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]

Man, I don't want to hear ANYTHING that suggests another QB is better for the next 10-15 years. That **** is over and done until Pat decides to do something else. [Reply]

99% of QBs are trying to loft that ball and it gets picked or sails out of bounds
DART
Know how many times I saw Alex Smith get that shit batted right back into his face? Too god damn many. I bet Mahomes is by far the lowest on batted balls. It rarely happens. [Reply]
Patrick Mahomes had 8 of his 648 pass attempts batted down, so good for 1.23%. Out of the 32 QBs with the most passing attempts that put him at 4th behind
I know the percentages are a little bit less, but I think Mahomes is more impressive. The fact that he had
over double the amount of throws as the #1 and #2 guys and 250 more than #3 just means Mahomes had a shit more opportunities to get the ball knocked down. Plus pass rushers knew he was gonna throw, so they tried their damnedest to knock the ball down. [Reply]

If you had asked me prior to that Texans win in the 2015 season that we'd win 12 playoff games by the 2023 season, I would have called you nuts. I didn't know what ONE was, let alone 12 of them.
And looking back, it doesn't even seem like 12. It seems like 6 or 7. I think that's what happens when you make deep playoff runs into the Super Bowl. You start thinking of the streaks rather than the individual games themselves. [Reply]

it's crazy how good that looks compared to the live angle

Exactly. They have won more playoff games under Mahomes than the rest of their history combined. [Reply]

How did anyone question his release? I remember folks trying to prop up Watson by saying that he had some hyper-quick release and could make up for a relative lack of arm strength with it.
But lord man, how can anyone have a quicker, better release than Mahomes? That 2nd play is just maelstrom, find Chiefs jersey, ball out immediately. [Reply]
That video is another example of how he didn't trust the tackles most of last year. Look at how he's leaving the pocket at first sign of stress and where said stress is coming from.
I think the tackle upgrades are gonna be huge. [Reply]

Trying my best to enjoy this unicorn bc I’m going to be so goddamned depressed when he’s done.
Nobody could possibly live up to him in the slightest. Feel sorry for the poor bastard that is our next QB in (hopefully) 15 years [Reply]
