***OFFICIAL Patrick Mahomes GIF thread***
AKA GIF'D UP: Franchise QB Edition.
Complete with smooth, clean, CP-exclusive GIFs and bullshit analysis from the guy who stroked off Cassel. Play 1: A beautiful strike, albeit slightly underthrown, that got called back.
Spoiler!
What I like about this play: The All-22 shows no one really open, and a pass rusher right in Mahomes face. He still made the throw.
Spoiler!
Play 2: A fine intermediate throw, thrown with incredible anticipation.
Spoiler!
What I like about this play: the anticipation on this throw is something we don't even see from he-who-shall-not-be-named-in-this-thread. This is the frame right before Mahomes begins his throwing motion. He waits any longer and it might be picked.
Spoiler!
Play 3: Mahomes escapes pressure and comes 6 inches from a TD pass.
Spoiler!
What I like about this play: Mahomes shows great pocket presence, but he isn't running just to run like you-know-who. He's running to throw, and attempting a throw certain quarterbacks would never even think of. Additionally, the fact he avoids a sack here sets up a TD later. Look how close this was to a TD:
Spoiler!
Play 4: Mahomes throws with incredible anticipation again, almost comes up with a TD, gets a flag anyway.
Spoiler!
What I like about this play: This is even better anticipation than the intermediate throw we saw earlier. The WR hasn't even cleared coverage when Mahomes starts his throwing motion. I'm fairly floored a rookie QB in his first game attempted this throw.
Spoiler!
Play 5: TOUCHDOWN KANSAS CITY
Spoiler!
What I like about this play: Mahomes is running to throw all the way. He's manipulating the defense into giving him a crack to throw. And it's just a crack, because as people have pointed out, if he doesn't throw it high it's probably a pick. Sir-not-appearing-in-this-thread hasn't made a throw like this into the end zone in four years. The frame where Mahomes decides to release:
Spoiler!
You know what you need to throw TDs in the NFL? BRASS BALLS. Go and do likewise, starter. The touchdown's out there, you pick it up, it's yours. You don't--I have no sympathy for you. You wanna go out on those plays tonight and score, score, it's yours. If not you're going to be shining my pads. FIN |

Nice job Clay
Where's the throw to Gehrig though? That one was nice too. |

Hey, Patrick, will a 34-year old be the Chiefs starting QB next year?

The way he evades pressure in the pocket looks just like Roethlisberger.

Quite possibly the greatest thread on CP right now.
First time I've been extremely excited about the Chiefs franchise in probably a decade. Who wants to order some Mahomes jerseys from China with me?

Thanks for taking the time to make these. Mahomes looked great for a rookie making his debut in the NFL.
Can we take a quick second to discuss GIF 4 though? Part of me feels like that was almost an epic throw for a TD. Part of me feels like he was staring down his target and was lucky whoever the safety was on that play sucked ass and didn't; A - Step in front of the pass and take it to the house for 6 B - Kill whatever hobo Mahomes was trying to throw to there. Am I misguided? I'd like to hear input. |

Here's to hoping that this thread turns into the longest, best thread in CP history. Well, this and the actual Mahomes thread.
