*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****
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! Last edited by Dante84; 05-17-2017 at 09:40 AM.. |

If Michael Vick was the quarterback coach, I'm worried that he would stage fights between Mahomes and Tyler Bray.

Half the argument here is basically ignoring the fact that he interviewed with our people and obviously scored high enough to warrant two 1st rounders..

Could you delineate what arguments you are critiquing? I sense that even the fringe detractors recognize that the franchise has a high degree of confidence in their selection, and the overwhelming majority are unflinchingly ecstatic. The debate has pared down to how much preparation for NFL opposition he needs and who should make the determination when he's ready.

I honestly can't imagine what would happen to this place if Alex Smith was cut in the last round to 53 and Mahomes named the starter going into week 1.
And yes, of course I am hoping for it, because it would mean he is ready. The one thing to not hope for is an Alex injury, forcing Mahomes or Bray to step up when they haven't earned the starter spot. |

Somebody in the thread made the statement that if Pat isn't the week 1 starter in 2018 he's a bust and the Chief's screwed up.
Him sitting and learning in 2017 was fine, but any longer waiting to start their 1st round franchise QB was unacceptable. You've been waiting almost 35 years. 3, 6, even 12 more months is where you absolutely draw the line? |

But Eric ain't getting replaced, and Alex ain't getting replaced. But by all means, feel free to simultaneously write off 2017, AND stick around to whelp and moan that it's not some dreamed-of future date when Mahomes is ready anyway. I swear at this point, you guys are like the nerds STILL complaining that The Phantom Menace raped their childhoods. |

Remember when Dorsey and Reid said "Alex is still our QB"?
That shit was funny. |

In less than 2 months we'll see Mahomes on NFLN live in his first preseason game in SF.
Much fapping will happen |

It is fun to have someone we drafted that we traded up 17 spots in the first round of the draft. A total dream. It's on Alex to keep his job this year if he does good he has nothing to worry about. If he doesn't and Mahomes II proves he has what it takes they will make a switch. |
