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]

He hasn't looked like that at all for a long time.
That’s was his first Sunday night game.
Fast forward to his next Sunday night game vs Cinci, he was much more composed. [Reply]

The defense would get all pissed off because he'd do no-look stuff in practice, they'd get in trouble for giving up completions and thought he was just dicking around and not taking things seriously...
Great little insight (and really, just a good interview in general) from DJ.
You know damn well when he discusses "things beyond our control" in the playoffs he is talking about the forward progress call on his sack and fumble on Mariotta. [Reply]
Has Triplette ever once tried to explain what he thought he saw on that play that looked like forward progress was stopped?
Remember the terrible holding call on Sorenson in the Chargers game that should have been an interception and led to the Chargers first TD? I think on that the ref saw Gates' body jerk to the right, just as Sorenson put his hand on Gates' waist. But Gates jerked himself (hah!) to try to get to the ball thrown behind him. At least that's the best plausible idea I can come up with for what the ref thought he saw.
I cannot for the life of me think of one plausible thing Triplette could have thought he saw on that play. It was too fast. Did he not see the ball come out? Why not just call in the grasp then? I've never seen forward progress called in that spot when a QB is in the pocket and not running. It makes zero sense.
I think these refs at at least owe us a tersely-worded statement when they make a completely unexplainable call like that.

No question at all. You could see his eyes screaming as he was trying not to just say "Man, fuck Jeff Triplette. They made that old asshole retire the next day..." [Reply]
