Chiefs At what point did you realize that Mahomes was other-worldly?

Fat Elvis · 09-21-2018, 11:34 PM

For me, it was last year in a preseason game vs the Bungles. Mahomes gets flushed out of the pocket, rolls to his right, and throws a freakin' *curveball* to his receiver between three defenders.

Prior to that play, it never occurred to me that throwing a curveball with a football (let alone throwing a curveball with a baseball) on the run was even within the realm of possibility.

One of my favorites. I don't know how he does it.

This was the play that changed The Matrix.

After that, anything is possible.

When you got on board, I got worried. Your track record blows. Don't let us down.

Personally, it was the scramble for first down on third-and-long at Denver, but this is good too.

This was it for me, too.

I mean, I had a feeling he’d be special when we drafted him, but was always a bit cautious.

After that play, I abandoned all cautiousness. I knew the guy would be a legit star, and maybe a legend.

I think that play changed it a lot for everyone, including the team. To see them dancing down the sideline... they knew it too.

And IIRC, there was a shot of Smith right after that play too. You could tell by the look on his face that he knew he was done in Kansas City. Priceless!

This was it for me as well. I was at that game and I’ve never seen a preseason crowd go that nuts.

I'm surprised how many people never watched his Tech film after he was drafted.

His college tape is rife with amazing stuff. He was literally a human highlight reel at Tech.

Interestingly, he wasn't nearly as "gunslingerish" as many idiots would have you believe (in the sense that he was reckless with the ball, I mean). Actually, if there was nothing there, he'd get what he could with his feet and/or throw the ball away to live for another down. I think he got that reputation because he had absolutely no defense on his team (I mean, none) and had to score on almost every possession in order to have a prayer of keeping a game close. It just demonstrates how lazy and uninformed most talking nogs really are.

i for one was one of those who stated that a 44/10 touchdown ratio would be absolutely ****ing fabulous... not sure why they say he's a turnover machine..

He isn't. Not at all.

It's so weird, really. Guys like Skip Clueless and Thannon Tharp actually MAKE UP stats to support completely fabricated narratives regarding Mahomes. I've never seen anything like it.

Then again, I've never actually fact-checked most of these imbeciles.

Because who wants to spend their time fact-checking imbeciles?
