For all those who want to question his understanding or desire to play within limitations.

If we drafted him I'm pretty sure I will (attempt to) do a backflip.

Mahomes looked pretty good in his debut last night. Not Trubisky good but good. What's missing from the link is his first pass. 35 yards bomb over a defender, hitting his wr in stride, called back for a hold. I watched some of his reps and he looked good but the chiefs were conservative with him running it on a lot of 3rd downs.

After the first preseason Trubiski is the winner the other 3 though didn't slouch.

yeah, not horrible. to me he definitely looks the rawest of the four out there. he landed in a such a good spot for him though, i really hope he tears it up.

I agree but I thought the play calling didn't do him any favors. Clearly the rawest.

DUDE YES!!!

I fucking paused the "tape" and looked him up because I was like who the FUCK is this kid!? My lord that short area burst and the way they kept having him run those jerk routes.

Mahomes is just so much fun to watch.
I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!

Mahomes my favorite QB in the class. He still throws off balance and trusts his arm to much. But that kid is going to be special.

He still looks so raw, really needs to clean up his mechanics but I just love his "fuck you/never say die" attitude. Kid's going to be a blast to watch.

Given how maligned this class was coming out it'll be very interesting if there are three solid starters that result from it. Obviously a long way to go before that happens but it at least looks plausible at the moment.

I think in the end it's going to be a better class than people thought. Trubisky, Watson, and Mahommes look to be legit prospects. I think Kizer is a starter in the NFL, just not in Cleveland. Peterman, Beathard, and Dobbs are at least backup level guys. Kelly and Webb are still unknowns. Kaaya is kind of the odd one out...I don't think he even made it through camp.

I liked Wilson in the tape but I'd point out that there were multiple guys open on most plays. Nagy was killing them on the chalkboard and protection seemed to be the determining factor on a given play.

Other highlights give me flashes of Henry Burris, and worrying if he's going to be able to hang w/ NFL quality secondaries.

Didn't everyone go goo-goo gah-gah over RG III and Kappy.

I also luved Mahones and thought he was best QB in draft. That being said I am very happy with Mitchell right now as well.

Though if you ask my kid he will tell you I would of swapped first rounders that year and traded for Jimmy G.
