BringBackOrton Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 If you don’t wish the Bills had drafted Mahomes instead of Allen, you are not a true fan of the Bills. Because that is the one move that would have cemented a franchise QB for us for the next decade at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers has one of the worst throwing motions, Mahomes is silky smooth with the ball. Yea, throwing off your back foot is silky smooth. Rivers has done more with less than any QB over the past 10 years while Mahomes is chucking off his back foot to some of the best skill players in the NFL all while loosing back to back home games.

Footwork nonsense. He is deadly accurate with the flick of his wrist. He has shown that he is the exception. Footwork is the reason why many teams passed on him. How did that work out?

I was nervous about it coming out and dropped his grade as a result. He has got it to the point where it is a bit more consistent and as you say he is deadly accurate regardless.

I feel a large part of this was going to a team that let him sit the year under a HC who knows how to groom QBs then put him into a nice situation I absolutely do not hate Mahommes.....I think that ppl just discount that going to a certain team situation rather then another one CAN really help a QB along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 20 minutes time of possession yesterday, he threw for 370 yards and 3 TDs (both just above his season average). Where he was bad yesterday was the INT. First one of the season.

Mahomes seems very down to earth, and yeah KC is closer to a Buffalo than say LA or NYC. Be it interviews or whatever, I don’t see a bit of AB or OBJ in Pat Mahomes. While that draft has been rehashed to death, I can’t see “ fit” or personality, character etc as a reason the Bills wouldn’t draft Mahomes. That had zero to with it imo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expected PM to come down to earth this year after the gaudy season he had last....doesnt mean he isnt a very good QB...and doesnt mean I cant like what the bills did.

folz Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Look, Mahomes is great, and I'm sure there are fans here who wanted the Bills to pick him that draft. And right now, there are a ton of franchises that wish they picked him or traded up for him. BUT...it was the right decision for the Bills to pass on Mahomes at that time. That's the part that the "we should have picked Mahomes crowd" never seems to acknowledge. We had a first year defensive head coach. A GM that was about to be fired (what if the next GM doesn't like the QB you picked...instant conflict in the building), you don't trust the current scouting reports you have and haven't scouted the players in depth yourself (from McDermott's perspective), it was considered to be a weak QB class, while the following year's draft when you'd have your new GM was supposed to be a once in a generation QB class, neither Mahomes nor Watson were considered can't miss picks, they knew they were going to have to deconstruct the team first before building it back up (do you want to expose your new QB to that?), and maybe as a first year coach it was hard to put an offensive staff together that you trusted to develop a young QB (Dennison was obviously not McDermott's first choice for OC), McDermott didn't even know his own team yet (his player's strengths or weaknesses, their attitudes, who should stay and who should go), etc. This team was not ready to pick their franchise QB that year, it's that simple. In hindsight, sure, maybe you pick Mahomes and hope he is mentally tough enough to get through a tough first couple of years as you build around him. But again, it is not like everyone knew Mahomes was going to be as good as he has been either. People say it all the time, the draft is a crap shoot. And there was no guarantee with Mahomes. Maybe you liked him, but how many other QBs have you liked in drafts over the years that turned out to be busts? McD rightly played the odds at that time, and waited another year for a QB. It was the right call with the information he had and the situation that he was in. There is a term in friendly poker games called rabbit hunting. It is when a hand is over (maybe you folded) and you ask the dealer to see the next card, just to see if maybe you would have won. The dealer flips the card and its the card you needed to fill your inside straight. Damn, you could have won the pot. But, in reality, you still did the right thing by folding, because 9 out of 10 times you lose that hand. It seems to me that people are forgetting the odds and doing a little rabbit hunting when it comes to Mahomes.

They jumped up 17-3 on the Texans. Then they pretty much stopped scoring. Just play your game, cover their WR and run the ball. Do that and you have a very good chance to beat them. They are front runners Oncet they feel pressure they crack. Scrappy tough teams win titles. Super team offenses come up short when things get ugly. Just look at NE. Every Super Bowl they've won they gave been a tough scrappy team that could run and play D. When they became super offense they lost all 3 times. In both NE Giants Super Bowls NE didn't score more than 17 points. And that's Brady Belichick and the blessing of Satan. KC has a great young QB and Andy Reid, who I am convinced will always come up just short.
