    Mahomes is looking good

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Where is the guy who started a thread about Mahomes back in January. I tried to look for his thread but can't find it. The kid is picking up NFL game faster than expected for sure. I've watched both pre-season games. Smith is still much better but this kid is an NFL QB.

    Nope. No he's not.

    1. I am a Chiefs fan. 2. It is pre season.

    Here is the thing about Mahomes that stands out in the games, in the practices, etc. if you watch the pass he makes on third down scrambling way back and around the side for a completion to convert and keep the Drive going...it's that play that only a handful of guys can make in the NFL. Mahomes makes THAT play because he can. It's the difference between settling for 3 or going on to score 7. Alex Smith can not, and does not make that throw. We've seen smith in that situation 100 times. That drive ends in a field goal attempt 100/100 times because that is a play Smith can't make. It is one Aaron Rodgers can. In a league where most games are decided by less than 7, this is exactly the kind of thing that makes the difference you can't find on a stat sheet. The box score calls that a completed pass for 5 yards on 3rd and 2. It doesn't say only a few guys in the league could have made the play and the drive ended in 7 instead of 3. Big numbers are put up by the Staffords and the Rivers types all the time. It's a passing league. You guys are going to regret missing out on him.

    Nope. No we aren't.

     

    You can't make up for footwork like he has. Arm or not, guy's mechanics are abysmal and he's lucky he's facing 2nd stringers because once he's against real players, he's in for a rude awakening.

     

    Mahomes. Hahaha.

    Watkins and Zay Jones combine numbers

    Goodwin had very good combine numbers but obviously he wasn't much of a player. the combine doesn't tell the whole story. the first thing scouts look at is the TAPE. the combine numbers are just another tool to help solidify what they see on film.

    But Goodwin wasn't a good college receiver. He was a track star who played a little football. And he played just ok.

     

    Zay had an established college career and had good measurables. Using Goodwin was an example is poor.

     

    Watkins plays faster than Zay but it is interesting to see the test scores. I'm excited about Zay Jones.
