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 man forced 24 Turnovers over 3 seasons by himself. You don't just lose that kind of production and pretend it won't be felt.
Oh, I agree with that 100%.
Where there's room for deliberation is as to whether he would have remained an asset to the team due to the contempt he harbored for his situation. His physical talents were indeed very good but I think he was at the point where he was willing to be the biggest SOB possible just to have himself removed from KC which in turn would have led to him being a bigger liability than an asset.
Think angry wife who wants a divorce kind of contempt that I think was his next move. [Reply]
We aren't going to miss Marcus Peters and I'm not one of the people who cares about his attitude or anthem crap.
The fact is he covered a lot of really crappy coverage and zero tackling with strips and picks. Those are huge but in the long run you're better with solid coverage and the ability to stop the run. [Reply]

Study up on what a good corner's assignments actually are? Look how the Chiefs defense performed when he was out? Stop posting whiny bitch gifs? [Reply]
We won't necessarily need the turnovers when Mahomes and the gang of TD thieves are shoving it up the opponents ass like a Jap with an air compressor hose [Reply]

Prisco is a Chief's hater. He picks us to lose almost every week and rarely has anything positive to say.
Pete always has a gem of a quote like "The loss of Hali and Gaines will just be too much for this team, plus choosing unproven players without NFL experience in the draft, I don't see them winning very many games." [Reply]

Turnovers do more for winning games than any amount of solid play will, it's why playmakers get paid.
Todays game has such razor thin margins if his turnovers aren't replaced at all and this team ends up creating 8-10 less turnovers that could be the difference in being a 10-6 team that goes 7-9.
Those are the facts, you hope other aspects can make up for it but it is something to overcome. [Reply]
