*****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.. |

He's a smart kid who works really hard and obviously wants to improve and wants to play....sooner rather than later. A lot of you guys are really over blowing his situation.. He will be the starter in 2018, and he damn well better be ready or the coaching staff has failed. With the staff we have, I don't expect them to fail.. |

O.City made the same comment back in January, that once he saw video of Mahomes games, he wouldn't take him before the 3rd round. I disagreed and thought the Chiefs should do whatever it takes to trade up and get him in the first and fortunately, they did just that. But QB's are overvalued each and every year because great QB's are so rare. Mahomes will not only need to fix his mechanics and call plays with 18 words, he'll need to do it naturally and not fall back into bad habits. The minute he's ready to lead the Chiefs will be when he's under center and not thinking about the play call or his mechanics, but the opposing defense. That's going to take time. |

As for the article...Reid has already said that he's not worried about his mechanics that much because he has the arm talent to get the ball wherever he wants it whether his mechanics are correct or not....Farve like, I believe he said.
Of course they will work to improve them, but it's not the issue that many, including the article's author make it out to be. Last edited by beach tribe; 06-09-2017 at 04:44 PM.. |

I don't think it will be an issue for the man to learn how to call plays. I started reading up on what goes into calling the plays, and I can half assed spit out west coast offense verbiage, having spent less than half an hr reading into it. I am not trying to downplay the difficulty of learning the playbook, but we are talking about over a year of watching, studying and practicing.. If the guy has half a brain, he will be ready to play.. If he is not on the field week one of 2018, then we should all be VERY worried. But that's not going to happen. Because playing time is also needed to really get a full grasp on how to play the position, and there is no way anyone spends a Top ten pick on a player, to not have him see the field until his third season. It has NEVER Happened before.....Ever. And it never will.. The closest thing is the Aaron Rodgers situation, which, actually, isn't the same situation, because not being ready, is not the reason he didn't play.

The mental part of the game will not be a huge concern IMO. He's way ahead of a prospect like Paxton Lynch mentally coming out of college. |

Not even Alex Smith thinks he will be starting for the Chiefs in 2018.

Dane, you have been right a lot on player evaluations. But I hope that you're wrong on this one. I am anxious to see our young gunslinger start. I don't mind giving him a year to develop, but man, I don't want to have to wait 2. But, if Andy decides that he needs another year, I'll trust his judgement.

In 18 he will start. Smith looks to probably go even further down hill. Freaking OTAs and already people are talking about him riding the bench for two years.

If Andy says he needs to sit year 2, I'm 100% fine with that. Last edited by RunKC; 06-09-2017 at 05:31 PM.. |

that NO ONE takes a QB in the first round and sits them for a year. NO ONE! ![]() And I would imagine that such a hard and fast rule is DOUBLY applicable if said team ACTUALLY TRADED PICKS TO MOVE UP AND GET HIM! ![]() |
