This year will be a send off to Old QB's and putting them on notice their is a new stud in the NFL. Rivers was first, Then Big Ben, Then Brady. It is time for them to retire. |

You were giving me shit about Randy Gregory . Thus your short memory when you were wrong. Because I was right about Mahomes.

Mahomes is not even 23 years old- what is he going to be like after a few years of experience? Look how much Brady and Rogers have improved year after year as they have had every kind of defense thrown at them. Wow! |

Most people outside of kc don't have an appreciation for how dialed back a version of mahomes this is. They ain't seen nothing yet. I think we'll see a lot more of this toned down version of mahomes. But I bet he goes absolutely berzerk by the end of the year.

I forgot how you arrived at your comparison (Russell Wilson with Kaepernick's arm). Yeah, there's something to it. He's not the mobile threat that Wilson is but he's a football rat with a howitzer. Notable distinction between him and Kaepernick in terms of raw throwing talent - Kaepernick required a windup. He always had that sorta elongated throwing motion that he needed to use to generate velocity. Mahomes sure as hell doesn't. I simply thought it was damn premature to be comparing him to one of the 3-5 greatest QBs to ever live. I mean...it still is. But the talent is second to none, no question.

Why Kaep and Wilson? Let's hear you say it. I see little in common with either actually.

But I also said we should go get Pat Mahomes. I just thought your were maybe being overzealous in your advocacy...

I said before the season that Tyreek Hill would emerge as the most impactful non-QB in the NFL this season. He is an absolute freak out there. No one has that skill set. No one.

Nope, I was making baseball comparisons to Kaep and Wilson due to how it shaped their playing styles due to baseball and the raw ability that shaped them. Russell was drafted as midfielder also hence the reason of such a correlation .

I don’t get the Kaepernick comparison. Mahomes is a lot more accurate on his throws. Definitely can see some Big Ben, Russell Wilson, and Aaron Rodgers type of talent in Pat’s game. The mental side of it will be the biggest question and time will tell.
