Patrick Mahomes QB

Well I obviously watched him play against ASU.

Great athlete, excellent arm strength. Weakness is he plays such an unconventional style, scrambling around in the backfield, but hey that type of crap works for Russell Wilson.

In the 4th he threw two picks. Both were really odd, I'm not sure what happened. I almost feel like it was a broken play? Either that or his arm just went dead. They were both kind of lobs in the air that weren't on target. Which leads me to think it was suppose to be some type of backshoulder throw that the WR ran the wrong route on or something?

He did a great job spreading the ball around. He didn't show any tendencies, it felt so unpredictable how he would pick us apart. Everything was working. His WRs looked meh to me. Tech's coaching staff didn't look prepared for the game (which was funny because in the Bowl game 4 years ago, I felt it was the complete opposite with coach preparation). I would not be surprised if Tech wins Big 12 due to Mahomes.

He looked like a 1st round QB to me. There really wasn't any stopping him, I felt like both picks were just dumb luck because something clearly looked broken

Two weeks later I saw Davis Webb, who I thought looked like a mid to late round QB against ASU.

Devil fan too. I was amazed how accurate Mahomes was in that game. He's got a little Wilson in the legs and Rivers in the delivery. I think this guy is going to be good though. Other than those two passes for INT, he was throwing perfect balls on almost every crossing route.

If the niners could land Garrett and Mahomes somehow, I'd be elated.

Garrett and Mahomes would be a win IMO, as long as they get some weapons for Mahomes. I live the Wilson/Rivers comparison. His delivery is so similar to Rivers and his movement in the pocket is Wilson-like. I love that he looks to pass first. I also like that he fits Kelly's scheme really well, unlike any NFL QB he's had yet

That would be a great 1st two picks in my eyes and sign a number 1 WR and the offseason would be a success in my eyes..

Add an ILB and NT and it will be great! Alonso and Bennie Logan would be great adds

Should really stay in school and keep working on grasping essential elements to succeed at QB. He's just a bundle of physical talent right now. He get's away with it playing the other bad defensive teams in the Big 12.

Make that 88 attempts, 1 shy of the FBS record, holy s**t.

Is that a record for passing attempts too? Saw he set an NCAA record for passing yards - never seen anywhere near 88 attempts before

most of those throws were probably 20+ yards too
