Y'all see him after the TD run? I think it was after the TD run anyway, but Mahomes was up next to him getting him fired up and Mahomes made him look like a little kid. And Mahomes is hardly a big football player.

The guy isn't just football small - he's normal human being small. And for as cut as he is, he still doesn't have a large frame in the same sense that a guy like Mark Ingram does. Even a guy like Darren Sproles was just built sturdier. Thompson is strong, but he's still angular. He's not built like a short, squad guy - He's built like a miniaturized tall guy.

Devin "Motor" Singletary is 5’ 7” and 203 lbs... he seems to do fine for the Bills..

ESPN lists Mahomes as 6' 3" and 230lbs. That's a big QB.

Yeah but don't you feel like Singletary is built differently? That's kinda the point I'm trying to make. It isn't even strictly about height/weight but rather about build and how that weight is carried. Frankly, I think they're sneaking in about 15-20 lbs on Darwin, but it's really neither here nor there.

I know what his measurables are but man, to just look at the guy he isn't very big at all. I was frankly stunned when I saw him in person. And I've seen the combine picks so I know the dude is YOKED. But he's just...angular. I think scouts call it 'high cut' and I don't know what they mean by that but I think it applies to Thompson.

And maybe it's just that he runs a little higher so he APPEARS to be less squat? Because the guy stands out for how small he is out there and it isn't just his height. He looks like a little kid standing next to guys.

And?

I didn't say a big quarterback. I said a big football player. As in a comparison to the guys that are going to be hitting Mr. Thompson.

Yes, Mahomes has a sturdy build for a QB. But as far as all football players go he's relatively ordinary. And a lot of the dudes that are gonna put a bullseye on Darwin are much MUCH bigger.

At first I thought it was pass pro. Then he had that dumb play a few games ago where he ran out of bounds to stop the clock when we were milking it. So I’ve always wondered if it was a combo of those two or if they were hiding him for the late season run. If the latter were true though, I doubt they would’ve put him on tape like that last week for New England to see, so yeah....I’m really confused.

Reminds me of Tarik Cohen

he's the only RB that has shown any ability to break a tackle and have some burst.

If he is going to get to play his pass pro better be a lot better.

Chris Meck 12-07-2019 10:13 AM

I agree the issue has to have been pass pro and blitz pick-up.

That said, I'm excited about his potential.

We're never going to be a 'power running game' so why not just kill mother****ers with speed from the RB spot too?

Better than what? Where are the issues? Have you seen them or are you assuming?

Maybe he is just now ready or maybe he has been ready and wasnt allowed to go in the game. Id like to believe the coaches know best but if you believe that then why did Mcullogh have to insist on putting him out there. Bienemy and Reid had to be forced into it, it sounds like.

Either way, I hope he is ready and provides the spark in the run game we have been missing. Maybe see some classic Spencer Ware moves as well!

To be fair, though... The game was already over. He looked impressive but the raiders didn't look like they cared at that point.

If we can utilize a play maker going into ****sborough Massachushits then we can dump a bunch of tea in the harbor and have us a party.

He has failed miserably. I have seen it with my own eyes as have many others. It has been pointed out when he has had the opportunity. He failed twice last week in 2 opportunities. Yes the penalty was BS but he lack of technique and ability still made Mahomes roll out early.

Mahomes has had to roll out early on most drop backs all year. How is it different with mighty mouse in there?
