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]
The unknown is what is exciting. We have seen the same script for 5 years. It will be fun again to not dreadfully see what's coming because you have seen it time and time again. [Reply]

Alex Smith had four INT against the Colts his rookie year and only threw one touchdown for the season he ended it with 11 interceptions.
Alex Smith only had 3 seasons with 20+ touchdowns. I bet Patrick Mahomes II doesn't throw under 20 touchdowns a season the next ten years of his career baring injury. [Reply]
Interceptions are overrated. Who gives a fuck if you're on the opposing 40 yard line and you throw a pick 15 yards downfield on 3rd and long. It's essentially an incompletion and a touchback on the punt.
If it is 4th and 10 and you throw a pick thirty yards downfield, you actually helped your field position. It's part of the reason why the metrics say never punt, just always go for it. [Reply]

The pick in the first half was a really dumb throw though.
Paxton Lynch threw interceptions to Kansas City scrubs:-)
All our starters were on the bench and Lynch still couldn't get it done.
Why is a Bronco fan in a Mahomes thread anyway? I don't go to Denver sites to trash Lynch, because he doesn't deserve it. Everyone knows he sucks.

Those interceptions can be returned for scores. The offense is not designed to stop a DB with the ball. Atleast a punt return unit is built with the intention of stopping speedy ballcarriers [Reply]

EDIT: He MIGHT throw 15 INT's.
Pat won't get a chance to start 16 games. once he locks up home field advantage they'll probably rest him in week 17. I still say he throws less than 15 interceptions. [Reply]
Nothing about Trubisky's games this year impressed me to warrant this. Mahomes single game impressed me far more than Trubisky.
In another year or two when they do this again, Mahomes will be #1. Who knows where Watson and his plastic knee is going to place. Trubisky has a better shot now with Nagy than he did his previous coaching staff. [Reply]
