*****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.. |

Just another article...
https://fansided.com/2018/11/15/patr...-2018-nfl-mvp/ It's interesting as you read that, especially the emphasis on his humility, to contrast him with other recent highly touted QBs. Can any of us imagine Mahomes walking into a presser and saying "When I woke up this morning, I felt dangerous..." I mean **** you, Baker. How'd you feel the week before when you got butt****ed at home by a team that never took it out of 3rd gear? Way to puff out your chest after you finally manage to win a game. There's a lot of truth to that - Mahomes attitude resonates with fans here just as much as his performance. Baker wouldn't be as revered to most of us as Mahomes is because we just LIKE Mahomes more. That counts for something. |

Agreed. He demonstrated what a d-bag he was when he quit on his Texas Tech teammates and transferred to OU. The sad part is that the media completely bought into his "poor me" sob story. I don't understand their infatuation with him. Mahomes has more talent and is a standup citizen with humilty

Had he not "quit on his Texas Tech teammates" he'd have never been the #1 overall pick. You're really gonna shit on the kid for making the decision that was undeniably the right decision for him to make? With his size and without pop off the page arm talent, he'd have been a 5th round pick and probably stuck behind someone like Matt Ryan. I don't fault him for seeing the writing on the wall and leaving for a situation that allowed him to showcase his skills and advance his career immeasurably. Lots of guys do that without being a shithead about it. The problem is that he did that WHILE being a shithead. The former isn't demonstrative of the latter but the latter is pretty much inarguable. |

Baker will be made or broke depending who they bring in to coach. If it's not an offensive guy, he'll have a so so career.

Mayfield doesn't. Mayfield is what people said Mahomes would be. He does lock onto his first read and he will force balls into places he can't get it. He freelances too much and doesn't throw on time. He needs to be 'broken' of some things he did in college to succeed. Mahomes, OTOH, can take that stuff he did in college and just make it work at this level because he's a clearly superior prospect in literally every conceivable way. But it's !@#$ing Mayfield who walks around yapping like his shit doesn't stink. I really don't like that guy. |
