However, he has never really faced any NFL adversity, let alone adversity over a few weeks- the guy just performed all year.
It is inevitable that he’ll have some type of struggle, choke away a game, or have a poor stretch where the blame is mostly on him. The media will lap that shit up, I can see the headlines now “Mahomes is regressing” etc. Then he makes the media eat shit.
Anyways,
My guess for this first adversarial moment is: we lose back to back games where Mahomes throws a few brutal picks and fumbles. One game is not his fault, but one game he “fumbles it away like Jamaal against the Broncos”.
What do you think? If your answer is “never”, you might not be wrong. [Reply]

He also had a shit game in the first half of the AFC championship. Put up 31 in the 2nd half. I think we have our answer already on the intestinal fortitude of Mahomes. [Reply]
So you're saying when is he going to have a multi-game skid and how will he respond.
I guess my answer is that barring injury I don't think he'll have that. And if he does I think he'll respond with hard work and intelligent film study.
Ummm, the first half of the AFC Championship Game and the ending...I bet that game has been eating away at him, and he's motivated, and he's not going to have any type of sophomore slump. [Reply]
