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]
Ryan Leaf on Cowherd's show says he LOVES the situation Mahomes is in... not surprising, but coming from a guy with his perspective, can't be bad. [Reply]
^^^^^^
Guess you have to read the thread for yourself before responding. You`ll see several posts of folks happy with Kiper and Grudens excitement over the Mahome pick [Reply]

Kiper also thought Manziel was the best QB in 2014.
Kiper thought Ricky Stanzi would have best career out of 2011 class
Loved Ryan Leaf in 1998
Said Jamarcuss Russell was "Elway-like" and a top 5 NFL QB
Loved Jimmy Clausen
Sorry but this had to be pointed out
Point is, before handing out a Hall of Fame jacket to Mahome before his first rookie mini camp, let`s just wait and see lol :-)
Pat has a lot of work to do in order to succeed, but one thing he is not is a low character person...which was 100% the case for Manziel, Jamarcus Russell, and Ryan Leaf. [Reply]

Mind-blowing. Andy Reid’s offense is highly structured. All it needs is a quarterback who runs the plays properly. (Hence the success they’ve had with Alex Smith.) Mahomes is not that. While uber-talented, Mahomes was a willy-nilly sandlot player at Texas Tech, despite operating in an Air Raid system, which demands quick decisions. He’ll have a lot to learn.

No wonder the Bills owner was pissed
Wouldn't that be something in week 12 against the Bills and Mahomes II is starting and throws to Tyreek with that 27th draft pick covering him and it goes for a touchdown. :-) [Reply]

This is lazy journalism.
Of course it looked like sandlot ball...the kid had to score every drive to give his team a chance to even be in games.
Some of the time it was sandlot ball because Pat bailed on the pocket too soon, but a lot of the time it was sandlot ball because the Tech offensive line was like an open floodgate. He was running for his life many times. Curious to see how he plays with a much better supporting cast. [Reply]
