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’d put 2022 over any other year because of 1/ the absence of Tyreek; 2/ his ability to immediately blend with an entire new group of receivers much better than he ever did with Pringle, DRob, Connely, etc and 3/ the fact that 2018 there was novelty and no one knew how to defend him - now there’s years of tape and he’s still doing this at such a high level as he’s broken their codes.

No Kareem Hunt or Sammy Watkins this season as well. 2018 Mahomes pretty much had the type of loaded weaponry that Joe Burrow is enjoying in Cincy right now. And he had the element of surprise as you mentioned. [Reply]

That was also Patrick at his playmaking best though.
And many of his signature plays that season weren't to his main weapons.
The throw against the Chargers to Sausage
The wild TD against the 49ers was to Chris Conley
The No Look Pass was to D Rob
The falling out of bounds TD against the Chargers was also to D Rob
The sidearm TD against the Seahawks to Charcandrick fucking West
And finally the 50th TD was to DRob in the final game of the season.
Mahomes is probably a "better" QB now. He handles the intricacies of the game better and is more in command of the offense.
But I've never had more fun watching football than watching Patrick Mahomes in 2018.
Every single game he would literally do something you had never seen in a football game before.
I don't know if i'll ever see anything like it again. [Reply]

Yeah I’m going with 2022 for the above stated reasons too. [Reply]

He is still doing crazy shit, but people take it for granted nowadays. It happened when he was in college too. Tech folks just got used to him doing ridiculous stuff and we just kind of shrugged our shoulders as time went by. [Reply]

If you promise me rep I promise you I can match every single one of those plays with plays he made from this season. They're just part of what's expected from Patrick now. [Reply]
