Some of you guys are hilarious...like there's a bunch of QB whisperers hanging around on the Jets message boards....if the league thought he was gonna be this good he would have been the consensus 1st overall pick not mocked in the 20s....the draft is a lottery ticket you got one right congrats. Lol
He was the second quarterback taken and selected tenth in the draft. He's won more Super Bowls and Super Bowl MVP's than the last ten quarterbacks selected #1 overall in the NFL. What math doesn't add up? If the majority of the league foresaw this for him, why didn't anyone trade up to #3 or #4 to take him right after Trubisky? Why did Trubisky go before him? Why did the Bears panic and make a stupid ass trade to move up one spot and take Trubisky and not Mahomes? Maybe because he wasn't as highly regarded by the league as this thread is touting. That's not a knock on his. He turned out to be amazing. But this is revisionist history to act like he was an Andrew Luck-esque prospect.
Dude you wrote a lot there but still can’t explain to me why a QB drafted in the top 10 is not a top 10 QB. Also the draft is an exercise in talent evaluation not fortune telling. Lastly, I’m not concerned about others’ history I know my own.
This thread isn't about your take though. And it's obvious that you just surface to pat yourself on the back when you're correct.
If you'd like to get technical, ten teams passed him up (including the Bills). An eleventh team traded up for him. But keep ignoring the fact that you came into this thread in search of a place to slip in posts you made about Mahomes around draft time. Why did Trubisky go ahead of Mahomes if this success was the consensus?
Can someone post a mock draft or draft analyst that had Mahomes ranked as the top QB in the draft or mocked in the top ten? I'm offering a million dollar reward. Lol
You’re like the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz with all these straw man tactics. Mahomes’ success being the consensus is not my position so why should I answer that question. Address that question to whoever expressed that position. I asked you a question about something you actually said. It took you 3-5 responses to come remotely close to answering. I’ve always thought you are a top 10 pick if you are drafted in the top 10 but you’ve enlightened me.
It doesn't bode well for you to use a tactic you're accusing someone else of using. But let's talk some more about how right you were about Mahomes.
Now you're doing the same. Don't forget that you felt Jerod Evans was the same prospect as Mitchell Trubisky and were a big Kurt Benkert fan. But let's only relive the ones you got right, right?
What did I get wrong there? These are late round picks. I still feel Trubisky was overrated & Benkert was a good value late round pick. Benkert had a chance to be the ATL backup as. UDFA if not for an injury. I really liked Brissett coming out as mid round pick. Would I have been “wrong” about him had he not gotten a chance to play because of injury? Since you are terrible at providing examples of me being “wrong”, I’ll help you. I really liked Mariota in his class. Now enjoy that one. Side note: I still Mariota. I don’t believe his career is over. I feel under the right system & coaching he has a chance to revive his career. Not to mention he really hasn’t been bad just injury proned.
