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]

If Mahomes and this offense play lights out this year maybe he will get a shot at a head coaching position in 2019 and Reid can promote Kafka to OC.
Yeah, but it actually causes a problem beyond that.
Bienemy is one of if not THE best RB coach in the NFL, and now he won't be doing what he's great at. He'll be doing something that RB/OL coaches don't traditionally transition well into. [Reply]

Do you have any stats to back that up? I mean even Reid came up as an OL coach. Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
Anyone doubting Bienemy is simply wrong. He may very well be the next HC of this football team. He’s a great football mind a phenomenal leader/motivator. [Reply]

No stats. Just a casual observation of the field. It seems obvious but I could be wrong.
Go look at the top OC's and offensive minds in football.
Now many came up as WR/TE/QB coaches, and how many came up as OL/RB coaches.
If you want, we can play in real time.
Keep in mind I said 'traditionally' not 'absolutely always" There's a big difference. All I really would need to prove is that most high level offensive coaches come from a passing game background. Is it really worth it? Do you really think that's inaccurate? Is that really a valuable way to spend my time? Demonstrating something that's going to overwhelmingly be in my favor? If you really think most high level offensive coaches come from OL and RB backgrounds, that's fine. I'm not really that dedicated to demonstrating it.
I mean we'll need more than a few exceptions. Plus, for the record... Andy was never actually an offensive coordinator in Green Bay, but he does have a high level of offensive understanding from a OL coach background.
Doesn't really address my concern of effectively losing the best RB coach in the game. Unless he's a great OC, and I hope he is, we don't benefit. [Reply]
I fully expect Mahomes to ‘set the league on fire’ (words of Louis Riddick) so long as he remains healthy this season. He’s just got too much going in his favor right now. Loaded at all skill positions with elite playmakers, average to above average offensive line that will face light boxes, Andy Reid, and Mahomes attributes as is...
I see a big, big season ahead for him and the team. He is not a true rookie. Kid knows a good chunk of the playbook, certainly more than he did a year ago. He’ll be focusing on his reads and chucking it to a receiving corp that very few defenses can try to contain man for man. [Reply]

This.
The guy is a phenomenal coach and an even better motivator.
Anyone going to camp should spend an hour just watching the man work. [Reply]
I love the rating. The last 10+ years playing Madden on and off, I always traded for, or drafted a replacement QB right away. I try to keep it realistic so I never seemed to net anything above 73+ very often. Maybe a little better with Smith the past few years. [Reply]
