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]

Now, if you would have said "Jaguars defense" instead of Bortles.....
My comment was sarcastic, I don’t believe in Bortles whatsoever [Reply]

'Alex plus'... never thought of him that way, but damned if it doesnt fit nicely
He is a scaled up model of Smith in many ways, however I was impressed with his transformation in the playoffs... thought he showed tremendous growth [Reply]

The guy in the larger market. The guy with the biggest national presence of anybody headed into that 2017 draft class. The guy people have ingrained in their brains by national media as a "winner."
You don't get it. I don't want second fiddle. I want attention. I want the spotlight. I want the Chiefs to rip the microphone away from the Steelers, Cowboys, and every other team who has been hogging it for the past 20 years, and I want the Chiefs to dominate it for a good several years, this time with OUR star QB.
"I don't care. Just win and I'm happy."
Good for ****ing you. I'm glad simple things make you happy. As for me, if I can get it, I want the full fan experience. I want daily fan blowjobs on NFL Network. I want other fans to bitch and moan like we did about Peyton Manning coverage during his entire NFL career, only 10 times worse. I want a ****ing children's Saturday morning cartoon show that takes the country by storm called "The Adventures of Super Patrick and His Enormous Shlong," starring Morgan Freeman in full frog voice and featuring occasional guest appearances by Andy Reid as Walrus Man.
And I want destruction in our wake. Not just at the expense of our AFC West rivals, but of the entire NFL. And that includes the innocents like Deshaun Watson. He didn't do anything wrong, but he soaked up a ton of draft day coverage of 1st round QBs that should have been devoted 100% to Patrick Mahomes.
And for that, he must die.
I understand the way the world works now. I want to imagine truth and justice and a meritocracy, but the truth is that having a top-tier media darling at quarterback will win games and championships whether they're deserved or not. Officials will make questionable calls in their favor consistently, the league will give them favorable coverage, and everyone will fawn over them.
It's going to happen to some team. That's the way the world works. So let it happen to our team. I don't care if we get sleazy calls in our favor to knock out teams that are outplaying us. I've seen that a hundred times going against us, so it's time to even the score.
So come on down, NFL. Give us all the help we need to make Patrick Mahomes II a household name. [Reply]

I wanted that to keep going the next day. I watched every sports show I could get my hands on to see what they said. And I was (somewhat) disappointed. It was good, but it wasn't perfect. Because Watson was the #1 topic of conversation.
And that sticks out as wrong in my mind. Not morally, but factually. I saw that night. I saw the tweets in which coaches/GMs from the Giants, Saints, Cardinals, and Texans all became sullen and dismayed that Kansas City beat them all to the punch and grabbed Mahomes. I saw the live look-in to the war room in Kansas City, with fist pounding, celebration, smiles, and applause. Then I saw Houston's. Straight faces. Stunned faces. Half smiles. They all looked relieved that they didn't miss out on a QB more than they were excited and pumped for the selection they just made. THAT'S what I remember.
Watching the Cubs win the World Series is the only thing I'd personally place above that night.
When I get to see KC win a Super Bowl I will move the Cubbies to slot #2. [Reply]

People love Watson more than ever bc of what he did last year. If/when Mahomes lights it up, the Chiefs will be huge everywhere.
Just wait until you start seeing Mahomes on commercials every Sunday. [Reply]

Come on. I'm not really invested in this argument either way, but calling GB a small market in NFL terms is pretty disingenuous. GB takes a back seat to few, if any teams, when they are winning and we all know it. [Reply]

Finished the intro last night though. It starts with an all-time classic Jerry Goldsmith tune and segues flawlessly into one of Steve Winwood’s greatest hits.
It also has Nick Wright and Stephen A. Smith in it...oh and Mark Davis and Jon Gruden. :-)
