*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****

[Dante84]

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!

New England has the fewest turnovers of any team over the last 10 years let's not act like he can be mistake prone and there won't be consequences...defenses tire out far quicker than offenses do relative to time spent on the field.

Dude. It's so ****ing obvious that you're an Alexsexual masquerading as a Texas Tech and Mahomes fan.

Soooooooo obvious.

And then there was that day in camp about a month ago when he had those 3 INT's. You surely remember those? One came on an offsides penalty free down type of play. (Alex would have taken a knee and just accepted the 5 free yards, instead of taking the 5 free yards after the interception). One on a rollout where he could have just ran it in for a TD, but didn't want to because he had on the yellow jersey and the defense couldn't tackle him. And one where he called a play, and thought he had called a different play, and wasn't on the same page with his receivers.



He's a turnover machine.

Not saying you’re an Alex-only fan, but “phantom interceptions” sounds like a term those nut huggers would use to prop up their boy.

“You have to account for Alex’s hidden TDs as well as Mahomes and his phantom interceptions when comparing last year to this year!”

Coogs post is dripping in sarcasm, guys.

Check your sarcasm meter dude.

I want to repost this clip that shows off the small things Pat does.

Too long we had to watch Alex kill any hope of YAC with his late throws. No chance in hell Alex ever throws that ball to Hill crossing behind Kelce and LBs.

That in turn makes the defense better/fresher.

I disagree. Smith was great at limiting turnovers which lead to the defense being in good position on the field most of the time. Smith was also a great game manager so the defense could be rested. A great game manager is a very good thing for a defense.

Counterpoint, scoring more points is good for a defense as well.

I am sure the Skins fans will love how well Alex sets up the punter.

That's a nice little video there. That's awesome.

He's improved every game this preseason. That's all you want to see at this point.

Also, Cam Erving is going to get him killed. Jesus, man.

How ****ing hard is it to find a LG that isn't asshole?

You know what else helps a defense? 3rd down conversions. Chiefs have been ranked between 13th -20th for Smiths tenure, with more seasons ending towards 20th.

Apparently very hard lol

I don’t know why they won’t just give Wylie a shot when LDT comes back.

Whoever else they've got, give them a shot.

Erving is just blatantly awful. Like, how the hell does he look that unathletic? It's just ****ing crazy to me that they can't find an adequate LG.
