*****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!

Also think the same for Omenihu.

And yes I think Hollywood starts practicing sometime next month. I pray to God Watson comes back at the end of next month as well.

Opposing teams just don't respect the running game right now. God love Kareem but he's slow and has next to no wiggle. Pacheco can fly and that's a big deal down the stretch.

He’d be my pick for 2nd best too. I get burrows place in the discussion. And Lamar this season has certainly put himself in the conversation but we need to see him win some really big games first

Lamar shits the bed every single postseason. He isnt even in the same stratosphere as Allen and Burrow until he shows he doesn't turn into a pumpkin in the postseason

Not saying he can't better but he came out with far less polish than those guys.

That's what I said, isn't it? He has the physical tools, but we'll have to wait and see how/if he develops. If he does develop into a solid possession receiver, and he doesn't have to become the next Tee Higgins or whatever, he's going to become a problem to cover, especially in the RZ.

Ok, wasn't following that then.


Again, I liked him as a prospect but thought he was too raw to spend a high pick on for where we were.

Ah, well that's slightly different as well. I wasn't actually thinking about Coleman in terms of whether we should've taken him instead of Worthy. Tbh, I never thought about that at all even before the draft. I would agree that Coleman seemed too raw to take before Worthy. I just thought it was a decent pick for BUF, because of his obvious physical traits. They play in northern NY, and it gets pretty windy there, so a big physical target made a lot of sense. Especially in the playoffs, when speed isn't as big of an asset, come Dec/Jan.

Joe Burrow is good, but his legacy is ridiculously inflated by a playoff run to the Super Bowl during which he did almost nothing.

If Patrick Mahomes hadn’t completely forgotten how to play football in the second half of that first AFCCG, then no one is putting Burrow anywhere near the top of these discussions.

When I texted my friend in Denver there was a Vaughn Miller sighting in the Chiefs backfield yesterday, he just laughed...

Remember last season when he cost us the Dungkeys streak by posting the Let’s talk about the Eagles thread on the week we played Dungver?

It’s weird to me that he’s not accepted as the clear #2 to Mahomes (guys like Lamar and Burrow are still suggested) but I think his greatness would be far more obvious to most fans if the Chiefs didn’t own his team in the playoffs his entire career (and that ownership has almost next to nothing to do with his own performance in the playoffs). We almost certainly win that game yesterday if we are playing anybody other than the Bills.

If/when the Chiefs inevitably have a down period again, Josh Allen is probably going to be the biggest beneficiary.

Allen is genuinely about the only QB who has willed his team to victories against KC. He’s gotten better each year and should have won MVP last year.
