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!

People always sleep on that insane throw on the lateral play Kelce made to LeSean McCoy.

The play was amazing by Kelce, but the Mahomes throw was impossible. Drifting to his right, hitting Kelce who was sprinting in the opposite direction.

Scrambling TD against the 49ers in his home debut. Arrowhead lost their shit.

Slammed in the chest and throws it 40 yards downfield into a breadbox perfectly

Probably forgetting a couple that might also make it in that list

Here’s why I think that throw might be better than those: Mahomes was stuck, couldn’t plant his feet and could barely see downfield. He also threw it projecting where Hopkins would be.he was getting hit in the chest when he lit that thing fly.

It also wasn’t a bad throw. It was just high enough above the first defender and just short enough to not be overthrown for the safety to pick it off.

It was literally a perfect throw in an incredibly difficult situation.

I'll say this -- it was so good that it makes it feel almost lucky to me.

I just can't convince myself that he put that ****er right in that bucket on much more than a chuck and a prayer. And that Hopkins simply did a fantastic job adjusting to it.

It's like getting Trey Smith in the 6th - I mean I'd love to say that's just fantastic scouting, but c'mon, even WE passed on him 4-5 times. It was a little bit of intelligence and a little bit of luck.

Sometimes when something works TOO well, I can only think there's an element of luck to it.

Oh I can. Remember that throw he made to the corner of the endzone in the Bucs Super Bowl, to Pringle?

He was spinning around as he released it. It was incomplete but it had a chance, and it was perfectly thrown.

Mahomes has this weird trait where his deep throws are seemingly MORE accurate when he's off platform or under pressure.

There is. But it was still an outstanding throw that is damn near impossible to make.

Another one that I liked was his TD pass to Sherman in his first full season as the starter. It was a beautiful sideline pass that hit him in stride for a TD.

Oh shit, I forgot about the one to Hardman against the Saints too. That was unreal.

Been watching Patrick do "lucky" stuff since his freshman year at Tech. At some point we just have to shake our heads. There is no explanation for what he does, lol

That said, I believe Patrick has been more unlucky than his peer level QB's around the NFL the last couple years. I watch other games and it's crazy how often the other QB's seem to get away with bullshit plays. Joe Burrow got away with 3 turnover worthy plays last night. Seems like Josh Allen gets away with plenty of stuff. CJ Stroud as well. Lamar isn't perfect either. Even Mayfield seems to have better luck than Mahomes lately.
