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]
Sportscenter had an interesting stat. Brady has 6 double digit comeback wins in the Playoffs across 20+ years as a starting QB. Mahomes already has 4 double digit comeback wins in the Playoffs after only 5 seasons.
Mahomes would have 5 of those double digit comeback wins if Dee Ford did not go offsides to bail out Brady & Belichick. [Reply]
I'd love to see a really consolidated look at his numbers against the top defenses. Not necessarily "#1 scoring D" (even though I know those are great), but just in general/overall.
Another thing that's awesome is how we keep running into these buzzsaw, "unbeatable" teams. And beating them. Think about the Bills last year, coming off that blowout vs NE. Cincy last week after just destroying the vaunted Bills. This Eagles team who were, what, 70-14 in 2 playoff games? 14-3, vaunted OL, vaunted defense. And yeah people conceded they'd had a favorable schedule, and yet they still all thought that D would slow our offense down. As if they haven't seen us defy that logic for 5 years straight.
Man. It's hard to even put into words. The only way I can really ground myself is by thinking of just about every other elite QB and their playoff failures. Look at Rodgers and how much of a pumpkin he turns into in the playoffs. Burrow is nothing without his defense. On and on. [Reply]
