What sets Patrick Mahomes apart from other quarterbacks, should Broncos draft a QB? | NFL | THE HERD

Mark Schlereth joins Colin Cowherd on The Herd to talk about Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes after he wins his third Super Bowl with the Chiefs, and sets his sight on a fourth next season. Schlereth tells Colin what sets Mahomes apart from other quarterbacks, and makes comparisons to the great John Elway. He also answers whether he agrees with Colin that the San Francisco 49ers loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII was a blameless one, just a case of bad luck, as opposed to player or coach mistakes. They also talk an upcoming documentary covering the New England Patriots and what it may reveal about the end of the Bill Belichick - Tom Brady relationship. They end with whether the Denver Broncos should go for a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft.

I saw that Travis Kelce reached a top speed of 19.86 mph when he ran past Fred Warner to set up the Chiefs game-tying field goal, tuat was his fastest speed in seven years. He almost had 100 yards in the second half alone. He is a cheat code. Enjoy him while you can & never take him for granted.

Y'know what so funny about Colin's question at the start, the moment I knew Mahomes was different was actually against the Niners. That play in 2018 when he scrambled back like 15 yards to avoid pressure and stepped up and launched a bullet to the back of the endzone was when I knew. That play was phenomenal.

[@aarondriskell2950]

I was watching that game. And maybe I’m bias as a chiefs fan, but I said right after that play that Mahomes is gonna go down as the greatest ever. I was half kidding but damn lol.

[@alexanderritter1522]

Nah. Allen is great too. Mahomes only had one touchdown drive all game and it was after greenlaw went out and a backup came in, which made it hard to guard kelce like before. I've got mahomes as number one, but it's not by a mile. Mahomes' defense is phenomenal. So is his oline. Maybe my raiders can steal chris jones or sneed this offseason. Mahomes isn't the reason the 49ers had two fumbles and a missed extra point. I do give him all the credit for overtime. The 49ers should have never let it come down to that because QBs like Mahomes, Brady, and Peyton make you pay

which is funny becuase now we know they may have been too buttoned up. Tomlin has such complete control of his locker room is fking insane.

[@MrLarryLessor]

Yeah I'm not sure why Colin is defending Kyle so much - His whole attitude with this super bowl is a bit of a joke - "I think it's blameless.... luck plays a big part" LOL No - your special teams not handling a important punt return mishap, somehow not being taught or not responding well to that, your team (actually you the coach) getting a way from the run after Mahomes int. etc. very little of that is luck - it's how your team wasn't prepared. Kyle has a lot of blame - and blaming the DC is hilarious - looks like a lack of responsibility. The little boy Kyle who helped his dad in Denver - not sure he has quite grown up completely..... looks like some nepotism in him even getting a HC job.

[@JohnDavis-ig5ll]

I think Mark in his Patrick take is mostly right, but I think what makes Mahomes the best in the current game is his ability to go from playing bad or just ok for 58 minutes and then flip the goat switch and play with clutchness and win you games.

[@shawnmount2685]

Mahomes is Jedi Master.

[@zack1610]

7:15 I'm a numbers guy as it's part of what I do for a living and I agree with Mark on this one. I can't stand the overuse of analytics in sports today. Sometimes you have to line up and punch the other guy in the mouth. Football comes down to blocking and tackling

[@TheElliot412]

Mark nailed it. Always defer and kick off to get the extra down in sudden death. You can point at various things that lost them this game, sure, but taking the ball first in sudden death against Mahomes is wild. Especially knowing Mahomes' only TD in regulation was right after the muffed punt off the foot giving him a short field.

[@tigera6]

KC got 3 drives that got all the way to the 10 yards line but only got 6pts from it because of the fumble and run out of time. 49ers wasnt shutting them down like people thought.

No one seems to grasp the "cheerleader" effect of Mahomes and Kelse on the sidelines. When they come off the field they are constantly running up and down the sidelines talking/yelling at their teammates. All this in a very positive way. The two of them keep their teammates in the game, and playing for a specific result. Yes, play calling is critical, but the team, in this game especially, has to be at the top the entire time. Very hard to do. But those two get their team going, obviously, better than others. Why is Kelse always getting open? He plays harder than the defense.

Also firing Steve wilks is crazy & a scapegoat. Shanahan should be an OC. How many chances is this guy gonna get

[@edwardgranger1722]

I also think Schlereth maybe misses a point when he says that the Niners didn't stick to what they do well but tried to think one step ahead of Andy and Spags. That point is that last year, the Eagles stuck to their first-half plan, and it was the Chiefs that made the adjustments that won them the game in the second half. Maybe Shanahan thought there was a lesson to be learned from that game in terms of playing the chess game that is this era of football. Shanahan maybe didn't stick to his guns because Sirianni did, and it bit him in the a@@. This is just how Andy and Spags get in other people's heads at the moment.

[@Semperityy]

Mark is great 😂😂😂😂

[@edwardgranger1722]

Niners got a ridiculously "lucky" spot on that Chiefs field goal drive to tie the game and send it into overtime. We just don't call it "luck" because they didn't take advantage of it. And that's the thing - luck is what you make of it. Also, the Niners got very "lucky" when Thuney and Omenihu couldn't even take the field - again, we don't call it "luck" because Greenlaw getting injured during the actual game looks more "unlucky."

[@damiencramer]

I like the title, the part that sets him apart from other QBs is his team from upper management to the janitors. As a whole they just play better when it matters the most, imo there is only 2 teams that can compete with the Chief (I am taking about the entire team organization from from GM and down) that is the Bills And Bengals and both those teams need to play nearly perfect in all phases. Saying all of that i would still give the Chiefs the advantage over all 31 teams until the other 31 teams can prove they can have success over the Chiefs.

[@MissedByAMile]

The part that sets him apart from other QBs: An O-line that holds on every play in every Super Bowl, but is never penalized for it.

[@damiencramer]

@@MissedByAMile I not gonna say anything about missed penalties because even with them happening all there teams this year, Bills, Ravens and Niners had opportunities to put the Chiefs away at the end, A missed TD pass to Shakir and a missed FG by the Bills, then a fumble by Zay Flowers that should of been a TD, and with the niners just a bunch of missied opportunities to put the game away before the 4th quarter.

[@kentgrady9226]

I generally enjoy and frequently agree with Collin's input. However, crediting luck for wins and losses is pretty weak. If you pay attention, you notice the same teams and players consistently "get lucky". What many people call luck, is simply the residual product of preparation, effort, and awareness. Every game hinges upon dozens of little things, most of which go unnoticed by the general public. The great ones minimize and compensate for their own errors, and capitalize on those of the opposition.

The niners were gashing the cheifs for 6 yards per carry, had the chiefs players visibly upset they couldnt stop the run. Then Kyle stops running the ball and has Jimmy playing outside of himself. He starts having Jimmy throw the ball, then when they lose everyone blames Jimmy. When in fact Kyle put them in a bad psoition. Up till the second half Mahomes played like trash.

Why does Mark assume the decision to receive was analytics based? Kyle is famously very poor with analytics

[@salvyv]

Because Kyle said in a press conference that they had done analytics that told them to.

Mahomes does not even play against Defenders who can slam QBs to the turf. Remember how the Bucs Defense dominated Mahomes?

[@mathewjones8886]

We remember it clearly because there was absolutely no-one stopping them all game. Go and watch the NFL Mic'd up from that game if you doubt how good Mahomes is. The Tampa players spent half the game describing him as a magician when they were on the sidelines. Mahomes plays against whatever the game allows he just does it a country mile better than any other QB currently playing and possibly ever. Not a single QB in history has started their career with this much team and personal success.

@@mathewjones8886 It is not about how good Mahomes is, we will never really know. He has played in an era where Defenders can't even slam QBs to the ground. As for the game today under these new rules from around 2018, Mahomes is great. I just don't like comparing players in any sports, when rules change so does the game.

[@mathewjones8886]

@@tedfio1tedfio1 I agree, the best of your era is all that should matter. Mahomes may play a different game in terms of physicality but all he can do is dominate during his time. 6 full seasons with 6 straight AFC championship games, 4 SB appearances and 3 rings to go with 2 regular season MVPs, 3 SB MVPs, a couple of 5000 yard passing seasons and a debut year with 50 passing TDs. He's 28 and the only current players with even a single SB win are over 35. It's not just domination, it's domination on a scale we've never seen before. We certainly don't think he's a god but he's a very special football player and playing consistently at a higher level than any other QB in the league. Let's say Mahomes stops today and Love plays for another 15 years, in your wildest dreams how close is he getting?

[@tedfio1tedfio1]

@@mathewjones8886 True! In today's game, I'll name a GREAT talented QB who is going backward in his performances. It is Josh Allen! Allen is as talented as any QB in the league BUT he has been choking in The Red Zone since Buffalo lost to the Bengals in the AFC Championship. His greatest strength today is running the ball, he seems to have lost his Decision Making and Execution from IN THE POCKET. Another very talented QB is Joe Borrow, he does not seem able to stay healthy in a less physical era. So I would place Mahomes ahead of the pack of present QBs without hesitation.

Listen to all these purdy loving man fans. If this had happened the other way around, these so-called analysts would not care. All I keep hearing is how can you give mahomes 4 downs. These dudes truly hate that pat won.
