Good thing we had the opportunity to grab this kid this year. If he turns out to be Blackledge 2.0 we will have an opportunity to address it (look somewhere else) before Alex retires. Great move by the CHIEFS. Opportunity and Preparation met at the right time.

Mahomes will never see a discrepancy in talent at the NFL level like he did in that LSU game. As far as we know, the Chiefs current O-Line is a hell of a lot better than the Texans O-Line that ruined David Carr's career before it ever got started. |

**** Deshaun Watson. Mahomes is the true champion.
And I would normally have ill wishes for Trubisky, but he honestly doesn't need any curses of mine in order to fail miserably in that QB graveyard known as Chicago. |

Seems like a very nice kid, but doesn't have the "it" factor. He pretty much hit the lottery with this draft and if he's smart, he will protect that money because I don't see him having a long career in this game. |

Same applied to Carr. He probably made their OLine look worse as well. |

Peters doesn't have Sanders straight line speed, but teams avoid that whole side of the field the exact same way QBs did against Sanders. You wouldn't know that because you weren't alive when Sanders was a player in his prime. Bruce Smith was a 3-4 end that abused OL the same way Jones does and we are about to see Jones go into his second and third years in the NFL where most great DL make a huge jump. I'm excited to see Jones with more muscle and after putting in serious work on his technique. What we saw as a rookie was based on pure talent. Go watch Emmitt Smith run the ball and then watch Hunts videos...I know it sounds far fetched, but thy are extremely similar runners. Hunt won't get the workload Emmitt did because the game has changed, but the vision, balance, power and patience are all there. Again, I had the pleasure of watching his whole career and his running style is very similar to the way Hunt runs. |

So, you don't understand the term "upside" then?
What made Emmitt great was Vision Change of direction ability Balance Heart Making guys miss Powering through arm tackles Good receiver out of the backfield That jump cut though... (His OL) Again, go watch Hunts videos and you will see every single one of those traits displayed at a high level. Now, I'm clearly not saying Hunt is going to be Emmitt Smith, just that their styles are similar and that if Hunt reaches his potential he will be compared to a poor mans Emmitt Smith. |
