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'm surprised it's 40% overall (especially since 2001).
Google says in the past couple seasons, any given drive results in a touchdown ~22% of the time and points 37% of the time... and the TD stat only rises to 30% if the ball is at/inside the 50 to begin the drive.
The playoffs have a far higher percentage of clutch QBs and good offenses, of course, but it's still only 60 seconds... plus the best not-Mahomes QBs are only 50% means the rest of the league is probably close to that 40% number (as opposed to Brady, Brees, Mahomes, etc; all being 75% and then the rest of the league being trash). And it's not like there are enough great QBs to fill in a playoff bracket, and many of them play each other in the early rounds.
Maybe out of those 125, 90 only needed a FG. :-) [Reply]
Yeah. Mahomes, like other some other great ones, is lazy. Hard for him to get up for the Raiders on Xmas. Or some regular season game. He is smart enough to not sacrifice his body in these games as he should. He knows his value but when the game is on the line and the lights are shining bright he takes up not only his physical ability but his mental acumen as well. [Reply]
FYI - the Florio video is actually a little different than his usual B.S. He points out that Mahomes is happy because for the next 4 years he'll have more actual cash paid to him than any other QB. He of course neglects to mention what Mahomes himself always states which is that he values having a good team around him that can win championships. [Reply]

That's why I'm not watching it.
He can't get it through his thick stupid cynical brain that Mahomes is different in all ways. He's significantly better than the mortal QBs. His contract is different. His endorsements are different. And all those other QBs can claim all they want about giving it their all to win championships, but Mahomes actually lives it by letting the Chiefs move his future money around like this.
For Florio, he thinks every athlete needs to operate the exact same way, and the best ones should always be trying to top the other guys. And that's not how it works with Mahomes. [Reply]
