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! Last edited by Dante84; 05-17-2017 at 09:40 AM.. |

If you understand the hermetic principle of cause and effect...Smith being KCs best option @ QB for 4 years allowed them to wait and get the exact QB they were looking for. That patience looks to be paying off in landing a generational QB...Chiefs could very well rule the AFC in a few years. Smith is a class act...in a conference with Luck/Ben/Brady/Manning (HGH)....he just wasn't good enough. Nothing but respect for him... Last edited by BlackOp; 09-19-2018 at 11:36 PM.. |

I just find it a little hard to believe that Mahomes couldn't learn how to read NFL defenses from his QB coach. If not, then maybe he could learn from the QB whisperer himself, Andy Reid. It seems to me like that would be a probable outcome whether Alex was there or not. In my humble opinion, Pat Mahomes is destroying opposing defenses because he is an elite passer, an elite thrower, and an elite decision maker. He thrives under pressure and will do anything to win. All of those things are innate and are completely independent of Alex's tutelage. I like Alex as a person. I am happy he has accumulated generational wealth for his family. I am happy he's charitable and is making a real difference. I wish him all the best. In Washington, D.C.

Watson was a “winner” and “leader” because he won in college. Mahomes couldn’t win anything in college therefore doesn’t possess those qualities. When Mahomes’ teams failed its because of him not leading his teams to bowl games. His successes now though are not his, but a product of Reid and the talent around him. That narrative is annoying as well but people like Bayless completely seem to believe it and ignore their eyes. No one wants to admit that they may have missed who the best QB was. |

You don't have to denigrate one person in order to elevate another. You really don't. Sure, The Human Trebuchet had to absorb everything to which he was exposed in order to progress so quickly. Nobody's saying he didn't. He obviously did. But you don't grow a strong oak with no acorn. For, as every child learns at a young age, when you plant the acorn and the nasty, bitch squirrel steals and consumes your acorn, the tree grows out his ass. Then, the nasty squirrel runs around with a tree sticking out his ass while the other squirrels scoff at his tree ass until the nasty, thieving squirrel dies of total shame. I mean, get real. FAX |

If you think our defense is bad, theirs appeared to be far worse. Actually, I think that's one of the reasons I have absolutely no doubt that Mahomes will be successful. He really doesn't seem to give a damn about how much he has to score in order to win. In fact, he's accustomed to overcoming poor defensive play ... always having to respond to a score ... always having to overcome poor field position ... always having to fight uphill ... the whole megillah. He didn't care about it at Tech and he doesn't seem to care about it now ... and it showed last Sunday. FAX |

So you know, this post of yours fairly reeks of a somewhat bitchy little personage. And the post which you dislike so extremely was actually posted before I read your comment from before. (We're not necessarily operating in real time here, you see.) Hopefully, you can brain wrap that part. Now, before I go ... Did I mention that AS11 mentored Mahomes and that was a good thing? FAX |

Looks like he's flipped on Mahomes, have fun on that broken Jimmy G bandwagon.

I have some advice for him...and it's VERY important. DO NOT stare directly into Garoppolo's eyes...his dreamy, luscious, hot sex, movie star, George Clooney eyes....They will Medusa your ass...and you will be left endlessly repeating his name like a zombie and making stupid-ass predictions. His whole rationale for picking 'Jimmy G" was he needed it more to satisfy the off-season hype....while simultaneously saying he's looked like shit so far. Guess what Timmy, the self-proclaimed "internet prophet"...this happens when teams have had all off-season to pick your dreamboat's game apart. Last edited by BlackOp; 09-20-2018 at 01:35 AM.. |

He is going to lead some epic comebacks in his career. Alex Smith against SD in the home opener from 2016? Mahomes will probably have 1-2 games per year like that. |
