When did you realize he was special?
Broncos game for me when he stepped in for Alex.

Legit Denver defense? Come on now.

When did I know for sure? The 3rd & 13 to Hill ending with the touch pass to Sherman in the SD game last year. There were actual tears.

I think after the 2017 Broncos game it was more fathomable that the end of the Alex Smith era was much closer to being realized but I had not yet assumed Mahomes was "special". The 2018 preaseason games were definite eye openers as well but I still had doubts that he could do it consistently.

I think week 2 going into Pittsburgh against a team that dominates the Chiefs every single year and putting up 42 points in a win was the I think the first time I thought to myself that Mahomes was special, and not that he was going to be special in a year or two down the road but that he was going to be an elite quarterback right away.

The trade to move up and grab Mahomes will be not only a Chiefs defining moment but a NFL defining moment.

Yeah I think the Bengals game I realized we had something and then the Titans preseason pass was HOLEEE SHIT but I wasn't sure how well it would hold up. But during that Steelers game I was jumping up and down after one of his passes to Kelce and it hit me...Whoa this is no joke...we have once a decade or so talent here. I almost cried.

Also another note....when they showed the film of him walking through the facilities before the playoff game against the Colts and everyone working at Arrowhead was t bumping him and saying "get em Patty" I was like WHOA I could be wrong but I never remember seeing anything like that from any of our other playoff games. It was like the crew knew "he's too good to jinx with any BS playoff superstition"
