*****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.. |

I love how desensitized I am to that video.
If any of our QBs pre-Mahomes had earned a video like that we would have been absolutely over the moon. All for his worst season as a pro |

And I absolutely believe those will come. I mean by any mortal metric, he's just entering his prime years. He probably has another couple of seasons of improvement before he plateaus at that level for probably another 6-8 years. This isn't the best version of him. And that version can/will absolutely massacre quality teams. I do think sometime in the next few years he'll have a playoff run that borders on mythic where he just sets creation on fire. And eventually he'll have one of those Super Bowls where he wins by 20+ points. That's the strangest thing about his 'clutch' gene to me - how often he's needed it. Because I would really expect him to have run away with some of these ballgames. Soon... |

Tyreek is the best one.
"Pats still Pat....yeah yeah..." That wasn't fun for him. |

While it sucks that we came up short that year, I still maintain these many glorious years later that the experiences of that postseason yielded fruit down the road. |

I chalk it up to the regular season being a grind. After the Christmas debacle, Mahomes and the rest of the team, went back into playoff mode. This year, I think they will be at their best and focused as they try for NFL immortality with a 3 peat.

Which should've still gotten him the 1 spot because there's just no question who the best player in the sport is. As I said in-season, even the greatest to ever do it don't have their best year every year. Sometimes they have seasons that are 80% of their peak capacity and those seasons are still stellar. But they're STILL the greatest to to do it. I can understand not giving him the MVP in any given year over the next 5. But I cannot for the life of me understand not putting him at 1 on this list every year. Because even if he doesn't play at the level of the best player in the game that single season, he's still the guy in the sport that literally every single GM in football would take at 1.1 in a re-draft. It's ridiculous. |

The list is technically the top NFL players of 2023, and there’s a guy on the list who played 4 freakin snaps all year.
So a player’s reputation and history DOES matter. Which means it’s bullshit that Mahomes isn’t #1 |
