The risks will be accepted by me. They have to, as it's out of my hands anyway.

The focus will be on whether the risks are not too game-killing. If he ends up throwing 3 INTs per game, but also gets 5 TDs per game.. and more importantly, the WINS...

then hey, go nuts. Backyard ball the shit out the games.

The touchdown play.

This is not an easy play/throw to make when the call broke down. This type of ad-libbing is something you either have or you don't. pic.twitter.com/dQZA6MmdB8

Alex did great imo but I get mad thinking why didn't he play like that in the playoffs?


Bray started out on fire then after his INT I thought he lost confidence and it showed and he made his errant throws like I saw him do in practice. If his next game shows confidence then he can make throws like he started out doing. Other problem with Bray is if O-line doesn't block long enough he will go down like a sack of potatoes. He just stands there reminds me of Byron Leftwich and he wont last long.


Patrick Mahomes II playing with backups that are trying to make the team playing against backups that are trying to make the 9ers roster. Not a good cast to help him out but he was poised and nothing rattled him. A few of his throws could have been better much better but he was able to show he can handle the offense and made it look like he belonged out there.

If you look there is a lane between 66 and 4. Mahomes had the wr get right where that lane opened up and threw it through there.

Espn has an angle that is perfect. Almost directly off mahomes shoulder. It's wide open.

I have no clue where to start to upload a video

A lot of young, strong armed QBs try to throw that pass with zip, when a touch pass like that floater is what is needed.

That a glimpse of his football IQ.

Yeah. good touch. right where it needed to be.

Other people are arguing that Kemp wasnt open. He was.

This is the closest I could find (second replay).

I tried doing a screenshot but the video darkened when paused. The ball is in the air at this point.

He threw it to the one spot the wr could catch it but the defense couldn't. That's exactly what you want to see.

Peyton Manning threw shitton of INT his first few years in the league. He also threw a shtiton of touchdowns. Patrick will do the same thing then the INT will start to dwindle and he will make a shitton more touchdowns than INT and we can win championships with him.

He's going to be a star.

Thats part of my video.

And it's a perfect shot.


Now where did he throw over three guys Sandy?

Liar.

[Easy 6]

The touchdown was sooo damn Favre-ian, rolling one way and throwing accurately across the body the other way

Sooo few QBs can make that play

[SAUTO]

doesn't look near as risky when you see it from pat's view point.

That is just not true.

That ball did not require arm strength.

Any QB with mobility and vision can make that throw.

Rodgers does it better than anyone
