fewer completions

more yards

No it was a bad throw. He underthrew it instead of leading Hill towards the sideline where only he had a shot at it.

The throw and catch put Hill in the concussion protocol. That shouldn't happen.

I agree with the mindset of pump the brakes a little. What I love is he seems comfortable and he's developed tremendously. I think Reid did a masterful job of getting to work within an offense. I almost wonder if he was a bit too dialed down at times. He still takes time to make some reads and checked down a bit. Exactly what you'd expect from a young qb. But boy when the game really slows down for him (and I think it will) he's good now, but he could be disgustingly good.

We know Pittsburgh will blanket tyreek. Not that it will help much. And they're going to put pressure on mahomes so he'll have to have a much quicker release and probably freelance a bit more. I think he's up to the test but we'll see.

The old guard is about to change when it comes to QB ranks in the AFC. If Mahomes continues to get better and doesn't get inj, he could be near or at the top of that list.

DEN (Keenum) - I don't think he'll ever be anything more than average
LAC (Rivers) - He won't be playing for too much longer, they'll have to find his replacement soon.
OAK (Carr) - He could be one of the few to challenge Mahomes
NE (Brady) - See Rivers.
MIA (Tannehill) - I don't think he's ever going to take the next leap. Which sucks for MIA, they have a ton of $ invested into him.
NYJ (Darnold) - Too early to tell, but so far Mahomes looks head n shoulders above Darnold.
BUF (Allen) - See Darnold.
BAL (Flacco) - I think BAL is at a crossroads here. They want to get rid of Flacco sooner than later, they just don't know when.
CIN (Dalton) - Probably the most average QB in the NFL. Won't leave til Marvin leaves.
PIT (Ben) - See Rivers and Brady.
CLE (Taylor) - He's not the long term answer, but I could see Baker Mayfield being one of Mahomes rivals in the ranks for yrs to come. Guy's a gamer.
JAX (Bortles) - He's very average, but their D will keep them competitive.
IND (Luck) - If he can stay healthy he's got the ability to be one of the best. That's a big if, though.
HOU (Watson) - People are so high on this guy. I don't see it. He had a lot of prayers answered last season. He's good. We'll see, he could be in that discussion.
TEN (Mariota) - He could be in that discussion, even though he didn't play particularly well in the opener. Titans offense didn't do shit all game.

Mahomes has one thing Carr, Mariota, Luck and Watson lack.

A big fat genius whispering sweet nothings in his ear.

He underthrew it because he got hit.
[Reply]

Going to have to cover the whole field with Mahomes.
[Reply]

Luck is probably the best bet but he’s gotta stay healthy and get some help around him.
[Reply]

Get used to seeing that.
[Reply]

Should be a little harder to game plan against. And open the run and screens and stuff.

I posted in the gameday thread I was literally crying after the TD to Sherman and about 10 other people alluded to it too. Crazy. It was really the 3rd and long to Hill that set it up for me. So used to a QB who never makes that throw, and so cathartic to just let it go.




[Reply]

Was sitting on my couch and I remember thinking, 3rd and long, this is why we drafted this guy, this is the reason we needed this guy.. and also I knew that he’s consistently showed the ability to convert in those situations already. Then boom. That happened. :-)

Damn Alex was a true dink and dunk passer. So glad he is gone
