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]
Drew Brees was great on Mahomes and the "true brilliance" he developed.
"In the past I used to see him as a freelance player, doesn't have his feet set...it didn't look super rhythmic. The more I watched him the more I recognized that I think he truly creates his own rhythm." pic.twitter.com/DAcuTanrhe

He is DaVinci. Mozart. Einstein. One of a kind. [Reply]

He has some sort of spacial awareness most humans just don't possess. [Reply]

This dude, man, I don’t know what you even say if he wins this.
He’s a living legend at the age of 29 if he wins this. The undeniable living GOAT.
It’s already over. It is.
He'll be a living legend at 29 for sure.
The thing that sucks is he'll always have the 0-2 postseason record with Brady held over his head. Even if he gets to 7 rings. I've kinda made peace with that. He'll never have unanimous GOAT recognition, but he'll always be the MJ of this era, the one who catapulted the Chiefs from eternal mediocrity into the upper class of NFL franchises. He's our savior.

Before Patrick Brees was continued the gold standard for QB mechanics. Cassel and Smith worked with two different coaching staffs in offseason studying film to learn/emulate Bree’s’ mechanics.
Then Mahomes came along and completely wiped away the etch-a-sketch. [Reply]

Except that all of these kids trying to do Mahomes things are all going to fail, because they're not him.
I think we're going to see a bunch of THAT for a long time.
No, for most people (almost EVERYONE), Brees is what they SHOULD be emulating. [Reply]

Well, I do think there’s another side effect - and that’s that kids with Patrick’s arm talent are now less likely to be shutdown by that redass hometown legend middle school coach who’ll make his QB run gassers after successfully side arming a pass for a touchdown. Mahomes was fortunate he started football late, had the oversight and support of his pro-player dad, and never ran into a complete dickhead coach who tried to turn him into a QB with bread and butter mechanics at 14.
Caleb Williams is already showing that this pipeline may now be open wider than it used to be. Wiliams, Aaron Rodgers, and Mahomes will argue Aaron Rodgers was the trailblazer, but inarguably Patrick took it to another level.
For 95% of QB’s you are 100% right, however. [Reply]

Don't worry about the 0-2 vs Brady. Brady was 0-2 against Eli Manning in the Super Bowl. Patrick's 2 losses to Brady are much more easy to accept than Brady's 2 losses to Eli. [Reply]

Brady beat Mahomes’s most vulnerable teams in the postseason.
Mahomes also won 2 Lombardis with Brady still in the League.
While Mahomes was good enough to drag his most vulnerable teams to a collision course with Brady, Brady wasn’t good enough to drag his vulnerable teams to a collision course with Mahomes.
Why is it a positive for Brady that he got bounced in the playoffs early when Mahomes had his best teams? [Reply]
