Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

The OPY can be on non playoff team. MVP really can't. [Reply]
.@nyjets@NFL and every team with a young or rookie QB. Please; stop with these “empty sets” Every DC sees these and it’s an automatic check Just look at what happened to Andrew Luck. It has taken him 2 years to return to form after the beating he took. STOP #BaldysBreakdownspic.twitter.com/pSeb6l9Ymc
Mahomes is immune to fantasy football rankings :-)

His 313 passing yards against Jacksonville was the most the Jaguars have allowed since the 2016 season. His 304 passing yards against Denver was the most by a road quarterback against them since the 2014 season.”
On Sunday, Mahomes faced off against another tough opponent. The Browns, up to that point, were leading the NFL in opposing passer rating (77.1) while also ranking first in schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Mahomes’ fantasy immunity to tough opponents might not matter for much longer, as his schedule softens up considerably over his next three games, against the Cardinals, Rams, and Raiders.

So look at the right side and find your hot. He had the guy on the hitch route - hit him. Gotta locate the blitz, look through it and find the guy that the blitz opened up.
Dude's gonna take a shot either way - deliver the ball. You know how you stop getting hit when guys send 5 or 6? Make them stop sending 5 or 6. And the way you do that is by beating it. Get that ball out, have your guy break a tackle and go for 20+ yards a couple of times and they'll slow that rush down.
I disagree with Baldinger here - coaches can't be afraid to work empty because their QB fails. Their QB has to learn to succeed or you end up finding another QB.
The league has evolved, Rich (or Brian or whoever you are) - A championship quality team HAS to be able to function in an empty set on occasion. And if you have a young QB who isn't up to speed - get him there. Gotta let him learn. Then you just have some selection bias at work - if he gets broken in the process, he probably wasn't ever gonna be what you'd hoped anyway. [Reply]
You talk to defenders around the league and they say you can’t let Patrick Mahomes extend plays and scramble around. He’ll kill you that way. Well, he’s also apparently the best QB in the league when he gets rid of the ball quickly. pic.twitter.com/J0TgeZYnlp

I'd guess they'd say atleast that way he's killing you 20 yards at a time. When he gets out and can move around you're literally having guys go 70 on you if you're not careful. [Reply]
That's whats so awesome about this offense. They're just mowing defenses down 20 plus yards at a time. Like, does it surprise anyone when they have a 30 yard play? It's just kinda "yeah, they do that a lot good job" ho hum.
They score in 5 plays a lot. Makes it tough on the D> [Reply]
