*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****

[Dante84]

IT ****ING HAPPENED



OP UPDATE:

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!

I agree.

But implying that Mahomes just didn’t have weapons isn’t exactly accurate.

He had a very intriguing trio of WRs and I imagine Veach still would’ve grabbed Juju too.

Need more at RB, but that group of WRs would’ve been more than he had the two previous years.

That's one way to put it. The other would be that it was a complete accident and fluke. He's not the first quarterback to throw a pick or attempt a tackle after doing so.

This year could’ve looked very different if Mahomes gets in rhythm with Rice and Brown early. As teams start adjusting, Worthy then starts to emerge.

I can’t fault Veach too much for the skill players this year. That could’ve/should’ve been a strong group of receivers.

Brown came back 2 months ago and was a non factor mostly. Big disappointment IMO.

It takes time to develop chemistry and all that.

It was probably unrealistic to expect much from him after missing almost the entire season.

He was playing like a ****ing reerun. Full stop. What was it, his 5th interception in 4 games on stupid YOLO balls?

great breakdown on the poor OL play which led directly to some of the horrendous play by Mahomes

I think we’ll all agree that no regular season game is worth Mahomes trying to make another tackle on a pick.

He could just as easily get injured himself and you KNOW there are defensive players looking to destroy him on a block.

He was huge against the Texans and Steelers in the regular season, and against the Bills in the AFC Championship.

I'd like him back.

Quarterbacks throw picks, yes. It does happen on occasion, particularly when you have a LT who can't play the position at a NFL level.

I’d like to see Brown, Worthy, and Rice have a full season together.

And I’d still make sure to draft another.

Keep the pipeline full.

I guess but Hopkins contributed immediately. 2 months should have been long enough IMO.

Would like to see the All 22 to see if he was getting open during the playoffs.

If I remember right, Kelce was open enough on that play. The ball just sailed about 6 feet higher than Mahomes wanted it to. No QB throws a perfect ball every single time. He compounded the problem by attempting to make the tackle, leading to Rice's injury. Very dumb move from Patrick trying to play defense.

Nobody is giving Brown big money.

We should be able to bring him back cheap.

Just jog off the field unless it’s a postseason game that’s in doubt.

Nothing good will come from getting in there.

Shit, look at how Goff got blown up in the Playoffs. All sorts of defensive players are looking for a chance to do that.

Just went back and watched them since I'm in a salty enough mood. 1 of them was just a good play, 1 of them was an absolutely idiotic decision to throw under duress right into a defenders hands (sounds familiar) and 3 of them were just botched passes from completely clean pockets.
