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]

We talk'in bout practice. Not a game. Practice.
Hopefully Picksix Mahomes II learns from his mistakes [Reply]
Rookie QB from a fucked up college system in your first scoring scrimmage of your first NFL mini-camp? If you throw a pick, you're dead to me!
1000-year NFL vet QB who plays like a gutless scared pussy and consistently comes up short when the going gets tough in the playoffs? I LOVE YOU [Reply]

Yep.
May Mahomes continually chafe the ass of Trufus Dawes and all his ilk, those who would bitch about missing the playoffs but have nothing to say when their game managing princess does his usual bang-up job of getting the team knocked the fuck right out of said playoffs.

He was a finished product, and stayed what he was. Didn't seem to want to get better. Mahomes seems to want to get better, and will most likely become a much better QB than he was in college. [Reply]

I hate agreeing with Keitzman bc he's a POS, but he's right about Mahomes error yesterday.
Mahomes was never taught to throw the ball away at TTU ever and he was always being taught to "get it and go" from the spread system. A lot of that was probably due to having to score every time he has the ball or else they lose.
This is the Jay Cutler in him and it's clear that Andy is going to Coach the hell out of him at all times to erase that habit out of his head and teach him to play good football.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if he's given a true redshirt year by being the 3rd QB this season working with Mike Kafka full time and learning from Andy and Alex in meetings.
Don't know why anyone would be surprised by the fact that the staff view this season for Pat as unavailable with the plan for him to be working with the coaches and fixing his learning to adjust to the Pro game.
If the kid is an uncut diamond, there's no benefit trying to force him into a setting to put him on display. Put in the time and work to cut and polish his game so he can shine instead of rushing to show off the jewel of this organization's draft class.
It's pretty apparent Pat has some areas that need significant fixing and correcting. Footwork, when to throw it away vs when to take chances. That's a bit more than just getting up to speed, and it doesn't benefit the team or Pat to rush him. [Reply]

The INT's in practice show that Mahomes has a long way to go. Trent Green said he would be surprised if Mahomes was the backup QB this season. I agree with him.
INTs and mistakes aren't a red flag.
The red flag is repeating the same dumb mistakes over and over.
That's what doomed Cutler into failing to pan out. Along with a shitty attitude, issues with coachability, and poor ability to work with teammates or be a team leader. Ultimately, it was the inability to stop repeating mistakes or caring about fixing it. [Reply]
It is just practice- but let's run him out of town for a meaningless pickoff during his first action. I guess you think KK is right- 2PM is a LOSER? [Reply]
