This thread is a gold mine! The good news is no matter where anybody stood on Mahomes at the time, we are all smiling now.

Except you know, he is. And has been for 5 years (longer than the average career)

Yo.

The ascent of my man-crush on Mahomes... Probably more comedy gold in these...

1. Patrick Mahomes II - QB - Texas Tech (6'2" 225)
Solidly built QB with a rocket arm and the ability to make throws on the run and off balance. Gunslinger mentality that can get him into to trouble at times, but if he learns to play less backyard football in a system that sets him up for success and better protection, he should ascend. Despite awkward deliveries at times, still hits a requisite completion percentage and has a healthy TD to INT ratio. Those numbers should improve in a more refined NFL. From all accounts he has the mental fortitude to learn an NFL offense and be successful. Boom or bust type with a big arm similar to Brett Favre and Matthew Stafford if he works at his craft. Excellent pocket awareness that allows him to run to extend plays. Generally sets his feet and delivers strikes to all areas of the field from a clean pocket. Most mechanical issues come to surface under pressure, but seems to make plays few QBs will make. Throws with good trajectory and touch on deep balls and corner routes. Lays balls softly into the hands of backs and tight ends underneath. Will need to learn to make read progressions after coming from Air Raid. Needs to become a better decision maker and lay off putting the ball in to crowded windows in the NFL.

This revisionist history on actual, legit first round QBs to prop up this middling prospect is embarrassing.

LMAO

I started in the same spot as Clay on Mahomes... January I was like nah, this kid is no way going first 3 rounds. Then just started watching everything on the kid and it went from there to having him mocked in the first to KC February forward. There were more than a few that kept the belief I had, and Clay isn't the only one. Can't really fault him for that thought process. Hell, there were plenty of media "experts" that didn't kept that thought process throughout.
