in 20 years, the character in Madden's Longshot mode, will be interacting with Mahommes as his mentor in the game.

We have 3 weeks until Madden 18...I think that's enough time to squeeze in a Madden 17 season with Mahomes as the Chiefs starter.

His mechanics in college were almost flawless, so he didn't have to rebuild them from the ground up. Mahomes has really worked hard on those mechanics, but they aren't going to be ingrained and be natural for a while. When the real bullets start flying, his natural instincts will take over, and he'll revert to those poor mechanics. |

Mahomes arm/release mechanics are fine. Almost ideal, IMO.
It's his footwork that needs work, and playing from under center. |

Bortles has been paying that price in Jacksonville, having reverted back to his poor mechanics. |

Earlier this summer I thought Reid said they are not going to rebuild his mechanics? Work on some things, yes. But not a rebuild. Learning the language was the bigger thing.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that's what he said. |

The good part of what I've heard about Mahomes since OTA and camps are that he never makes the same mistake twice so he is a quick study and I think that will help him adapt to the NFL. |

All of these things are correctable for Pat. I think it's the playbook that will take the most time.

I don't get why? Remember Al Saunders playbook? Offense had all kinds of shifts formations and audibles. That offense had to be more complex yet it was effective of course it had the best Oline and TE and RB and a solid Quarterback to run it that made it look like a well oiled machine. I don't get why Andy Reid offense is suppose to be so difficult.
