Dan Marino is the best comparison for impact at a young age.

Didn’t win MVP until his 5th season (and that was a strike year mind you, lots of controversy between the Montana/Rice split vote)

Was gifted top defense in 1984, finished 13-3, and promptly went one and done, losing to a Steeler team quarterbacked by someone named Mark Malone?:-)

Nah

Sounds like you are obliviously bias about this or forgot how athletic and strong Elway's arm was and the fucking daggers to the heart with his 3rd and long cross body throws
[Reply]

He was always physically talented but simply didn’t do what Mahomes did until his 5th season
[Reply]

Get used to it. We have the measure of every QB to come into the NFL.
[Reply]

Yeah, I really miss the days when NO ONE compared their new young quarterback full of potential...to Alex Smith
[Reply]

Alice was a necessary penance to acquire football jesus..

After The Thigpen, Cassell, Croyle, Huard years it wasn't that fucking bad.

Garappolo and Lock are certainly full of something, but it ain't "potential"
[Reply]

They are full of potential. Potential failure.

This. Hard to get tired of hearing people talk about Mahomes.

Nobody ever said "This guy looks great, he's gonna be the next Elvis Grbac!"
[Reply]

Pretty much what I was going to say. I'm not pissed or worried about these comparisons and futile hopes of reaching the talent of Patrick. It's a good problem to have.
[Reply]

ON a serious note I think it's pretty ****ing awesome that Mahomes is now the new measuring stick for young QB's.

Nothing new. This is what the media does. Except now it's OUR QB everyone is dreaming their guy can match. Not some dickhead in Green Bay or some douchebag in Indiana.

Nope. Our guy.

This is such an awesome thing.

That midjet is nothing. He will get crushed by NFL defenses.

Add Jordan Love to the list.

Oh and lmao at Jimmy Grapes being compared to Pat. Fire that writer yesterday :-)
