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]

Had a steelers fan tell me mahomes was figured out. I told him... Buddy, he just won mvp and hes the one figuring out the NFL. Even at his worst in the second half he played like an mvp.
Mahomes got away with mistakes because he's outstanding at improvising. Downright scary to think a guy who played that well has so much upside. [Reply]

Mahomes' first season running Reid's offense was 2018. It's logical to believe he'll be better in his second season running Reid's offense. Actually, his second season should see the greatest improvement in his play because it's the first time he's had an off season to review tape of his play and improve his decision making based on that review. Thinking Mahomes will be less effective in his second season running Reid's offense is just folly. I expect a higher completion % with more pass attempts while maintaining the same yards per attempt.

I completely forgot that Mahomes also had to convert that 4th and 3 play after his miracle throw.
A lot of that patience that Mahomes said he needs to learn was on display on that 4th and 3. Once again, if we're talking about other rookie QBs... even guys like Manning when he was a rookie, they probably shit their pants.
With Mahomes, and with pressure in his face like that, he knew the hot route, he stayed calm, and it was perfect. [Reply]

His football mind both at the board and under fire are way beyond his years. This isn't some slapdick sophomore QB that you're going to "figure out" , at least not during this stage of the game and of his development. last year's tape doesn't help you because in the case of a guy like Mahomes, last year is a fart in the wind, never to be seen again.
His improvisational skills are far too advanced to be dissected like any other QB going into their second season. In short, if you are an opposing defensive coordinator... there is no hope. :-) [Reply]
