Second, you're applying revisionist history to the perception of Patrick Mahomes. Is Patrick Mahomes a freak that can do some things on the field that arguably no other human has ever been able to do? Yeah, he is. But most of the pre and post-draft commentary I've seen about him focuses more on his negatives than potential positives. Good on the Chiefs, though. They called it right, and then took the initiative to go get him. History will rightfully laud them for that. But in their wildest dreams, even they didn't dream that Patrick Mahomes would do what he's done, at this stage of his career. I know for a fact that you do not know the ingredients that are necessary to take a child that is drafted and turn him into a man that wins Super Bowls. Because if you did, you wouldn't be posting on ChiefsPlanet. As Garcia mentioned, the guy who coached the evolution of drew brees into Drew Brees is bullish on Bo Nix. I'll go with it.

This shit is hilarious. Brees is a top 10 qb in NFL history. The odds that Nix becomes Brees or even better than Brees is extremely low.

Well, since we unfortunately don't have the actual posts and threads from then, I am only guessing, based on my flawed memory (trust me on the flawed part). But my guess is that the consensus there was similar to what you all are saying about Bo Nix here. Not only are posters on football message boards not the best player personnel people, when they are posters on a rival's message board, they post with an obvious bias.

Thank you for that, Captain Obvious. You summarized what I have said in every post I have made on the subject in this thread. I'm glad someone got it.

Any player - but especially a quarterback - has to catch lightning in a bottle to end up in Canton. You have to have the talent, brains, and work ethic. But then, you have to get the right coaches and team. And then you have to avoid injury. Those are a lot of checks and balances a player has to navigate. And even one of them going slightly wrong will short circuit things. If you mark the day they are drafted as, say, T-minus-zero, all you can do is look at the ingredients they seem to have at that moment, and guess on the rest. How about this? How about I simply say, "So far, I feel good about how Bo Nix has come out of the blocks?" Because, it doesn't sound like you and I are saying anything all that different from each other.

Case Keenum, Luke Falk, Graham Harrell, Timmy Chang, Landry Jones are the top 5 completion % qbs in NCAA football history.
These guys went on to become Drew Brees |

First of all, that is nowhere near being true. And second, who cares? No one has said that college completion percentage leads directly to NFL success.

You're literally too stupid to argue with, and absolutely clueless about Mahomes as a prospect. |

Bad news with Andy/Mahomes here for 6 more years and Herbert with Harbaugh.

You're both an idiot in general, and you clearly don't know ball. Bad combination to try to have this back and forth with, and a total waste of my time. |

The fact is, as you know, being in a division with an all-time great QB is far from ideal. It's even less ideal when your QB is Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler, Case Keenum, etc. I'll gladly take Drew Brees;
