Reid has even stated that he doesn't like spending a lot of time on a QB's mechanics. Whatever gains Mahomes has made in non contact, no pressure situations is nice and all...but i don't expect to see Tom Brady out there....ever. |

Imagine if they hadn't corrected Rodgers' mechanics while he sat on the bench being Favre...

Like i've said many times before: Initially i hated the Mahomes idea because of his mechanics, and i do not believe QB mechanics get "fixed" in the NFL. The more i watched him though, the more i realized he doesn't need perfect mechanics to make accurate throws. I realized, he was very Rodgers like. Most of these clips below are what we'd consider "poor mechanics". For QB's like these, **** MECHANICS **** MECHANICS **** MECHANICS **** MECHANICS Get that shit out of your head. If you've spent any time watching Mahomes then there is no way in hell you can tell me that they aren't similar, damn near identical to Rodgers in this highlight reel. |

Look at that hop-throw Rodgers makes @ 2sec
How about that off balance, shuffled feet throw @ 15sec? That throw @ 22seconds where he shuffles his feet? SOOOO Mahomes. That's EXACTLY how Mahomes throws. @37 Seconds, also not perfect footwork. I'm not even a minute in. We can do this all damn day. This Mechanics shit....Waaaaay overblown. |

Agree that consistincy is paramount, but disagree that his deep ball is an issue. Yes, he misses sometimes, but remind me what the average NFL completion % is again for balls that travel 20+ through the air? Not worried about it. |

Look at that throw @ 1:20 that Rodgers makes and tell me about his proper mechanics. We can do this all day.
He is not Manning. He is not Brady. He's Rodgers with a Favre like arm. |

Rogers is the exception to the rule there though. It's all about muscle memory and such.

Most QB's can't accurately throw 60 yard bombs across their body, while running to the left, off balance either. Mahomes does this. Quite regularly, actually. This is what is exciting about Mahomes. He's oozing with natural ability that most QB's simply don't have. |
