*****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.. |

On a side note, Jimmy G looks pretty damn good in SF.

Smith's trade value skyrocketed because of his performance last season. He maybe gets you a 4th if you trade him last offseason, IMO. Now that said, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying you have to consider that as part of the equation. Is the more accelerated development from Mahomes partially/completely offset by the fact that we got a hell of a young CB back in the Smith deal? And frankly, I think the benefits of Mahomes sitting behind Smith are more of a slow-burn anyway; a long-term sort of thing that comes from Mahomes simply being in the QB room with Smith and seeing how a veteran prepares himself. That will compound as he goes forward and never be obvious on the stat sheet but perhaps the sort of thing that raises his ceiling without us realizing it. |

As one of the 3 highest paid QBs in football, I'd goddamn hope so. Dude's getting close to $30 million/season over the next three seasons on the strength of 5-6 ballgames. He'd better be a damn All Pro for that kind of scratch.
I'm still not a believer but we shall see... |

Is it wrong to kind of expect a Rams 2017 performance from this team? McVay got a lot out of Goff and Co.
Wrong to expect Andy to do the same with Pat and co? |

And saying someone looks like Brady before they've played in a playoff game is kinda silly. It's the old 'looks like Maddux' for every smallish righty that has good command and doesn't throw very hard. No, what makes Brady 'look like Brady' is how he performs in key moments and his body of work over a decade. Because in a vacuum, Alex Smith 'looks like Brady' on a lot of plays and over the course of a lot of games. Right until he doesn't and you lose another playoff game that you had no business losing. Ultimately the Rams and Seahawks can both eat my ass so I'm fine with the 49ers having a quarterback that shits on their parade. I simply think its lunacy that they paid that dude like one of the best QBs in football on the strength of 1/3 of a season worth of largely checkdown passing. |

He's good in the pocket and processes quick. I like that. Like you say here, Shannahan is a good dude with QBs so we shall see. |
