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 NFL LOVES players like Patrick Mahomes and wants them blowing up, and tossing in an "Andy Reid wins a ring at last" storyline is icing on the cake.
It would be a great story.
It’s extremely difficult thinking that he won’t be good this year. This might be the best supporting cast in the league.
Look at what Jared Goff did with quality coaching and an offense full of weapons. It’s extremely favorable for a young QB to play in that situation. [Reply]

Everybody needs to look at 6:34 in this video. That’s the formation for the pitch play Andy ran a lot early last year, except he added a wrinkle for Tyreek to run behind the QB instead of in front with an RPO looking fake handoff.
Also this looks like the play that Hitchens blasted West into the concussion protocol. Goddamn that guy is gonna be legit in the middle. [Reply]
That video looked pretty solid to me. I mostly skipped the 7 on 7 periods but for team, he got the ball out quick and decisively for the most part. Not that it means a ton either way but he showed some important skills there, just as he did last December.

I know this is the Pat Mahomes thread, but damn, we can't be serious about keeping Cam Erving as our starting LG, can we?
Most guys are doing their jobs in protection. They definitely get overwhelmed when Bob Sutton sends the fucking house, but how many OLs can contain extra blitzers when they're flying off the edges like that?
Except Erving. I consistently see his man getting position on him and pushing him back into the seal of the pocket. [Reply]

See here's the difference between Pat and a guy like RGIII. Health issues aside both have all the talent in the world but RGIII struggles to make quick reads like these.
Where Pat is likely getting into trouble is sometimes he makes too quick of a decision. Totally normal for a young QB. [Reply]

Man if Erving is our starter at guard then I hope Henne is ready. Its fucking inexcusable that guy is starting. It would be like playing Jordan Black at guard.
Where Erving MIGHT be serviceable is at backup center. Wasnt he an all American center in college? [Reply]
