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]

I mean - maybe?
7-2-6-15
So yeah - that last number is up. Next number will probably be in the 6-8 range again, though.
I'm not saying he can't eventually become the #2 TE, but to claim victory as though he is? Well that's just dumb. At present he is clearly not the #2 TE. Heck, Noah Gray has gone 7-0-11-18; he's actually had fewer snaps on Offense than Gray has had to this point. You could just as easily call him the #4 TE right now and not be inaccurate.
If Kelce gets hurt I'd imagine that Fortson absorbs more of his snaps than Bell does because Fortsons athleticism more closely resembles Kelce's and he can do more of the 'move TE' stuff that Kelce does. But as long as Kelce is healthy, Bell's probably going to get more snaps than Fortson in 12 personnel groups. [Reply]
13. Mahomes didn’t say much in Kansas City’s quarterback meetings as a rookie. He was Alex Smith’s understudy and he knew it, so he generally spoke when spoken to.
Coaches put plays up on the screen, hit pause and asked the quarterbacks what decision they’d make in that situation: “Who would you go to here? Would you hit the over or the under here?”
The “over” might be an 18-yard throw, the “under” around 4 yards. Mahomes wasn’t looking at either.
“Shit,” he’d say, “I’d throw the post.”
“I’d look at him like, ‘Fucking what?'” assistant head coach Brad Childress said, laughing. Childress would study the screen again: Sure enough, there was a quarter safety standing flat-footed with a receiver about to blow past him — if the QB had enough arm to chuck it 65 yards and enough guts to try it, that is.
Eventually, Childress would change his response. “Yeah,” he’d say. “Good idea.”

It is possible. It'd require a Chiefs/Rams like shootout, which necessitates a horrific defense, which we absolutely have. The Chiefs/Bills and Chiefs/Cowboys games, on paper, could provide that kind of matchup this season. [Reply]
