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]
Just pointing out that you're a giant hypocrite, that's all. You don't get to tell people to leave Alex alone now that he's traded and gone and then go off half-cocked into the Mahomes thread and (unprovoked, mind you) and talk about Clay's treatment of Alex from the past compared to how he treats Mahomes.
Well, I mean, you can. But it just makes you a giant hypocrite, that's all.

Then they could've drafted a more accurate, more powerful arm in 2017 without having to trade up. That pick will most likely cost that front office their jobs.
The guy who passed on Mahomes already got fired [Reply]

Hypocrite.
It's stupid because I would never expect any QB to make that kind of throw with perfect accuracy.
But Mahomes gets full credit for it because he actually attempts it, completes it, and creates a positive gain for his receiver because he does things other QBs won't, or can't. [Reply]

Alex Smith was straight garbage at 22. Alex Smith couldn't move the ball against Tennessee when we needed it the most. His absence is a welcome change
Bring on Mahomes
Smith was the anti scoring machine. He did well last year going long to Hill but our red zone percentage was still crap and bottom of the league. Hes fools gold. Mahomes will increase out scoring a ton. [Reply]

Hopefully Mahomes does the same
Amen, we both know it's a big part of this offensive scheme.
The hype on this board is off the charts. Which is historically normal of ANY 1st round rookie QB. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because the organization clearly trusts him or they wouldn't have moved on from Alex Smith so fast, but he very well could be Jay Cutler. We don't know how he will react under the lights, versus NFL defenses.
His problem won't be throwing TDs or being aggressive. He's going to be good if he limits his interceptions. That is literally going to be it for him. He could be a chucker who is too aggressive and struggles to make the right decision. It's very possible. It's also possible he's the next Brett Farve or Ben Roethlisberger. We just don't know. But at least, he has a high ceiling. That is all you can ask. [Reply]

I totally agree with the bolded and have been saying the same thing since he was drafted. [Reply]
