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]
Mahomes now is either 2nd or 3rd in Chiefs history in nearly every meaningful passing category.
The one that really stuck out to me, though is sacks. In only 20 less games, Mahomes has been sacked 70 fewer times than Trent Green. That's an amazing stat, especially when you consider line play. [Reply]

My knees would ache every time I watched green run [Reply]

FAVORITE STAT TIME!!!
1993:
Joe Montana: 298 passing attempts - 12 sacks
Dave Krieg: 189 passing attempts - 22 sacks.
Same line, Krieg out there getting sacked twice as often.
Quarterbacks are almost as important as the OL itself in preventing sacks. And as Joe Montana so aptly demonstrates (and Watson/Wilson the other way) it isn't about mobility. [Reply]

Yep. That's why I thought it was so amazing. It just shows you how special he is, especially with pressure all over him. [Reply]

Yeah even out of context that's pretty amazing, but when you think about how insanely good Trent's line was compared to some Mahomes has dealt with it's absolutely mind blowing. [Reply]

But I think it's mainly the WRs. We just don't have a Diggs or Gabe Davis who have the speed & ability to track & make tough catches down the field & we don't have a Mike Williams that we can just throw it up to to make a tough contested catch down the field.
Now, MVS has definitely been that deep threat guy in GB, but we aren't really using him that way here it seems like. And Hardman is the only other one with the speed to get a step open downfield, but Pat doesn't seem to trust him unless he's open by a few steps.
But yeah, I think it's mostly our scheme plus our WRs and to a certain degree the pass protection this year.
Ngl though I miss seeing Patty launch bombs on go routes and wish we'd atleast try it more. Let MVS go make a play or force a DPI.
Weird having Mahomes bazooka and rarely going deep with it the last season and 5 games...
I don't really think Andy has ever liked Go routes, at least as a Chief. Honestly Mahomes is not very good at the touch on them but he's nails on deep crossing routes. Which is funny because deep crossing routes are a bad QBs biggest fear of fucking up. [Reply]
