That's what I thought initially but after some thought and consideration all that talent doesn't mean shit. Most great qbs are middle of the pack physically but leaps and bounds ahead mentally (atleast in thier scheme understanding). The deck is stacked against mahomes in almost every way. I hope a clevland or someone bites and allows one of these other guys fall to us.

Like Alex and all those gigabytes? Favre did not even know what nickel defense was until a couple years in the pros. He was pretty dumb. He was also pretty good...... |

He might be book smart, which leads to an ability to grasp concepts, but he isn't field smart.

Don't be obtuse. My devil's advocate position is to point out that "mental strength" in a qb can be diverse and overrated. You could have a guy who has every player's responsibility memorized, can read defenses pre-snap, memorize verbiage of 700 plays but then..... shits down his leg at the first sign of pressure and throws all that mental edge out the window. Decision making may be related to the mental game, but there is something to be said about trusting your teammates, believing you can make plays and having the nuts to stand in there and deal. |

This is why guys like Tebow and Manziel went in the first. This is why undersized Russell Wilson went in the 3rd instead of the 5th as originally projected. The guy had six fourth quarter comebacks and fame winning drives in one season at Wisconsin. This is the most important quality for NFL IMO. You don't draft a guy in the first or second round who doesn't have that type of ability and leadership. |

Imagine if Bowe taps that second foot.. imagine if Fisher doesn't get a holding flag... imagine several more instances in meaningful games... and the entire outside perception flips on its head. Even a few single plays.. in different games.. in different years.. where a certain player steps up strong instead of folds.. for his QB. I do believe that some mentalities are inherently unwavering in strength, while some are weak and breakable... and you need to have a QB that stays confident that they will win out. I don't believe in this mystical, magical clutch-gene. Not from Joe Montana... not from anyone.

Ahhh dude... I personally witnessed many Chiefs playmakers with many great opportunities these past few years... Unfortunately, these ultimately became gaggles of missed opportunities, simply because we lacked a clutch QB.
