*****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.. |

We've never seen Burrow do that, at least not yet. Which is why calling him a "system QB" is much more denigrating than flattering. |

Montana was bad ass. He was by far the best ever when he came on the scene. He ran, threw and got it done with not much help. Rice showed up for ring 3 not 1.

It says that a catcher's defensive reputation is inversely proportional to his offensive ability. Royals fans might vaguely remember this name - Tony Cruz. Tony Cruz was a TERRIBLE baseball player. I mean just absolute shit. He sucked at everything. Didn't present a target, couldn't block balls, had a lousy throwing arm. And god help him at the plate - he was hopeless there. He ****ing sucked. But he was Yadier Molina's buddy so he was on the roster. Every single announcer who ever spoke about Tony Cruz called him something like "a strong catch and throw guy" as a backup. They just presumed he could play plus defense because he **** sure couldn't hit. The problem was that he was a wretched fielder; just trash. Every technical thing you could do, he did poorly. And it happens ALL the time. There are really solid offensive catchers who people presume are weak defenders BECAUSE they can hit (Realmuto dealt with this for several years). Well folks see Burrow out there not really moving around much, not really making these insane rocket-powered throws into tight windows, not making crazy off-platform plays and they just assume "well hey - he's not spectacular so he MUST be a better processer than Mahomes..." It's the ugly cousin of Nichols Law of Catchers Defense. We're gonna call it Nuts Law of Quarterback Processing: A quarterbacks ability to read a defense is inversely proportional to his spectacular play potential.

Yup, Montana won his first two super bowls without Rice. In fact his receivers in 1981 and 1984 were scrubs for the most part. If you talk to the average NFL fan they'll say Montana's teams were "stacked."

I mean, they did have some hellacious defenses though. He won them much more brady-like than most realize earlier in his career

Dude...put Mahomes on that LSU team that won the NC and he would have pushed for 80+ TDs.

That’s interesting. I never put much thought in it to research but I just kinda defaulted into assuming he had Rice for all of his rings.
