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]

He'll have bad games, have a bad year, have the entire offense turn into a ground and pound running attack with timely throws while the defense shines. He doesn't care. He'll adapt and do whatever you say if he believes it will lead to a win. And he's still Him. He'll demand the ball when he needs to deliver the kill shot.
I've never experienced such an odd, steady confidence about a player, no matter the circumstances.
He's an underrated leader, just like he's an underrated runner. I believe his parents and grandparents deserve a lot of credit for his positive attitude. Some of it is genetic, and some of it comes from raising him the right way too.
Andy & Spags are really positive guys too. I think having such a positive attitude from the 3 primary guys leading the team must have a pretty big trickle down effect on the rest of the team. Helps explain why this team never gives up. We see other teams give up all the time. [Reply]

If we get that version of Mahomes the rest of the season then this team is damn near unbeatable.
Yeah I thought he looked good.
I hated the play call on the pick. Two holds (one tacky) in a row and we dial up something deep from our 2 yard line. Even if the protection holds up, we’re hoping that the refs don’t find something else to penalize there. [Reply]
“ With some diminished weaponry and instability at tackle, Mahomes has thrown a league-high 23 interceptions over his last 23 regular-season games (since the start of 2023). He has the fifth-lowest sack rate but has taken the second-most hits among quarterbacks (136). He ranks 24th in passer rating over that span, 13th in EPA per pass play and eighth in passing touchdowns. He’s still a unanimous Tier 1 quarterback — in the middle of this uneven stretch, he won his third Super Bowl MVP — but the abrupt change in statistical profile is hard to ignore.” [Reply]
