*****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.. |

He's like 6'5" 240 or something which is perfect size. His arm is probably stronger than Mahomes'. He can run like a gazelle. Physically speaking, you can't ask for a much better specimen. If he can continue to work on his accuracy, processing and learning when to slide, he could be elite for a long time. |

Allen's lack of accuracy alone should keep him out of the top 5. When making a "best QB" list, I couldn't care less about his rushing, for the same reason I don't care about Lamar Jackson's rushing.

There is a lot more to being a QB than accuracy (granted, accuracy is probably the most important trait on my list). Allen excels in just about every other QB trait category including the intangibles. He’s dynamic and a true dual threat.

Justin Herbert could be ****ing nasty. And if he ever gets a team and a franchise around him, I think Joe Burrow could be ****ing nasty. Josh Allen? No. |

That could be true based on sample size but Super Bowl Mahomes has also been run for his life Mahomes while people drop passes that hit them in the facemask.

I've long thought one of the edges great coaches have over average coaches is they value playoff performance more. Eyeball test of if a player seems to lose confidence in the biggest moments is just as important as sample size imo. Think Paul George missing those two free throws that might have cost them the series. Also Superbowl Mahomes never lost his cool, spazzed out, tried to lateral a ball mid-play when it made zero sense to do so, then sat on the sidelines staring into the abyss afterwards. I think Allen can grind his way up to being a decent playoff QB. But he'll never be an elite playoff QB imo. He just doesn't have it in him. |

This is why I'm picking up Fields in dynasty. Accuracy in a Reid offense with those weapons? I'm not sure why anyone thinks Fields won't be great. |

I’ll take Brady over Allen in any random playoff game right now.

Josh Allen has played 4 playoff games. He shit the bed in 3 of them.
