*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****
IT ****ING HAPPENED

Drew Brees threw 15 INT's last year, but he also threw 37 TD's and ran for 2 more. You're doing a good job as a QB when you are scoring almost 3X as much as you are turning the ball over, unless you are not scoring and not turning it over. |

The best thing that can happen to Mahomes is for Alex to go out there and play the best ball of his career and show Mahomes what it takes to be a pro.
If Pat can adopt part of Alex's headiness, his overall game will be pretty damn deadly. Set up the big play with some Alex ball and the moment the opposing defense tries to cheat up, Mahomes to Hill for the TD. This is gonna be a fun ride. |

Who can forget when they had us beat on national TV and he fumbled the snap? I mean really, a fumbled snap? Could you imagine Brady doing something like that? Overall I think Rivers is a good QB but he just doesn't have that, i have no idea what the word is, but whatever it is he just doesn't have it. Brady has it, Montana has it, MJ had it, Big Ben has it etc.. With the game on the line you want it in those guys hands, Rivers not so much.. That's one of the reasons he will never be mentioned among the greats. He'll just be another good QB who put up a bunch of stats and never won a SB. Still a hell of a QB though and fun to watch at times. Weird throwing motion but he makes it work. Also, when he gets hot there is not much you can do he is as good as anyone. Probably the only bigtime trash talking QB out there as well for whatever that is worth. |

1) Played in possibly the easiest offense of the QB's. It was a 1 read and throw offense with NFL talent all around him. 2) Can be terribly inaccurate. |

Watson on Gruden's QB camp was rather telling. Or maybe it was Steve Mariucci's thing. Don't remember. Those shows are good for usually nothing more than finding out the personality of each QB, but Watson at the whiteboard was ****ing hopeless. He's the only QB I've ever seen on those draft shows who couldn't even ****ing spit out the playcall. Seriously, he kept forgetting the name of the play. He had to practice like 5 times just to SAY the name of it correctly. The Texans have a far bigger mess on their hands. If Bill O'Brien wants to start Watson right away, he's going to have to dig out his flag football playbook from elementary school and start there. |

I just don't understand the Watson love. His lack of arm strength jumps out at you. I mean, it's really noticeable. Most of the time when someone tells me "x has a weak arm", you'll watch the game and go "meh. It's ok". With Watson it really stands out. It mostly shows up on his deep passes. He essentially just chucks it as far as he can and whatever happens, happens. The Texans will be stuck with a short passing game because his downfield accuracy and strength just isn't there. On top of what SNR mentioned and what i stated above, his frame is so slight. Narrow shoulders. He plays small. He doesn't look like he'd last an NFL season.

And the guy was clocked at throwing 49 MPH at the combine...which is really, really low. If you look at some of the other QB's (past and present) velocity scores, I feel like this result is a glaring indication that he will bust... I mean, the only other QB that has been somewhat ok that scored as low as him was (drumroll)....Mike Glennon. Meanwhile, our guy was clocked at 60 MPH...which if I'm not mistaken is (or is close to) a record. |

To me Watson is a younger version of Smith. He can run pretty well but has the weak arm that won't stretch the field. He will be easier to defend because he doesn't have the arm strength to reall be a threat down field in tight spaces. Alex has the same problem.
