Maybe it's just the insane amount of talent around him now. He didn't have this kind of talent at Texas Tech, and they didn't run the ball much.
Being in a close game isn't pressure on him either. He was constantly behind at Tech. I'm just thinking those two things have made him a ****ing superman now and there's no going back. It's a perfect storm. Don't get me wrong, Mahomes is a stud, but he's not supposed to be this good this early. But he hasn't had this kind of talent or environment before and it's just bringing out the best. It's kind of like if you had taken Warren Moon out of Houston and put him on the 49ers. He would have blown the **** up instead of just having two or three career years. |

Someone who is paid to be a football analyst should be basing his analysis on what he sees with his own eyes and not some vague code. You could almost see that Nick Wright was a little incredulous that he couldn't get either of them to even acknowledge seeing anything special in Mahomes. |

Mahomes Raw Total Quarterback Rating against pressure has been 74.0 (the league average is about 50 on all passes and 20 versus pressure), compared with Smith’s 31.3 mark last year.
So PM's pressure rating in 54 points higher than league average and 43 points higher than Smiths... Jesus... |

The kid was put in an absolutely perfect situation to succeed. He’s got all the studs around him to take pressure off early in his career. By the time KC loses some of their offensive firepower, Mahomes will likely have the mental side of the game down at an elite level, especially based on what we’ve seen from him early. At that point he’ll be making guys like Robinson look like Sammy Watkins for half the price.

We need to stop talking about his tendencies. Now.

It is, of course, also true that spending a full year learning how to prepare and scout the enemy with AS11 was important. Nobody starts this fast. Nobody plays this well this soon. The arm is one thing, the vision and his obvious understanding of both the offensive scheme and the defensive counters ... those are something else entirely. Pundits (aka Dumbfounded Idiots) are saying he'll regress, and surely he will. But he won't regress like Wishkins or Dik. When he does, it will be a 10 or 20 percent decrease in efficiency - not a crash. He's that good. FAX |

While not to the level of the talent he has access to with the Chiefs, Tech had plenty of talent on offense. There are 4 receivers he played with at Tech in the NFL (3 Active rosters, 1 practice squad). Sophomore year, he had a 1400 yard rusher behind him (Active on NFL roster). It was the defense at Tech that let him down. |

That's like Mahomes lining up at Tech with Saquon Barkley, John Ross, Jake Butt and Dede Westbrook. Also I just noticed Mahomes led all of college football in total yards in 2016. No shit? ![]() |

I think SO many people underrate his mind.
This kid is sharp, boys. It just seems that any sort of situation he’s thrown in, he wil not only succeed, but thrive. The way he’s recognizing defenses at this EARLY point in his career just blows my mind. SO many QBs with big arms just didn’t have either the intelligence or desire to learn and truly understand how an opposing defense works. Mahomes has the drive AND the intelligence AND the special athletic ability. Just watching him speak and reading about what he’s like as a person is really what sold me on him, even prior to the draft. You can tell he’s not only a special athlete, but a special person.
