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 did alright. He got after the QB a few times, made a few run stops too IIRC. I think he will end up being at least better than Dee Ford. There is alot of natural ability, size and strength he has that cant be taught. [Reply]

Agreed. I was hoping to land Cooper Kupp in last years draft. I was tired of him killing Montana State and Montana so I hoped he would end up a Chief. [Reply]

Weird to think he is only a year older than Wentz.
He’s a winner, but Mahomes has more upside. Watching Mahomes just just see stuff most guys including Jimmy G can’t. Jimmy G had 8 TDs and 5 picks in his 5 starts. That doesn’t blow you away, but he had such an effect on the entire team because they believe. I think Mahomes can have a similar impact, but that’s TBD. Like I said I like all these guys. The QB position seems to be in good hands. In the end a lot of it will come down to who gets the most rings, fair or not, so time will tell.

It was a solid debut for Chiefs’ rookie QB Mahomes. While he still had a lot of his college-style “scramble and try to make a play” game in him, he made some truly special throws. His across-the-body throw with 1:44 left in the game was one of the better throws you’ll see all year. Mahomes was much better when not under pressure, completing 14-of-19 passes for 174 yards compared to 8-of-16 for 110 yards and a pick when pressured.

I saw that but I disagree with him.
The play was designed to go wherever the safety 'sent' the throw. When the safety dropped back, it opened up the 1st read. The double move at the top is only the read if the 1st guy is covered (because it's the longer developing route).
Mahomes got the look he needed and had the open 1st read just as he hit the back of his drop. He makes a good throw and it's a big gain. You don't pass on a 15+ yard throw on the off chance that a 20 yard throw just happens to open up. There's simply no way to know if that's going to happen and if it doesn't, you've fucked that entire play up. Now you're looking at a possible sack that takes you out of FG range.
What Mahomes did is EXACTLY what we want to see him doing - he played within the offense and made the right throw at the right time. He just missed. Shit happens.
What that guy is doing is the epitome of Monday Morning Quarterbacking and it's pretty stupid. [Reply]

I said almost the exact same thing when this vid was posted earlier - I really disagree with this guy's take on that play. The inside route is open when Mahomes hits the top of his drop, and the safety has yet to commit either way. Absolutely the right decision, just a poor throw. I'll bet he hits that 9/10 times.

I agree. The read was correct, it was just a bad throw. [Reply]
