What NFL Players Thought of Patrick Mahomes Before He Started at QB For the Kansas City Chiefs

[@bradkempton7905]

I'm unfortunately a Denver Broncos fan, so it kills me to say this.... Patrick Mahomes seems to be not only a once in a generation talent, but also a really good human. He's still just a kid and the amount of money he's making makes most turn into horrible people, but Patrick has seemed to stay grounded and to me, that's more important than his on field performance. I really hope he stays that way and doesn't turn into a douchenozzle!

He is a good person. Gives a lot to his community!!! And is a believer in God. I think he was raised well.

Broncos dominated Chiefs for many years and won 3 Super bowls since 1998, It is kinda the Chiefs turn now. Mahomes reminds me a lot of John Elway, same type of swagger, competiveness, athletic ability, and able to deliver in the clutch.

[@keithkoenig5320]

@Pirate Junkie I live in KC and am a Chiefs fan, but I gotta agree about Mahomes' girlfriend. She thinks she's the sh*t, but outside of sleeping with a NFL QB, she contributes nothing and many in KC feel the same way.

Alex Smith will ALWAYS be a Chiefs Kingdom hero, for both his great QB service, but also his absolutely unselfish and priceless tutelage and guidance/mentorship for Mahomes that first year.

Favre just had an insane arm and made throws that looked like they were about to be picked off and somehow ended up as a TD. Mahomes is just different. He's faster in person than youd think, and the way he throws the ball looks so different from your avg qb. In my opinion hes the most creative qb I've ever seen.

[@misterdeeds2172]

Want to know what I find "funny"? That the term 'bad' is used to describe a season in which a goes 12 and 5 with a QB who gains almost 5K in yardage through the air, throws 37 TD's against 13 Int's, completed 66.3% of passing attempts. won his division, survived two playoffs, putting on one hell of a display in the second game, and made it to the conference championship game. That's a 'bad' year? Having been a Chiefs fan since they came to town in 1963 I can tell you this is nothing like a 'bad' season. For decades I prayed for such a season. Of course, most of the time my prayers went unanswered. The Chiefs season last year may not have been stellar, but it sure as hell wasn't 'bad', either. Only the most jaded fan would use that term so inappropriately. I don't mean to sound contrary, but dude, you have been spoiled and have no idea just how bad bad can be. You're like the guy complaining to someone who went for weeks without anything to eat and you just ate an hour ago.

[@KindMeg]

@@misterdeeds2172 You said it! I can’t claim to be a Chiefs fan from “since they came to town” like you can, but my father can. He grew up in KCMO and went to the 1st Superbowl! When I was born much later my father passed down the Chiefs Kingdom passion. My earliest memories are of him and I watching the Chiefs play and like you said we had a lot of bad times. The year in question here was definitely NOT a “bad” year. It was unfortunate how it ended, but still overall…I gotta say…pretty good year! Chiefs Kingdom Forever!❤️🙏🏼❤️🏟️🏈🏆🏆❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@seniorjava9678]

I loved watching everyone criticize the chiefs for making this pick back then. It was no secret to those who really know football or just talent, that Mahomes was not just a QB with a big arm. I watched a lot of Texas Tech game(gambled too😂) which made me realize he was built different than the other QBs that were so hyped. He just needed the right coach to ease him into the starter role. Mahomes was the best in KC. Bruce Arians literally retired cause he couldn’t get Mahomes. He stated there’s one QB in that draft he wanted and when Mahomes was off the board, the chiefs didn’t draft a whole and that was his last year in Arizona.

Great offense but zero defense? Hell, isn’t that typical Big 12 football? I did think the first clip in this video was funny where he said he didn’t believe in the “passing system of the Big 12” when the air raid came from the big 12 and the NFL has scrambled to get those air raid schemes into their playbooks. Hell, an NFL team hired Kilff Kingsbury and he wasn’t getting anything done as a college coach. The only reason to hire him is because of what he knows about air raid and how to get a QB some big numbers.

Mahomes likely has a Hall of Fame ahead confirmed. His 2nd straight Super Bowl trip , he literally carried KC to what we saw this season. Its amazing to be a Chiefs fan after years of crap and going "will we ever get a franchise QB ?" And finally we have it and its a wild insane ride.

[@Chiefskingdom58]

100% agree, as a Chiefs fan I enjoyed all the 49er left over QBs over the years (except Grbac, never was a fan of his) but always was jealous of teams picking potential franchise QBs in the first round. Since 1970 merger Chiefs have picked three QBs (Mahomes being the 3rd) last one before Mahomes we picked Todd Blackledge with 7th overall pick in ‘83, we could have gotten Jim Kelly or Dan Marino!!! Btw damn ‘83 Draft Elway, Marino, & Kelly... what a year! Thank goodness we finally stepped up and went for another, lucked into hitting a home run this time!

[@Ecwfan]

@@Chiefskingdom58 KC was so winged by Blackledge they never drafted a QB in 1st rd for 33 years. Carl Petersen revealed years ago as GM in 2008 that if Atlanta passed on Matt Ryan he would have picked him next.

[@Chiefskingdom58]

Ecwfan didn’t know that, but I’m sure there were a couple others over time that we nearly missed on. Just glad Veech convinced Dorsey and Reid to make an aggressive move to get a QB rather than waiting to see if one falls to them. In a league where QBs are the most important player on the field, a GM needs to be aggressive sometimes to dig their franchise out of the basement. What is amazing is we had a good team, record, and QB and still made an aggressive trade up to draft him.

[@Ecwfan]

[@kentgrady9226]

Count me amongst those who typically have no confidence in air raid college quarterbacks. While his physical gifts are exceptional, what makes him transcendent is his brain. In his first year as a starter, he was doing the football equivalent of playing music by ear. He really didn't understand NFL coverages, fronts, and schemes, but he intuitively knew how to manipulate them and beat them. Now, with the benefit of experience, coaching, and a little maturity, he does understand those things. That makes him all the more frightening. Next, he doesn't seem to understand the concept of pressure. The big moment doesn't scare him. In any walk of life, that is an exceptionally rare quality. Finally, he doesn't dwell on mistakes on those few occasions he makes them. You don't see him slam his helmet after an interception, or argue with teammates or coaches. He doesn't rattle. Also, exceptionally rare. Honestly, before the 2018 season, I couldn't have picked Patrick Mahomes out of a police lineup. I don't watch Big 12 football, and don't sit glued to the NFL draft. Now, he's playing quarterback better than anyone's ever played the position. It's pretty damn impressive.

People in these comments are acting like he’s gonna be the GOAT one day like we aren’t still watching the real GOAT getting more rings in his 40’s!

I knew right after Mahomes first game against the Broncos throw away game at the end of the season, he was the real deal. The way he could move around and make plays, was impressive, but I had no idea he would be THE MAN.

[@daviddemaria3982]

KC fan who moved to Denver in 2015. I was at that game and have never missed KC in Denver since. Was super excited for him to get his chance and had been lobbying for him to be the starter, based on what I was hearing about him in practice. The funny part about that game is they took him out of the game up 14 points in the 4th Q. The Broncos tied it up late so KC put Mahomes back into the game, and he promptly drove them down for the winning FG 😂😂😂 the legend begins.

[@carriesmith9943]

I love watching him play! I could watch reruns of his great plays like a favorite movie...over and over again!

[@originalZzZ]

I remember when i first watched Mahomes in a bowl game and he chucked a TD and flexed his muscles. Year later watching regular season college game Texas Tech vs Oklahoma, Mayfield and Mahomes both combined had over 1,200 passing yards, one of the most entertaining offensive shootout Ive seen but I remember just seeing Mahomes play and was like wow he has talent, good awareness and very strong arm power. Then the draft comes later I remember seeing him get Drafted live and saying “Thats a good pick, watch he is going to be something for the Chiefs” to my brothers and wow was I right and happy seeing him start and getting all the attention for how good he is.

[@dansexton5962]

Living in KCMO area and being a Chiefs fan for decades has had it's ups and downs with the latter being the majority. And while every new season showed promise like acquiring Joe Montana or being a dominant defense with Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith, it always seemed to be missing that X factor. Mahomes quickly changed that and made me realize that before he came along, I was a borderline, fair weather fan. Now, even if the games outcome is a loss for the Chiefs, I can't wait to see the next game.

[@billybazilly]

The only time I felt like we had a QB that could win a superbowl was with Gannon and we traded him away....Thank God for Pat. Montana was good but a shell of his former self when we had him.. Still got us close

I love baseball and new about Mahomes. So I watched his first start ever. It was the last game of the season they gave Smith a rest wrapped up the playoffs. I was so impressed at what I saw I was like I’m drafting him in my fantasy league next year. I do a auction draft so it was only me and another guy bidding on him. I lost the bidding because it was getting crazy. Let’s say I was really upset I didn’t keep bidding that year. He’s already had a better career then Rodgers in the playoffs. This kids coming for Brady.

[@bobdingle2539]

Props to Henne for the recognition of Joe Flacco's cannon arm. He ain't an elite qb, but goddamn he could rocket the ball.

[@Neckrollios18]

I actually understand what everyone was saying before he was drafted. Chiefs took a chance on a guy with a style that nobody knew would be successful. Good on them for letting him be him, but naturally nobody knew how good he'd be.

[@helluvatime4562]

Lets give credit where credit is due, the real reason is Andy Reid. Just look what he`s done with qb`s over his career. The difference he made with Mike Vick was astounding, and Vick said he didn`t know how to even read a defense before coach Reid. What a legend that man is.

I’m from Kansas and I’ve been a fan of Mahomes since day one! The beginning of this video highlights his strengths so well. However, something everyone needs to understand too is that he has a great team to work with. Many weapons on his offense and a world class coach! I also believe that his baseball background makes his passing ability unique and effective. Mahomes is amazing but there is so much that goes into the many reasons why he is on top of the league that I don’t think a lot of people understood before he was drafted.

[@BatBeardGames]

My take after watching this. They all want to corral Mahomes and make him fit their mold for the quaterback position, they see him making throws outside the pocket and say its flashy but undesirable. He didn't amaze anyone. But Mahomes breaks the qb structure and is able to throw accurately in and outside the pocket because he's agile and has strength in his back and lower back to make the throws. Now there's method to his madness and he's proven his value everyone's trying to copy his success. Draft analysts need to take note, its not about drafting the best of the winningest qb's in college they might not have much headroom to improve or even much drive to improve as they're already the best of their class in their own minds. But perhaps drafting good players with exceptional talent with lots of room and drive to improve is better. AKA the best mentality, he had the mindset from day 1 that he was going to learn everything KC desired of him from the QB coach to every one of his team mates. People were counting him out this year saying that he was rushing his progressions and not having enough trust in his players to make big plays. What did Mahome's do, he got right to fixing that, the trust issues are gone and he's headed to the super bowl again. You can never count this man out.
