I think Mahomes is a silent assassin. He's a guy that won't go around acting like a cocky ass off the field, he'll be down to earth and willing to learn and improve on things, but the second a game begins, it's like a light turns on and he lets his swag show because he internally knows how damn good he is.
Passing up on any endorsements last year is another example of that imo. He's willing to bet on himself because he knows how good he'll be and he's willing to have patience that will pay off tenfold when the time comes. |

The coaching staff is saying they are seeing him make plays thaey have never seen being made before. Tough call on weather to reign that in or not. And I didn't say anything about criticizing decisions. Just wanted to know if you thought he should throw the pass he threw against Denver or throw it away like Smith would have. |

He's doing all the right things. I'm stoked for the Mahomes era to blow up the NFL hierarchy.
https://www.yahoo.com/sports/patrick...010612684.html Key excerpt: Mahomes didn’t want the hype before he played a snap. Mahomes and his agent Leigh Steinberg talked to ESPN about how he declined local endorsements last year in deference to veteran starter Alex Smith. Steinberg said that Mahomes got some of the offers that come with being a first-round rookie, but chose to focus instead on finding his place in the locker room before having his face plastered on Kansas City billboards while Smith was still the starter. |

Not a tough call for me either. I was thinking tough call for the coaching staff. I hope they let him play, and think they will, since they seem giddy with what they are seeing in practice.

I don’t think Mahomes will be near as bad about the bad decisions as Favre was, however I do expect that it will take him some time to ‘reel it in’. Like maybe a few years, then he’ll really know what he can and can’t get away with consistently.
QBs these days don’t hit their prime until 30+ years old, so he’s ideally got a lot of room to grow here as they move forward. |
