another great article about Mahomes from nfl.com
The Big Gamble http://www.nfl.com/labs/sidelines/pa...k-mahomes.html The Kansas City Chiefs placed a sizable bet on Patrick Mahomes, a quarterback who knows a thing or two about taking chances, and it's already showing signs of a big payoff Last edited by RedRaider56; 09-11-2018 at 09:28 AM.. Reason: wanted to put the article title in the post |

If that ball apexes without that kind of spin, it's gonna stay nose up and kinda flutter down. But with the kind of velocity he put on it, at its apex it STILL had the an insane spin rate so when it started to go down, the nose was able to 'grab' and pull the ball down/forward. Think of it as a rifle round. You have a low velocity round you'll get a lot of tumble earlier in its arc and the ballistics will fall to hell on it. Suddenly your accuracy over distance is essentially a guessing game. High velocity rounds, OTOH, track a hell of a lot truer because they're still spinning at the top of their arc and they continue to drive throughout their flight path. We just went from a 12 gauge slug to a goddamn .223 magnum round. |

Look at videos of guys dropping basketballs off dams and stuff and you'll see the best example of it. But the short answer is the same as it is on that throw - the ball does that because Patrick Mahomes throws the ever loving shit out of the football. And the reason he can do that and still put it right where he wants it even with the movement is because his innate understanding of how his body/throw works is absolutely unreal. Dear eight pound, six ounce, newborn baby Jesus - please keep this man healthy. Because we have NEVER seen a guy that can have the impact on this franchise that Pat Mahomes can. And the league only sees a guy with this kind of ability once a decade or so. |

With regards to?
I believe I once told you to maybe tap the brakes on calling him John Elway during pre-draft discussion but I never once questioned the kid's arm talent. He was my favorite QB in the draft by a fair amount as well. Is there a discussion you're referencing that I don't recall? Because I've been a big fan of Mahomes for a long while. |
