware is running for 100 yards in one of those games. We'll also call that home game the "Chris Conley Drive for 5" because if Mahomes can earn Wilson $8 million/season in a single mopup game, surely he can get Conley $5 million somewhere. [Reply]

That's fewer behind the line than I realized.
I kinda felt like Andy did a poor job of adjusting to deal with the pressure but based on that, it sure looks like he tried.
I can't say that standing in the pocket for 2-3 seconds and looking downfield would've been terribly wise yesterday. The Cardinals were getting through almost as easily as the Chiefs were. [Reply]

Thanks Clay. I never would've expected to see the pass charts for Mahomes and Smith against the Cards to be so similar. But, Alex does that every week, whereas that was an anomaly for Mahomes. But, the good thing is that Mahomes has just shown the league that if you take away the deep ball, he is just as capable of beating you underneath. [Reply]

And hell, they aren't even that similar. In fewer attempts, Mahomes attempted 3 times as many passes past 10 yards.
That's been the biggest difference to me; the 15 yard throws. Smith occasionally dialed up deep balls last year and it helped him have a record season, but he was still dink and dunk between deep balls.
Mahomes constantly works that intermediate area of the field; that's how he's become such a zone killer. It's not the 3 throws greater than 20 he attempted that make zone so difficult to run effectively against him - it's the 5 throws he made at 15. [Reply]

The entire interview was just a great listen, not just the Mahomes stuff... sure wish my local sports talk radio could have Eisen instead of Dan Patrick

The Wolverines won eight individual bouts, earning bonus points in four.
Michigan won each of the final five bouts after the intermission break, highlighted by 14th-ranked sophomore/freshman Davonte Mahomes' dramatic 9-8 win against sixth-ranked Nate Jackson in the marquee match at 174 pounds.
The bout went back in forth with Mahomes taking the initial lead on a first-period double leg and Jackson taking over with two second-period takedowns. With the score knotted up at 7-7 in the third period, Mahomes sacrificed the lead on a stall warning -- his second -- on the edge of the mat but rallied late, finishing on a single leg with less than 20 seconds remaining. He rode out the remainder of the contest to hang on for the win.
