Folks outside of KC forget what a sturdy dude Mahomes is.
Look at it this way: Derrick Henry - 6'3", 240 lbs and evidently an impossible mountain of a human being to deal with. Patrick Mahomes - 6'3", 230 lbs and evidently some wilting flower that you're going to be able to bully? Now obviously Mahomes isn't built quite the same way as Henry and with less speed comes less force even at a similar mass. But still, Mahomes is a SOLID dude. This isn't some 6'5'', 220 lb guy that's gonna get wrecked out there. Our boy is built for this, man.

Patrick came from a Texas Tech team that had little blocking up front and little defense that made scoring every possession necessary. Besides the obvious talent he has, this is what made Patrick the QB he is today. IMHO,. I think he learned to use his head no matter the situation. Something I've not heard anyone mention is on the 4th TD of the prior Texans game. He knew he was close to the line of scrimmage so he drug his foot which made it plain on the reply he was behind the LOS. All the while looking for and finding Kelse for the TD. You might say he learned this style from the Texas Tech school of hard knocks.

Veach said, " He's the best player I've ever seen."
That's why Veach is our GM now. I second Veach's opinion. in 42 years of watching football, he's the best player I've ever seen. And he's ours. |

That's crazy to think back to the story about how Mahomes worked out a ton this offseason because he gained so much weight during the 2018 season and felt like he was too out of shape to run in 2018. I wonder what his 40 time would look like now.

It's like....
if you took Payton Manning's brain, Tom Brady's will, and put them in Brett Favre's body. It's incredible. |

Remember when I said 2019 has been an incredibly weird year for me? Well yeah.
Saturday I spent the day flying back to Los Angeles from Philadelphia (had a great time btw). FWIW, folks in Philly are all in for the Chiefs and Andy. They still LOVE him. For the flight from Philadelphia to O'Hare, I was lucky enough to sit next to an attractive young woman who was very friendly. Pretty girls always make the time go by faster. Getting to O'Hare, I ran into two Chiefs fans wearing Mahomes jersey's. I yelled a healthy "Go Chiefs!" as we passed each other in the terminal. It was reciprocated. I would imagine they were headed to the game. That was cool. I had a 3 hour layover in Chicago, and while I won't discuss it on a public forum, something very magical and beautiful happened to me while I was there...just a simple connection with a complete stranger. That's all I will say. On the flight from Chicago to LAX, I sat next to an elderly couple on their way to Japan...They were from Chicago. We had a conversation during the entire flight, shared our backgrounds etc. Upon learning that I was originally from KC, the man (Bears fan) said that the entire city of Chicago is still livid that they didn't draft Mahomes. As he said, "That kid is something else" Arriving at LAX, I said my goodbyes to the complete stranger that I met at O'Hare. Will probably never see that person again, regardless, it was a cool moment in time that I got to spend with that person. United Airlines lost my bag. It was delivered shortly after the Chiefs won the AFC Championship. We are going to win the Super Bowl. |

Who was that poster that said that Mahomes needed two or three years of development? Oh, TiggerUppercut, I think. What a sad individual.

Vision around the field similar to Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson. What’s scary for NFL defenses is he is only 24 years old. He’s better now than he was a year ago, and I think he will keep getting better.

And Russ Wilson's pocket presence.
