And my other issue with your opinion of his leadership skills goes back to your trust in Reid and Dorsey (now Veach). They passed on Geno when they had the #1 overall. They determined like so many other teams that he was a bad teammate and not the kind of guy they wanted longterm at QB. That's when they have the #1 overall pick, too. So why the **** would they trade UP to grab a guy with the same entitlement issues and bad leadership skills when they wouldn't spend their #1 on a guy with the same issues?
You said you don't know more than Reid and Dorsey, but these are the guys who EXHAUSTIVELY interviewed and got to know Pat Mahomes before drafting him. Do you seriously believe they would take a kid who was incapable of being a good leader? Do you think GMs and coaches from New Orleans, Houston, NYG, and Arizona would also be as interested in Mahomes if he actually had those personality issues?
If it's your gut feeling, then whatever. I guess, sure, you can listen to that voice in the pit of your stomach. I'm just saying that given what we and the Chiefs coaches know now about Pat Mahomes, it may be time to ignore that gut feeling. There's quite a bit of evidence that says Mahomes' behavior around the team and in the locker room is anything BUT that of a silver spooned rich boy who got everything handed to him on a silver platter most of his life from his millionaire dad.

Excellent. Just.
Perfect.
Where in THEE **** is Tardbob getting this "spoiled rich kid"-horseshit from anyway? All I've ever seen is a kid with high energy, great relation and leadership skills, exceptional, natural talent, and an absolutely unhidden desire to be elite at his craft.
I have a theory.
Would you like to hear it?
Of course:
We're about to witness the equivalent of an old-time religion revival in the form of about several hundred thousand everyday Chiefs fans, who after being conditioned to believe that players like DeBerg and Smith are "great QB's"( you know the type I'm talking about ), are going to be literally tap-dancing to the ****ing loony bin, believing that they have in fact acquired "Football Jesus" in the form of Patrick Mahomes II.
It's-a comin'.
