*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****
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.. |

I know you guys don't like the game manager stuff, but I love it. I want Mahomes to play into his mid 40's like Brady. The dink & dunk crap will help him get there. Get the ball out quickly and avoid a ton of hits from the pass rush. Plus I think we saw in the playoffs that Patrick will elevate his approach to the game on the biggest stage. His legs became a huge factor in all 3 of those games. A secret weapon for the team. |

... and then 0-24 happened and we got 2018 Patrick + a Mahomes willing to use his legs to dazzling effect. We got 51-7, the Run, WASP and him going like, 5/5 for 65 yards and a TD down 3 against the best passing defense in the last decade. We’ll still see him, and when we do, it’ll wreck the sports world just like he did in January - but most Sundays he’s going to look so business oriented he may as well be on the cover of a Fortune 500 mag. And of course, we will eventually need to move to a new cycle. Once Kelce, Hill, Watkins and the vets on the D move forward, we may see Patrick ignite the sports world again every Sunday. God this is such a great time to be a fan. I can not believe Pat is on our team. |

That was a called shot. He asked for the play and knew full well at the snap he needed that insane drop-back to get the ball out. I didn't realize how much he'd grown until that Mahomes Monday thing that NFL Network did last spring where they showed something like 8 Mahomes games in a row. Watching the kid that was running around guys in '18 vs. the guy that was just calmly dissecting them in '19 was night and day. He's just so calm and so in control. He was making it up on the fly in '18 and he's a prodigy so it worked. In '19, OTOH, cat knew exactly what he was doing at all times.

Against the Patriots, we finally saw the offense shut down in the 1st half by Bill reinventing his defensive scheme and rolling it out against Pat and Andy. And yet it didn’t matter, Pat still scorched the Hall of Fame coach who shut down K-Gun in the 90’s for 31 points in a half. WASP was Patrick bringing that type of magic back to the field at the most pivotal moment of the game. However, I completely agree with you. We saw Patrick take some of the skills we saw in 2019 and diagnose a weakness in the 9ers defense and then use his physical ability to launch a 57 yard ball without the need for him to step into the throw. How do you even scheme against someone who has this type of physical ability and mental aptitude to diagnose weaknesses even against a defense that had been putting hits on him all night and playing him as good as possible? That matchup and outcome still amaze me. Last edited by Chiefspants; 09-17-2020 at 03:02 PM.. |

He's just the total package. There is nobody like him.

The NFL record for passing yards outside the pocket, was it? ![]() Elway looked like he'd just seen his own ghost. The funny thing is we all saw "Business Pat" in his second start at Pittsburgh. Almost everything that day was from the pocket. I think his first read was open on almost every play that day, though - I think that's what he told me last year. ![]()

He's more "Assassin Pat"
He's essentially Leon from The Professional. Or really Jean Reno in any movie his was in in the '90s. He's just there to calmly and smoothly murder some people. Oh sure, if things get hairy he can beat you to death with your own shoe, but it's probably not gonna happen often.

Actually gonna disagree - he was taking the checkdown far too often Thursday night, as the tweet showed.
I saw him dump it in the left flat four times - quite uncommon for him. I think a part of that was having a huge lead and him just thinking "better safe than sorry," which I get, especially with no preseason. I think that's Business Pat, though.
