Patrick is definitely more talented than any of those guys and maybe most who have ever played the game. But he doesn't seem to have it between the ears right now and that's the scary part. I guess I see mental problems as more worrisome that a mechanical or physical problem.

Get outta here, Pete.
Guys with mechanical issues at QB rarely ever pan out at the NFL level. They can either throw the ball like an NFL QB or they can't. Yeah, there's a handful of exceptions but by an large, guys that don't throw the ball well don't make it.
And the mental issues have to be split in two.
Sure, mental issues coming out of college, for a guy that has never proven it at the NFL level, that's a BIG red flag.
However, we have 3 full seasons of Patrick Mahomes playing, not at a Pro Bowl level, not at an All Pro level, not even at an MVP level but at an historic HALL OF FAME level. He's broken over 50 records and some of them aren't even close.
He has the yips. They absolutely can, and will, go away at some point.
