The only Mahomes thread you need

[jeffismagic]

I would trade UP for Mahomes. You people that think Mahomes is a late first, early second rounder are too trusting of the McShay's of the world. Mahomes is a def top 15 pick, and probably will go in the first 10 picks.

 

This is a more athletic Brett Favre. He'll throw a lot more than 6 interceptions...even as a vet...but he'll also throw 35 Tds, and 5000 yards to boot.

 

My scouting friend that was high on Dak last year is all about Mahomes. I asked him for an NFL comparable. He said the high end? Drew Brees.

[KOKBILLS]

If the Bills take Mahomes I will be happy with the draft. Get him in here.

 

^^^ This...

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Mahomes is my favorite QB in the draft. If there is a partner, then trading back to before the Texans pick in the 1st round would be a great value spot for him.

I agree. I think he's a top 10 pick. Prisco already has him going to the Jets ahead of us.

 

And even if he's not, people who act like you can fine tune first round selections of any kind, let alone QBs, are crazy. If someone is worth pick 25 he is worth pick 10, if he's your guy.

 

Every team likely has a different ranking of players 5 through 30. Sure, you can place people into appropriate tiers (and even that is just a semi-educated guess), but those tiers are MUCH wider than most people think. Playing games to "maximize" the essentially unquantifiable value of a given draft pick is stupid. Better to just ID players you feel good about and draft them when it's your turn.

 

Sure, if there a bunch of players you rate as roughly equal, trade down by all means if the opportunity presents itself. But I would never trade down hoping to get my guy at a "better" value slot. If he's my guy, he's my guy.

 

I have no idea what the Bills think of Mahomes, of course, or of Watson or of anyone else. But if they do like one of these QBs they should take him at 10 and make no apologies.

Dude if he goes to the Jets we are so F'd.

[Last Guy on the Bench]

Dude if he goes to the Jets we are so F'd.

I feel the same way. There's something about him that I just love.

 

I support bringing Tyrod back; I enjoy watching him play and think he gives us as good a chance to win as any of the immediately available options. Hopefully he can develop even further (not sure about that).

 

But I think if I had draft day power, I would draft Mahomes at 10 anyway, even if all the other QBs are still available, and even if we still have Tyrod.

[YoloinOhio]

Dude if he goes to the Jets we are so F'd.

i don't think the Jets are going to take a QB, especially in the first round. They have 2 QBs on the roster who they took in the last 2 drafts who they have yet to develop, one was in the 2nd round. They need to add a vet QB in FA and I expect Glennon or Cutler, one who has started games before and can compete with the other two to start. Adding a 3rd rookie to the mix just adds more inexperience and no assurance any of them could start in the NFL.

[DriveFor1Outta5]

I don't see Mahomes as a guy who is going to save a franchise. I think he could be the type of a player who at his best could help sneak a team into the playoffs. The Jets are such a joke that only a once in a lifetime type QB prospect going there would worry me. Mahomes isn't that guy. He might become a competent NFL QB, but I don't see him as a guy who can completely alter the course of a franchise. Nothing about the Jets worries me. The Jets certainly aren't going to put a young QB in a position to win. Edited March 2, 2017 by DriveFor1Outta5

The guy you are describing is Tyrod.

If you ever watched him play I do not see how you could come to the conclusion you have.

[jeffismagic]

"Mahomes took note of a conversation with Peyton. “He watches himself over and over again,” Mahomes says. “Peyton watched the TV version of himself. He watched as much film on himself as he does on others.” And so Mahomes went home and entered a YouTube wormhole searching “Pat Mahomes clips.”

Mahomes says his new habit helped him cut interceptions down from 15 in 2015 to 10 last season (despite a slight uptick in pass attempts). Perhaps next year he’ll even begin TiVo-ing his games, he says. NFL teams hope Mahomes continues on that curve."

Do I have to repeat what I said before so here it goes again

 

 

I wrote this in another post a bout Mahomes. This guy is the best QB in the draft bar none. He will be a pro bowler down the line. He is the closest thing to Aaron Rogers and Brett Farve there is.

He makes un believable throws that are Acurate from weird angels and with bad foot work. This guy is the one you want. NFL is not like college. You don't always get a lot of clean pockets and you don't always get to set up and throw on balance or get your feet set. I want a QB that can throw on the run or throw when his feet are not correct and people are in his face. This guy can do that in spades. Go watch him on YouTube you will see something extraordinary. Don't get fooled about the experts saying oh his foot work is bad, His back leg shakes, Blah, Blah, Blah. Watch Chargers Rivers, Watch GB Rogers these guys throw

at all angels, throw with in correct foot work and throw on the move across there body all the time. Who the Fu@k cares how they throw it. Does he complete the passes yes he does. Yes you will be required to do that in The NFL , good one's can pull it off. Well when I watch Mahomes that's what I see. So please just stop the nonsense. If we get this guy a great new Era in Bills football is about to begin.

[DriveFor1Outta5]

If you ever watched him play I do not see how you could come to the conclusion you have.

I've seen him play. I'm just numb to QB's putting up huge numbers in the Big 12. No one plays defense in that conference. I didn't say he'd be bad, I just don't see him as a franchise savior. The Jets aren't going to be the place that puts anyone in a good position to succeed.

I don't see any Mahomes fans discussing his numbers. That's not why we want him.

 

He has great pocket presence, feel. Big arm, fast release, and accuracy. That's why I want him.

I agree. There is something about him that I love. Had the same feeling about Dak last year. Even with his hideous mechanics, the ball goes exactly where it needs to. I say trade to mid 1st and take him.

What really jumps off the screen for me is his swagger. That's the real "it" quality. He looks like he wants to score on every drive.

[17 Josh Allen]

Let me ask all the detractors of him, how many times does a NFL QB go back and set up and not have to move off his spot. Most times QBs end up having to move and throw off there back foot

or throw moving forward or rolling out. Playing QB in the NFL you don't have a lot of time. Go watch this kid play, watch him throw.

He is doing amazing stuff. Making throws from all sorrts or bad angles of his back foot, flat footed and on the run. Most of them right on the mark. I could care less about his satistics or how many TDs he's thrown. He has started a ton of games. This guy is a leader and he has a very strong arm. He can do things most QB's can only dream about. He is Farve he is Rogers he has that gift. Keep wanting that perfect foot work and throwing motion guy.

I take this guy over that guy 10 ways to Sunday every day of the week. If we are lucky to get this guy I be dancing in the street.

I take him with the first pick in the draft he is that good.

I like him a lot better than Watson and Trubisky. I'm not bashing the guy. I'm just not sure if I'm ready to compare him to Rodgers and Favre. I got into this conversation by commenting on a poster worried the Jets might take him. I think that the Jets are so void of talent that no young QB will succeed there.

He isn't easy to project because of the gimmicky offense. But there is more to him than that and he does more pro style stuff than people realize. Opportunity is here. Rodgers dropped because NFL GM's didn't want to draft another Tedford system bust. They also said Rodgers held the ball too high. Packers fixed that flaw in 5 seconds.

I agree. I like his upside better than Watson or Trubisky. You're right in the fact that he's just really difficult to project. The Big 12 style of play and the subsequent lack of quality pro QB's from that conference complicates the issue further. The defense in that conference is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen on a football field.

[17 Josh Allen]

Buffalo meet the next great NFL gunslinger with heart

with the rocket arm, no part of the field can not be found

by this guy. Heart, touch, leadership, rocket missile launches,

throwing from every angle, running gunning.

 

https://youtu.be/FFxfF_g1oyQ

[DriveFor1Outta5]

I'd take him if he falls to the second round. I like Mahomes the best out of the QB's in a class I otherwise dislike. I'm just unwilling to go as far as calling him a sure thing like a lot of posters here seem to think.

[8-8 Forever?]

 

Yep. If we are cutting Tyrod and taking Mahomes as the future then my plan would be sign a McCown like vet and start him the first 6 or 8 games but basically give Mahomes all the practice reps. You'd be 1-7 or something after that but so what?

yep. so what? is exactly the mindset required right now...

 

Its all blown up now, so might as well go all the way.. make it $20 general admission for a few years, do a SanDiego Pegs, have some fun while the big rebuild happens and the GOAT gets older

Here is Patrick Mahomes playing against the great LSU Tigers Defense from the SEC in his Bowl Game. Just some unbelievable plays by Mahomes. These are the type of players he will be playing against in the NFL. Maybe he will have some offensive linemen to protect him. LSU is chasing him all over the field and the kid is just making plays like a Farve or Rogers would. This guy is special you can just see it, feel it and sense it. These might be his most interesting high lights because of the stud defense LSU has. This is fun to watch. It's like watching Farve in his prime

[KellyToughII]

I like him a lot. I feel We are a great team to have a rookie start this year. We have a system that can be good for him and most of the time have him hand off and rely on the Running game. By next year, when he has more experience and we have more pieces in place, we make a playoff + Run.

I haven't watched much of Mahomes but he had some

Unbelievable throws in that game. Crazy to see what he can do without even setting his feet. I don't think you would want him starting day 1 but I can see why people are high on him.

[17 Josh Allen]

You can't teach what he does and how he makes those throws in any of his games or in that LSU game against future NFL defenders. Only guys like Farve and Rogers and a hand full of other QB's can do that. I don't care what anyone says. I said it when the Bills passed on Russell Wilson and I say it right now.

You pass on this guy your making a big mistake. I can't wait for the John Gruden QB camp thing with Mahomes. Just like the Russell Wilson one. Man you could just tell that he was going to be special. Here it is for those who missed Russell Wilson with John Gruden how do you not draft this guy after watching this

Just a quick note tomorrow on the NFL network the QB's will be center stage. Chance to check out the big 4 and Pat Mahomes.

I think it starts at 9am.

I am most interested to see Mahomes. I am guessing he has been working with someone on his footwork since the season can he, at least in the sterile Combine drill scenario, find some consistency with that wavey back foot.

Gunner, Get on board the bus is getting crowded.

 

My position is the same as it has been for a long time: Evaluate the qb prospects and then decide on the best one for you. There comes a point that waiting for the non existent perfect prospect is a recipe for continued failure. Being cautious to the point of passivity is not a winning strategy. Enough is enough!

In the highlights you can see LSU jump offsides and right away Mahomes see the guy jumped and fires the ball for a TD to the endzone knowing he has a free play. Love it.
