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]
There's a reason Mahomes gets all the Jordan comparisons. People that have an eye for talent know when they're witnessing the GOAT. It's not abour longevity, rings, or anything. Just watch the tape, and and in all the winning, dominance, and clutchness context as support of that. [Reply]

Talent and ability? Talent is the argument you want to make in MJ's favor over LeBron?
You could make an argument that LeBron's competitive drive is not what MJ's was, but certainly not that he lacked any bit of talent/ability. He's the most physically gifted player/athlete we've ever seen in any sport.

Nobody is saying MJ is Brady (who is a complete fraud that never had a peak worthy of being called GOAT). He is not the GOAT in basketball though and that was made clear a while ago. [Reply]

Mahomes is literally going to be chasing a pre-constructed myth his entire career just like LeBron did (and even more so in Brady's case becuase he had no peak of any duration). It's very funny to see how similar it all is. [Reply]

But I don’t think Mahomes will play anywhere near as long as Brady. That’s the most impressive thing about Brady & LeBron in my view. They both managed to play at a very high level for a very long time. [Reply]

I am loath to give a fraud like Brady any praise, but what he did in his 40s was impressive.
Odds are that Mahomes won't play that long, which means he likely will have to be dealing with the bullshit argument that he isn't/wasn't better than Brady because he doesn't have as many rings as him for the rest of his life. [Reply]

After Patrick gets the 3 peat it be great he has an undefeated season which Brady never accomplished [Reply]

And that’s OK. I am hoping he can get a couple more rings, which would put him above Montana & Bradshaw. It’s hard as hell to win championships, especially in the ultimate team sport of football. I don’t take any of it for granted. Cross your fingers and hope the team is able to win some more titles over the next 10 years. Nothing is guaranteed. [Reply]

Yeah I found when I played baseball my brain really was sore from being bored all of the time. [Reply]

Bo Jackson was the most physically gifted player/athlete that i've ever seen. It's a shame his career was cut short due to the hip injury [Reply]

Do you assholes see what you've turned the thread about the greatest QB ever into?
