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]

That's always been a fascinating way to view the MVP vote to me and typically the one I prefer.
Would any other player in the league change the fortunes of more teams than Patrick Mahomes? I just don't think it's even a close question. I don't know a better way to describe the most valuable player than that. [Reply]

EVERYthing was out of sync on offense, not just Mahomes.
That's not to say Mahomes has been 'perfect' the rest of the time, but he's been as close to that as you could expect a QB to be, all things considered. And he's the best QB in the game by a comfortable margin, no matter how much the media and other fanbases want to anoint the next great thing. He's proved it for 5 years now.
Maybe after Mahomes or maybe Andy retires we will get the real story on that.

That’s always the game I play & have mentioned it multiple times.

This is another tweet from him about Garoppolo.
This is my actual take. He is absolutely helped by Shanny / the receivers but isn't terrible. And I think the 3rd down stuff is partially his doing [Reply]

I think Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson could step in and make any team a playoff contender at the very least. We've yet to see if Josh Allen will have the staying power and Lamar Jackson would require a complete switch in offensive scheme.
Mahomes could go anywhere and see immediate, lasting success, I'd think. [Reply]
