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]

You need to visit to the 49'ers board with this and see how it goes. [Reply]

I'd go out on a limb to say if Kelce was hurt for a few games and then Mahomes got concussed, the likelihood of losing consecutive games would increase a bit. [Reply]

Injuries are part of the game. So, there's always that limb for you to go out on. [Reply]

I'll try to call out all possible nuance in future posts and not assume people can rub a couple brain cells together and figure it out all by themselves.

⁷'so forth' is a vague term because this is just an example
°playing consecutive playoff/SB caliber teams could lessen this effect
⁴'Good' is relative, a team could just be playing poor competition
⁹'shit' is a relative term as some teams don't run up the score on some teams, and in this case doesn't mean a team will play perfectly after a loss, either. [Reply]

You want to talk about our lack of ability to get playmakers, this is a contributing factor when he was due for 50m, and got to 61m average over the next 3 years instead.

Not sure where you are getting those numbers. He was making around $40M per year for this time period and now it’s $52M per year. [Reply]

I see, you mean cap hits for 2024 and later. Thought you meant 2023 to 2025. His cash flow is $52M per year from 2023 to 2026. Previously it was around $40M per year. The simple reason is that he was drastically underpaid the previous 5 years and they’re fixing it. [Reply]

They restructured in September(ish) and loaded more money into the next 3 years.
And yeah, it's gonna make it that much harder to put weapons around him or keep the defense intact. It is what it is. This is why it's hard to win championships with guys in their 'big boy' contracts under center.
I mean you pay it and be fine with it. He's worth everything he makes. But you're working without a net doing it this way. When your 2nd round pick is Rashee Rice, you're okay. When it's Skyy Moore - well you'd better hope your HoF tight end has more gas in the tank.

Please do.
And please don't make assumptions...
*If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that sometimes our assumptions and preconceived notions are wrong, and therefore, our interpretation of events, and future events are incorrect.
But this can't possibly apply to you, because you're never incorrect. AmIright? [Reply]
