*****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’m a big Rice guy, I think he’ll get there, I don’t think he’s there yet. DJ disagrees with my take on this, but our O had the second highest 3rd down conversion rate last year and Juju was responsible for converting nearly 20% of all of our O’s third downs (despite only starting 14 games). While that doesn’t seem like a super high number, to me that’s the difference between 1 of our drives per game stalling at midfield or settling for 3 (as we’ve done a lot this year), and a grind it out, 15 play drive that ends in 6. FWIW, I think Patrick has taken a step back, too. However I don’t think we can waive off Juju’s absence by saying Rice is better or even that he’s already at the level Juju was last season.

Additionally he played a total of 32 snaps in the first two weeks. Come on, man. Yes, we miss JuJu. No, Rice hasn't fully replaced him.

The majority of Rice's big plays were schemed. He's been excellent as a rookie but Juju had experience and knew how to get open in zone better. Rice isn't bad at that, he's just young. Even still they need to get him more involved.
We don't have a guy at WR that can sell routes really well on a consistent basis and it's hurting us. Rice, Hardman and Toney are all running designed plays. Justin Watson might be our best route runner at WR this year.

you see both of them do things JuJu was doing sporadically, like that great catch skyy made down the sideline against Miami but it happens so infrequently Patrick isn't sure who he can trust it's pretty apparent at this point he had a HIGH level of trust that JuJu was going to be where he needed to be those RPO slants are almost dead in this offense too, and JuJu was nails on those he almost took one for a TD against Buffalo

If anything, those GIFS illustrate the difference between Mahomes last year and this year.

I can find examples of Mahomes making those kinds of throws this year. But in VERY limited quantities. And I blame that on the receivers.

Seems right. If those gifs are what we're using for "getting open" and "selling routes" there's really no reason to discuss this whole shit bird. |

That's what I was thinking. Not a whole lot of wide open routes on most of those throws.

If they were in the right spot he would be.

We have a TON of evidence this year that this simply isn't the case.
He's looking right at guys as they're coming out of a route and simply not triggering. He's playing tentative.

Rice is getting open but Mahomes isn't throwing it to him.
It's not blasphemy to admit that Patrick isn't playing up to the absurdly high bar he has set for himself. I'm 100% sure he'll get it figured out before the end of the season and wbf. |

I agree, and it's so weird. We don't know what it's like to be an NFL QB, but I would think at this point Mahomes would be beyond any tentativeness or self-doubt. He has to know he's King Shit of **** Mountain. If it wasn't Mahomes, I would think he's either got a nagging injury, or some personal shit going on behind the scenes.

I think we have the players and coaches to get there, but it almost always takes time. That's life in the NFL.
