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]

Should be easy money if he plays all 16 games. [Reply]
Farvre catches a lot of shit from fans, and he did make some terrible decisions over the years, but he was undoubtedly one of the top 5 QBs of all time.
Also, the comparisons that should be made should be based on Talent and ability alone.
Mahommes is a humble young man.
Farve is a guy who's explanation for why he attempted throws was: "because I can"
People will see the same kind of plays being made by Mahommes in college and determine that he plays with same mind set, but Mahommes played that way because it was the only way his team had any shot to win, on account of his defense allowing points on nearly every possession.
I think we will still see this kind of thing resurface early in his career but he will not be arrogant about it and will work to clean it up.
I think he has the tools, intelligence and character to be one of the best of all time, but there are so many variables that only time will tell.
Top 5
Montana
Unitas
Brady
Elway
Marino
Though I can't even begin to imagine what Unitas and Marino would do in the modern NFL. [Reply]

Difference is when Favre first came into the league, he was a huge partier who weighed 250, while Mahomes was a "sponge" who wanted to learn everything he could
Mahome definitely has the "Farve" element of "Because I can", the difference between the two is that I think Ried is going to be able to influence Mahomes from the start........
People need to understand WHY Mahomes has been compared to Farve. It's because of throws like this....
Let me break down why this throw is "Special"
- He is running to his LEFT
- He throws ACROSS his body
- He throws it OFF his back foot and unbalanced (didn't step into it)
- He throws it from the (44) yard line to about (7) yard deep into the end zone....... THAT IS A 51 YARD ****ING THROW
He literally threw this ball "BECAUSE HE COULD" [Reply]

IDGAF about Carr, and think he is currently overrated, but he isn't wearing makeup. I'm not sure if you are being serious or not, though. He just has a crazy stupid amount of eyelashes. His brother does too, but he has less creepy looking eyes. [Reply]

During Gruden's one-on-one with Mahomes prior to the draft, Gruden showed this play multiple times to Mahomes and basically said: This throw is one of the best I've ever seen. You were showing off a little when you did this, weren't you? c'mon be honest, you were showing off a little
Mahomes him & hawed for a couple of minutes and said : Yes, sir. [Reply]

Now I agree with this completely. It's the type of throws he CAN make that is why we see the Favre comparisons. He adlibs and pulls some crazy throws out of his ass and it works. [Reply]
Though I can't even begin to imagine what Unitas and Marino would do in the modern NFL.
Among your five, I would say...
Montana is #1. Agreed.
Marino is #2. We're pretty close.
Unitas is #3. We're sympatico.
Steve Young is #4.
Tom Brady is #5, even though there's been significant cheating there.
Peyton Manning is close, but he was a Bronco at the end.
