Patrick Mahomes

[RunKC]

I am so high on this kid right now, and it says a lot bc I'm terrified of taking a Big 12 QB (they never work out) but Jesus Christ is this kid impressive as hell. He looks just as good as any QB in this class bar none.

Let's review:

-above average size/build (6'3" 230 lbs)
-above average mobility
-elite arm...his dad played for the Twins so it's in his genes.
-solid accuracy
-set a lot of passing records
-smart kid
-only 21 years old

Watch this kid play. Seriously. He's got arm talent that can remind people of the same talent Aaron Rodgers had as a prospect. Not just arm strength but a quick release.

This guy looks like the next Russell Wilson/Dak Prescott and he would be a great fit here.

Pat Kirwan
A well respected QB coach for decades in the NFL told me Mahomes has the best arm talent since Brett Favre. Raw & not ready but worth it!

I'm all in on him if we have a chance

Me too thanks. He has size arm and attitude. Enough for me.

Does he drink a glass of water with both hands?

At the Combine today Mayoc showed some tape on Mahomes where he made a side-arm, off balance throw to a receiiver in the EZ about 35 - 40 yards down the field where he hit his receiver in the hands right over a defenders out stretched hands, and Mahomes made the play on the run.
I gotta admit he's an incredible talent but a HC would have to have a lot of
latitude to turn a guy like that lose on the field to do his thing.
Could Reid be that kind of coach ?

I don't have ESPN Insider, but before the article got cut off Kiper mentioned that Mahomes could be available in the 2nd or 3rd round...

Patrick Mahomes II, QB, Texas Tech

Mahomes, who measured in at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, put on an impressive display in the on-field workouts, showing that he can make all of the throws. He also put up the best 20-yard shuttle (4.08 seconds) time and third-best three-cone drill (6.88) time and had a solid 40-yard dash (4.8). The former Red Raider signal-caller is more of a thrower than a pitcher who can pick his spots at this point, but his arm talent is undeniable. He's extremely raw -- his footwork and mechanics on tape are maddeningly inconsistent -- and the air raid system in which he played will likely cause some hesitation among teams. From all I've heard, however, Mahomes is a sponge who wants to learn and develop, and he'll work hard to learn the playbook when he's drafted. I think Mahomes is entrenched as the fourth quarterback in this draft -- behind Mitch Trubisky, Deshaun Watson and DeShone Kizer -- and he's in the mix to be picked in the second or third round.

The Pick: QB Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech
Draft a developmental quarterback for the inevitable decline of Alex Smith or plug holes and try to load up for one more Super Bowl run?
Those are the options facing the Chiefs with pick No. 27 overall. With no viable long-term option on the roster behind Smith—unless the team keeps Nick Foles in a restructured deal—it makes sense to grab a talented quarterback if one happens to be available and then focus on team-building in Rounds 2-7.
Patrick Mahomes has unreal tools, but needs his mechanics re-worked and time to acclimate to a pro offense before he's thrown to the wolves of an NFL defense. Andy Reid would be the ideal QB mentor for Mahomes to learn under, which might make this match too good to be true.

Damn. Remember when I first watched him on January 3rd and the boner brigade began.


So glad we got this kid.

Yeah, he said that on March 7th, Mouthbreater

A ton of people were dead-on accurate in this thread.

And I gotta compliment Knowmo on his consistency. He was just as scared of Mahomes in January as he is now

I'm too lazy to pour through this thing, but I'm sure someone would LOVE to compile an entire listing of naysayer postings, complete with the usual tripe from our resident Alexsexuals proclaiming that Reid would NEVAH undermine the confidence of his precious boo, and that the Chiefs would be concentrating on MOAR WEPUNS for their "Franchise QB"!

It's really not that bad at all. Most of the guys except for one or two were really intrigued, and some (like Dane) were dead-on accurate. Billay is totally wrong when he says shit about CP posters being ****ing terrible at player evaluation. We get stuff wrong, but I'd be willing to stack CP's best up against the fans of any other NFL forum. Betcha we would hold our own.

You got THAT shit right.

I've seen plenty of other boards, Chiefs and otherwise. Those people are morons.
