Patrick Mahomes has the same 40 yd dash as Peyton Manning

[DRM08]

Deshaun Watson is quite a bit slower in the 20 yard shuttle. He's a lot faster than Patrick in a straight line over 40 yards, but Patrick has quicker feet...might help explain why Patrick doesn't get sacked as often. Deshaun has a bad OL, but he also hangs on to the ball too long and I don't think he has the same elusiveness as Pat. The shuttle time shows it at least. Pat's shuttle time is right there with Russell Wilson.

All you gotta do is look at the footage of him clowning Von Miller and Khalil Mack. Those guys are the best in the business and Patrick had no trouble avoiding them in the scramble drill. He has some serious Fran Tarkenton magic to his scrambling IMHO.

From all the hype we are hearing about the Niner pass rush, it sounds like he will definitely need this magic scrambling talent in the big game. I look forward to seeing how it plays out!

It's not a matter of physical ability, Watson just doesn't know how to move in the pocket and holds onto the ball for far too long. And he actually had one of the better olines in the league this season.

I think a lot of it is just down to timing. He seems to know exactly when to jump to juke out of some of those tackles. And he doesn't telegraph what he's going to do next. His play style is so often improvised, I don't think HE always knows what he's going to do next.

Yeah, his instincts are amazing.

That dude is as slippery as I've ever seen a QB be.
