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 have a friend who is a die hard Giants fan...and his son...is a Patrick Mahomes fan. So much so he is making his dad take him to the Chiefs vs Vikings game lol.
My boss shared a family photo at a meeting. They're from the Minneapolis area, so he and his wife are big Vikings fans. The photo was the entire family at the huge comeback win against Indy last year. All of them in Vikings jerseys, except his youngest son. Who has a Mahomes jersey. Chiefs weren't even playing and the kid was like, "I'm not putting on any loser jersey!" [Reply]
These are almost always in situation where they KNOW we are going to pass. And hes still that good. Further evidence of why we should never ever try to run the ball, at least if we are worried about winning the game. [Reply]

I knew Mahomes was gonna be a Hall of Famer when soon after he was drafted, someone asked what his favorite type of throw is and he said "touchdown throws". [Reply]

Was hoping someone was gonna say this. This board complained multiple times that our offense was too 1-note and Defenses knew they didn't have to respect the run game.
The moment Pacheco stepped into the starting role, our offense improved. [Reply]

That’s just BWillie. He’s long beat the drum that pass plays net you higher EPA/play than run plays; therefore, you should never choose to run the ball.
It’s such a ridiculously oversimplified, uninformed take. There’s not really much point in even engaging him on it.
Andy Reid, offensive guru and notorious lover-of-the-forward-pass, still calls run plays at about a 40% clip. That’s all you need to know. [Reply]

Go back and watch the playoff game against JAX, we don't win that game without PAC going off the drive after Mahomes injury. [Reply]
I think the idea of 'establishing the run' is outdated and ridiculous.
But I think having it in your toolbox for situational football is a good thing. Maybe that's an injury to your QB or WRs. Maybe it's a late-game bleed the clock situation. Or it's defense specific where they're pulling their safeties back, sticking in Nickel and daring you to run it at them.
But it's so secondary to the passing game that I can't bring myself to give a shit about it. If anything we do to help the running game detracts from our ability to pass the football - don't do that thing. [Reply]
