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]
You know for being a basketball analyst Chris is actually pretty smart when it comes to football. Mahomes the GOAT that’s a real possibility. Over 5,000 yards and 45 TDs this year certainly so. [Reply]

To his credit at least McVay admitted to copying plays from Reid. [Reply]

Uh yeah but Pat has looked at the same film too and he’s going to be even better.
One way or another, nature's fundamentals find their way into all aspects of life, Mr. RunKC. Once merely has to look for them.
In this case, the national pundits (or as I prefer to call them, The Empty Headed Suck Sisters) seem to believe that "tape on Mahomes" automatically gives the advantage to the film viewer. To them, this is the only logical outcome or interpretation of the anticipated effect of the film-viewing process.
This is an example of accepting an evolutionary paradox. The EHSS apparently believe that survival of the fittest only applies to one species variant and not another. In other words, the same Mahomes seen on tape in 2018 will be the same Mahomes in 2019 and beyond. This view is, of course, absurd.
I like to use the example of the bunny rabbit which has evolved extraordinary hearing and vision which provide sustained survivability in a world full of dangerous predators. Eventually, we can assume that the bunny rabbit will also develop a caustic or poisonous venom. Such a toxin will likely be propelled on demand from a new gland located somewhere on the bunny rabbit's more highly-evolved ass. Contact with this venom can be expected to result in the immediate death on the part of any predaceous enemy following too close. Heck ... in Australia, it may already have done so.
