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]

That's an interesting list. Allen gonna be way ahead of some GOAT level players when it's all said and done. Mahomes is unbelievable...and still underrated. [Reply]

Yeah, Allen is one of the best to ever play the position, all of the stats support that
Just picked the wrong era to play in with the best of all time by far [Reply]

Allen is Phil Mickelson to Mahomes’ Tiger Woods.
Like Phil, Allen might get his one day. But also like Phil, he is a great player who has misfortune of playing at the same time as someone who’s simply better than him. [Reply]

Fortunately for him, he has the national media to carry the torch for him. Same thing with Lamar, Burrow, and whoever else. Mahomes could win 10 Super Bowls to 0 for the others and the media will still find a way to downplay him compared to the others. [Reply]

Nobody is even close to Mahomes, nobody has ever been close to Mahomes
prime lemiuex has 1 season close to gretzky’s level at his peak. gretzky’s dominance over his peers was unprecedented. it’d be like if mahomes was throwing 70 tds a season while no one else was cracking 30 [Reply]

Good analogy, Phil ended up getting his majors eventually and odds are Allen will have his moment at some point

Because sports talk shows would be pretty boring if every show they went on and said, “What can we say, this guy is clearly the best and there’s no debate.”
I feel bad for a lot of those guys because it is really hard to do their jobs and create a debate when Mahomes is so clearly the best. They have to find a way to make it look closer than it is to create compelling television and that can’t be easy. [Reply]

That's why they say f*** it and go for the clicks. [Reply]

Easiest job in the world. Getting paid money to spout a bunch of total bullshit about meaningless sports. Nothing productive about that industry, but they still get paid really nice money for doing it. [Reply]
