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]
He has a unique haircut. That’s pretty pretty rare these days. It’s a signature. But, I understand his point but it doesn’t really matter. Is Mahomes going to parent/teacher night? Coach the little league baseball team?
I understand he wants “normal” for his kids and family. But, that’s never going to happen. He can’t go anywhere without being bothered. [Reply]

Career rushing yards/attempt (Super Bowl)
1. Marcus Allen • 1G 9.6

3. Dominic Rhodes • 1G 5.4
4. Walt Garrison • 2G 5.3
5. Patrick Mahomes • 3G 5.3
6. Tony Dorsett • 2G 5.2
7. Larry Csonka • 3G 5.2
8. Willie Parker • 2G 5
9. Kenneth Davis • 4G 4.8
10. Joseph Addai • 2G 4.8
Patrick is the only QB listed there.
ETA - On further consideration, this is even more surprising than I first thought. On the last possession in Super Bowl 54, he had 3 kneel downs for -15 yards. On the last possession of the 1st half in Super Bowl 55 Patrick had one kneel down for -1 yards. On our last possession in Super Bowl 57, he had 2 kneel downs for -7 yards. Google says Patrick has 20 career rushing attempts in the Super Bowl, so at 5.3 yards/rush, that is 106 yards. Subtracting out the 6 kneel downs gives him 14 rushing attempts and adding back the kneel down yardage of -15, -1,and -7 raises his yardage total to 129. So, without the kneel downs, Patrick is 9.2 yards/rush. That would raise him up to #3 on the list.
It is so fucking stupid that kneel downs are recorded as a rushing attempt. It's fucked him over his whole career. His actual ypc overall is insane if he didn't have so many kneel downs. (Good problem to have, I know.) [Reply]
If you criticize our quarterback, be prepared to dance at the end of a rope.

1. Patrick Mahomes
When it comes to clutch QB play, there's Patrick Mahomes, and there's everyone else. He leads all current starting QBs in virtually every clutch category. He's converted on 59% of potential game-tying or go-ahead drives in the fourth quarter or overtime of his regular-season career. That's the best in the league and well above his closest contemporaries, Josh Allen (44%) and Joe Burrow (41%). He's converted 65% (11 for 17) of those chances in the playoffs, also the best in the league.
He further cemented himself as the best quarterback in the game (and most clutch) with a first-down scramble on a bad ankle to set up the game-winning field goal in the AFC Championship Game against the Bengals. He had another long scramble on the game-winning drive in the Super Bowl win against the Eagles. He also had just one incompletion in the second half of that Super Bowl.
He's proven time and time again in his career, no matter the deficit, how much time is left on the clock, or the injury, he can pull off some kind of miracle. The Chiefs' overtime-forcing drive in their instant classic win against the Bills marked the latest start time (13 seconds left) for a game-tying or go-ahead drive in playoff history. The man has a 14-10 career record when trailing by double-digits at any point in a game. Just remarkable. [Reply]
I get if you want an autograph. But to be so obsessed with it that you bother a dude who's in the middle of something is something else. Being pushy about it is another level. And worse you make these guys look like assholes when they probably spent hours signing them already. Have some fucking social awareness. I don't understand the entitlement over a damn piece of paper [Reply]
This is why we need Nick Wright. That was just the laziest discussion. Wright would point out the chasms of differences in actual performance such as record when opponent scores 28 points, winning % when down 10 points, third down and distance stats, efficiency and epa stats, etc. Mahomes blows Burrow out of the water everywhere you look. Not even the same realm. [Reply]

Definitely
And in an unrelated note, make a fucking avatar already [Reply]
