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!

I’m not sure how he was exposed, but personally I wouldn’t introduce nuts or shellfish to any of my kids until they’re able to speak/clearly articulate that there is something wrong.

I don’t have any allergies and I still avoid eating nuts just to be safe. You can develop an allergy out of nowhere, which is some bullshit.

I don't think your supposed to give children under one certain food items like peanut butter etc for this reason alone

Kind of depends on what’s important you, but if you’re talking strictly regular season then, yeah, he’s got a really strong case. He was a TD machine and an underrated receiver out of the backfield.

For my money, these are the best 3-year stretches I could think of:

From 2001-2003 Priest had 4590 rushing yards (4.78 YPC), 1976 receiving yards and 61 TDs.

From 2005-2007 LdT had 4751 rushing yards (4.74 YPC), 1353 receiving yards, and 69 TDs plus 6 passing TDs.

From 1996-1998 Terrell Davis had 5296 rushing yards (4.79 YPC), 814 receiving yards and 53 TDs.

From 1983-1985 Eric Dickerson had 5147 rushing yards (4.85 YPC), 669 receiving yards, and 46 TDs.

From 1995-1997 Barry Sanders had 5097 rushing yards (5.17 YPC), 741 receiving yards, and 29 TDs

From 1993-1995 Emmitt Smith had 4743 rushing yards (4.6 YPC), 1130 receiving yards, and 57 TDs.

Just for fun, here is Jamaal Charles’ best stretch from 2012-2014:

3829 rushing yards (5.1 YPC), 1220 receiving yards, and 39 TDs.

Alright, I’ve spent entirely too much time on this BUT like I said, it definitely depends on what you’re looking for. Priest, LdT and Emmitt Smith all broke the TD record during their best stretch, while Eric Dickerson, Terrell Davis and Barry Sanders all put up the coveted 2,000 yard season during theirs.

Personally, based on the numbers, I’d say LaDainian Tomlinson had the best stretch because I value TDs.

If you’re including postseason stats as well, the best 3-year stretch by a RB is 100% without question Terrell Davis. That ****er has the best playoff rushing stats of all-time and it isn’t even close. He also won a SB MVP.

Yep, I have read that and that was why I was sure to mention that I didn’t know how he was exposed. Maybe Pat was eating peanut butter and had some on his lips then kissed the baby or something weird. Trying not to judge..

As a personal anecdote, we found out my little brother was deathly allergic to cashews when he was probably 4 and it was terrifying. Thankfully he was old enough to be able to tell his mom that his throat felt like it was getting tight. By the time he got to the hospital his face looked like he went a few rounds with Mike Tyson. Kid was unrecognizable.

Then we found out he was allergic to pistachios a few years later lol

So now I’m basically terrified of giving my kids nuts.

Strawberries are a big one, evidently. Lots of kids have strawberry allergies for some reason but kids eat the hell out of them.

So yeah, I don't remember how long we waited, but it was something like 9 months.

It's hard to know WTF to do. My doctor told us that it is officially not recommended to give them peanuts until like 3 or some shit, but there is real compelling evidence that withholding stuff increases food allergies. And he's a numbers dork. I've had to get after him pretty hard on some arthritis stuff because I was willing to spend some money on lower probability outcomes that he just couldn't wrap his head around.

I haven’t seen the numbers but I have heard this- exposing your kids to the allergens at a younger age helps them not have bad allergies when they’re older. Makes sense but you also don’t want to be the one who discovers your toddler has an anaphylactic allergy lol

Sheesh, you been hittin the drank a lil early this weekend, bud? Lol.

Nah, but you’re right. Priest was 2 games light. There were a couple other backs who missed some time during their stretches too. Eric Dickerson missed 2 games, Davis missed 1, Jamaal Charles missed a few.

Ayep. We didn't give them any of that shit until way later.

My wife has a anaphylactic allergy to peanuts, most other nuts and peas so we researched this quite a bit when our twins were born. The current recommendation based on the research that we obtained through a paediatric allergist was that children should start to be introduced to common allergens (wheat, egg, dairy, nuts, etc) at 6 months unless there is a reason to do so earlier (in our case with my wife’s history we started at 4 months). It’s just a very small amount of the food that you give the child, and then monitor for any reactions. The idea is to identify early on if there are any allergies that a child needs to be desensitized to. If an allergy like nuts can be identified early on, work can be done to desensitize the child so that it does not become an anaphylactic allergy. This becomes harder to do if the allergy is discovered when the child is older. Fortunately for our kids, they have not had any reactions, but the recommendation was to keep giving them the exposure to these common allergens weekly until age 4 to ensure they don’t develop an allergy.

So for Bronze, he can hopefully be put on a regimen to desensitize him to the peanut allergy so that he can hopefully avoid an anaphylactic allergy to peanuts and not have to carry an epipen everywhere he goes like my wife!

Lewis was so good. His problem was he played for a lot of crappy teams before there were advanced metrics. QBs just usually ignored his side of the field. And he blocked 11 punts! He should be in the HoF imo.
