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've used the term twice on CP in the last few months and got neg bombed for it :-).
So again...what was fine 20 years ago is apparently racially insensitive now.
I once worked with an Asian guy who jokingly used the term "Twinkie" to describe Asians who acted like white people.
"Yellow on the outside, white on the inside." [Reply]

I remember that one too.
Back when people didn't take this shit so damn seriously. [Reply]

Changing language is annoying but in the end it's worth it. I understand people go overboard on twitter trying to find the newest offensive thing to tell everyone not to say in order to gain attention. I don't think that's what is happening here.
Ever white person is a mule... JUST SAYING [Reply]

Anyway, lets not derail.
Everyone, watch this fucking epic Patrick Mahomes breakdown that illustrates he's a fucking 4-read QB, not a 1-read QB like that moron "scout" said. [Reply]

The craziest part is watching him throw to guys who aren't open, but who are going to be open. [Reply]

I think people have a very different sense of the meaning of that term from your personal experience.
The more broad usage focuses on the COMPOSITION of the cookie, more than the ingredients.
ie, Oreo means outwardly black and white on the inside. To disparage 'Cartlon' types who are visually black but 'reject' black culture. [Reply]

Thank you for sharing. On a lot of those completions the receiver didn't even look open in slow motion, yet he hit them. Good stuff. [Reply]

There's an entire King of the Hill episode about Kahn being a "banana" [Reply]

This is good stuff. You can see him going through progressions and manipulating defenders with his eyes.
A lot of people slob Josh Allen's knob for his performance in that game, but I think Mahomes was just as good. Mahomes had a bit more help with our running game doing well, but more of the Chiefs' drives yielded points and several of Josh Allen's big plays came on 4th down.
Not that a big play on 4th down isn't clutch, but I dock him a little bit for needing to go for it on so many 4th downs. [Reply]
