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]

Win or lose, we are developing a QBOTF.
There is no more treading water. We are swimming FORWARD.
Not only that but THE QB of the future. Imagine not getting jumped by Denver and taking Paxton Lynch.... disgusting. We got THE guy and couldn't be happier. [Reply]

He's got far better physical tools, mental discipline, and work ethic than Johnny Manziel, but he's going to keep getting those comparisons drawn to him until he shows that his ability to throw on the run and improvise is just one tool (a DEADLY one, yes) in his QB toolbox. There's nothing wrong with preferring it, but it's certainly can't be the ONLY thing he uses.
It will take time, but he will officially be "ready" when he's equally comfortable in both spots-- from the pocket and on the run.
I agree.
He looked good in the pocket a few times last night, mainly with the strike to Hill and Chesson. [Reply]
