Truth:

“I’m getting beat out there and you don’t read about Mitchell Schwartz in these articles,” Schwartz says. “You’re trying new techniques to see what works for you and what doesn’t. Yesterday I gave up a pressure, and he’s trying to avoid it and throws a pick. That’s my fault, but it gets reported that it’s Pat’s fault.”

I'm glad they explained the interception situation. Such an overblown fact being thrown around by lazy reporters.

If this doesn't shut everyone the **** up, I don't know what will.

“I told you at the beginning of camp I don’t care about all that stuff. I want him to test the offense. That’s so important,” Reid told reporters earlier in camp. “We give him a ton of plays, I want him testing it. If you don’t have the intestinal fortitude to go and test it, you’re going to be one of these quarterbacks that checks it down every time, and that’s not what it’s all about."

Agree 100%. Don't like the diva behavior about his picks. Also don't like people making excuses for his picks; you can't have one without the other so accept that he's human with the potential to be a football God. It's preseason and the right time to experiment with what you have.

I ****ing deliver.

Brett Veach—then the co-director of player personnel, now the Chiefs general manager—would see when the head coach would break for lunch. At that point in the day, Reid would have a pretty good read on the quarterback, and as he walked past the windows of Veach’s office, he would look down and swipe his hand from left to right as if to say “no way.” The kid couldn’t be their guy of the future.

Then Patrick Mahomes visited to the team facilities. Veach saw Reid on his way to lunch and looked for a hand signal. He got eye contact and a thumbs-up—full approval from one of the best offensive minds in today’s NFL.

“It wasn’t just a nod or a smile, it was a thumbs up with a smile,” Veach says. “Turning that hall I remember coach looking at me like, ‘Yeah, this is the dude.’”
