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 am not remotely worried though. Playoffs are the only thing that matters and I will only get worried when he plays like shit in the post season.
While true what I bolded, the weak link is the LT which is the most critical position on the Oline. Not overly concerned as I expect it to improve as the season goes on, but is definitely a position I wish wasn’t a liability at the moment. [Reply]

This is a David Lombardi tweet.
If Brock Purdy can throw it down the field just fine with 8 defenders being dropped, then why isn't Mahomes doing it? [Reply]

It's almost like losing your top 2 receivers might matter more than losing a guy who was an OC for a year, was fired, and couldn't get another role like that in the entire league. Let alone one as a head coach.
