Agreed. I'm not crowning Mahomes, but was merely trying to give a different point of view why he is different. He'll have his struggles, throw some INTs and lose some games. These guys are compared to each other, fairly or unfairly, because they were all drafted in the top 12. For me, I always compare KCs picks to guys they passed on because they are in the "get it right" business.

The difference between Watson's year in 2017 and Mahomes in 2018 is that Mahomes has a very high football IQ and isn't just throwing up stupid 50/50 jump balls like Watson does. Mahomes is very different from your typical 23 year old QB. He has really good touch, timing and anticipation. His pocket presence and poise is really good for his age. He simply doesn't panic in the pocket like Alex Smith or a young guy like Mitch does. It's still really early but the small sample size with Mahomes is far better than Watson. I also have 2017 week 17 to go back on when Mahomes played with backups and third stringers and won in Denver on the 5th coldest game in Broncos history. Oh and he won that game after the 3rd string QB blew his 24-10 lead and Mahomes led them right down the field on a game winning drive against Von Miller. So, to me, that's the difference between he and Watson. Mahomes beat out Watson on the whiteboard with Andy Reid. That's the rumor to why they chose him over Watson. I still think Watson will be really good but he's the turnover machine right now not Mahomes. People think Mahomes is some Jay Cutler INT gumball machine. He's protecting the ball really well so far. Still really early though. What I want to see Nagy work on Mitch with two things. His pocket presence and poise. Gota get him to settle down and not feel phantom pressure. The second is after the 15 scripted plays needs to be more consistent. I seen it far too often with Alex Smith. He'd look like an all-pro during those scripted plays. After he looked like Alex Smith. How he accomplishes this is by staying aggressive and not letting up. Keep Trubisky aggressive and in rhythm. Just my two cents.

Lombardi is a blowhard moron. Front office guy in Cleveland and Oakland lol. He's a New England guy that worked under Belichick so he thinks he knows everything. He clowned Pederson, like you imply, and that blew up in his face. He shit on the Mack trade some because "Bill would have traded him because he traded Chandler Jones." That's 100% false. He traded Chandler Jones because he went into a police station high off synthetic marijuana naked. Mack is the perfect player on and off the field. Gives it his all every play. Lombardi is to be taken with a grain of salt.

Haven't been in this thread in awhile due to personal problem (my 6 year old husky died in May and just been working a lot to forget about it and forgot about this thread). Now, first I want to say as a Chiefs fan, THANK YOU FOR TRADING FOR MACK!! Got him out of the AFC West. Now my Chiefs can dominate the division still and not have to worry about him breaking Mahomes in half. Can't believe how fucking dumb Gruden is. I love Nagy because he was in KC and very good. Be patient with him and Mitch. He'll do wonders for him I honestly believe. I'm not a huge Mitch fan dating back to the draft but that doesn't mean shit and shouldn't because I'm no expert. I do think he'll still be pretty good like Alex Smith but he's frustrating to watch right now like Smith was in KC. My problem with him and Nagy is after the first 15 scripted plays where he looks great, he's been hit or miss. But I do know this offense is very large in volume and will take some time to master. KC sat Mahomes behind Smith so he could just study and learn the playbook. I love what Pace and Nagy did in the offseason. The Bears had probably the best offseason a team could ever ask for. Love that Pace had the balls to trade (smartly) the picks for Mack and got a 2nd round back (LOL only Gruden would trade his best player and include a 2nd round pick). Sadly, however, watching the Green Bay game gave me deja vu with the blown lead. Saw it all too well in KC. Gota keep the pedal to the metal and not let up. Nagy and Mitch HAVE to stay aggressive. Can't let up. So good luck guys rooting for y'all! Go Chiefs and da Bears

I woke up from a nap to this news the other day. Had to wipe my eyes because I thought it was a spam account. Truly unbelievable. The White Sox can’t have nice things. How many guys have gotten hurt this year? Seems like every major prospect. Just an absolute Mike Tyson level gut punch. Just as I was starting to get excited for the off-season and the rotation next year. This is why you throw a large volume of pitching prospects in the system. The silver lining is it happened now and not when they were competing. Get well Kopech. See ya in 2020!

This is awful. I’ve never heard of an athlete doing this. Like others said, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Get well Jake

I’m with DA on this one. Matt Harvey isn’t making Rabbits Saturday any better. It’s probably Kopech. Eloy is coming back from injury and on a tear.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 13, 2018 -> 06:41 PM) How does his stuff look? His college numbers were horrific and I couldn’t find any info on velocity. His numbers so far on the season have been ridiculous. It looks good. I’m behind home plate here. He looks pretty good and in control. They took him out after 5. The only time he looked iffy was when he had back to back HBPs. Other than that spotless

I’m watching Parke dominate here. 5 IP 2 H 0 R 6 Ks 0 BB Had back to back HBPs but is doing really well here tonight

At the Charleston game to see Kanny

Just an all around brutal day for this club. Take the off day and regroup. What a dog s*** performance

LOL another strikeout. Moncada wants no part of that cold

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:10 PM) So....what was the point of this pen that Rick assembled? Demoralizing the team as much as possible? It’s absolutely terrible. A f***ing monkey throwing darts could build a better pen

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:06 PM) No point to even keep watching. No matter how good our offense can and will look this year, the bullpen will quickly wipe out any aspirations of being a good team... Already turned that garbage off

Another top 5 pick lol. I’ll take it

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 07:02 PM) This bullpen is going to hurt this year, can't watch garbage like this all the time I’m not getting the baseball package until Kopech and Eloy are up

I can’t believe this is the bullpen they’re rolling with. It’s quite comical

Battle of pens. Sox have the worst. Tigers will win this probably

Walk off time

Soria isn’t a closer

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 06:36 PM) Leury messed up mentally. It happens when it's 20 degrees out. Thanks, MLB for letting us play today. Bulls***. He knows better. He’s paid to not mess that up. No excuse

Worst pen I’ve watched in years. Leaury with just terrible defense

Leary sucks too. Awful defense

Soria blows

Of course Victor is up
