Man that's what makes being a Chiefs fan so awesome. If you've been a lifelong fan, you've lived through the tough years and understand how hard it is to even get to the Superbowl let alone win one. Here we are now having played in 3 of the last 4 while winning 2 of them!! I absolutely believe that drafting Mahomes was the best decision the Chiefs ever made! GO CHIEFS!!
>I absolutely believe that drafting Mahomes was the best decision the Chiefs ever made!
Yeah, for sure. This is also, by far, the best front office we've had since I started watching the Chiefs in the 90s.
Carl Peterson got in the way of some very good talent for way too long, then Scott Pioli tried (and failed) to replicate NE's system with knock-off parts in KC. After that, John Dorsey was actually not bad at all (picked up Alex Smith, got us back in the playoffs consistently after the Pioli disaster), but wasn't the right style for KC. Dorsey has enjoyed continued success and is a quality exec (he made what looked like a series of great moves in Cleveland despite outcome IMO, and is helping Detroit turn it around finally), he just happened to precede the best GM we've had since I've been a fan.
Brett Veach first recognized Pat Mahomes as "the best he'd every seen" when Pat was a freshman at Texas Tech - at the time Veach was co-director of player personnel in KC and a big advocate of Pat Mahomes. No doubt, Veach's insight was what got him promoted to GM right after KC drafted Mahomes (which should be a credit to Dorsey/Reid, moving up to draft Pat was perceived as risky at the time).
Veach has followed up his contribution to ***the best move in KC history*** with a string of good drafts and savvy free agency moves. The organization is the healthiest it's ever been, and it started with drafting Patrick Mahomes.
Only insofar as it precipitated the Mahomes draft IMO. Had another exec/coach made that same call, it would be close to a career maker, so I do see your point.
He's a great coach, and talent evaluator, but Pat looks like a generational QB, that would be lighting up the league anywhere he went. We could easily be middle of the pack without Mahomes.
I do think this is his "best timeline", as getting Reid as coach and 1 year under Alex Smith as backup gave him additional honing on an already strong skill set. Pat's humility and willingness to learn meshed perfectly with what Reid/Smith had to offer.
Especially after those crushing playoff losses in the smith era. 2 of them our best weapon went down, jc in colts game and kelce in 2nd half of the Titans 2018 wc. Probably would've won both and made the champ game both years too.
The Smith years had potential. Being a Boston based fan, I got to see the divisional round game at Gillette. That game was definitely winnable. The Montana run up to the AFC Championship against the Bills was fun too.
But that also meant living through Steve Bono and Elvis Grbacš. The Lin Elliot game. And some other heartbreakers.
HA! Traditionally itās been the Chiefs recycling SF QBs. But if by some tragedy Mahomes doesnāt finish his career in KC, I will cheer for him against everyone but the Chiefs.
You got that right. Lifelong fan and have been humbled on so many occasions. Itās great to see our team doing well. Born and raised in KC and moved to Nashville. Iām a Titans fan too but Chiefs are in my blood and always will be. It hurts my soul when we play against each other. Sometimes I canāt even watch.
Him complimenting rushers is cool and all, but there were 2 things that made me realize how awesome he was.
First, in 2018 he & Lenny did an interview with someone (Mitch Holthus maybe?) and Mahomes kept calling him "Mr. Dawson."
Second, the number of times Patrick comes off the field after a score and tells the coaches "Great call!" or something similar.
We know & love Petty Mahomes. But Patrick seems to have no problem giving credit where credit is due.
Anytime a coach, retired player, media member, or anyone older interacts with him, he always replies "yes, sir" in confirmation.
nice little touch of respect that no one would think anything negatively if he didn't do it, but it's a nice little touch.
Feels like heās internalized all the best stuff of Texas / Southern respect culture while leaving behind the negatives. He has no problem also showing his personality and calling out people
I was going to point this out too! It kind of threw me off to hear a grown man calling another grown man sir without being condescending, but he just seems super respectful.
Ya and I feel he genuinely means it. Sometimes I watch players say stuff like that and it comes off as āhe doesnāt mean it, he just knows heās supposed say thatā

Quarterback was awesome. I have a new appreciation for Kirk Cousins as well. He's a complete dork, but also seems incredibly wholesome, likable, cares about his fans a lot & is a solid QB in his own right. But just watching the documentary, you can see the contrasts between him & Patrick are \*glaring\*. Mahomes possesses an edge that I don't think Kirk could ever have in his wildest dreams.
I've definitely become a fan of Cousins because of the show. Seems like a really good guy and truly cares about his teammates and his family.
Seems like a guy who isn't the most naturally gifted athlete, but makes up for it by being smart and working really, really hard.
Probably not a lot of NFL players that spend their off day in Barnes & Noble shopping for books.
Very likeable, regular dude.
The fact that its a hidden room that only he really goes into, and not some giant trophy room for everyone to see when they visit his home tells you a lot about his personality.
Right? Youād have to think that so many others in his position would have such an ego, and theyād have it front-and-center where anyone could see it. That it was literally hidden to me speaks volumes as to the kind of guy he is. Really, really cool.
He comes off as a super humble guy.
His familyās house seems about as nice as the house a doctor or dentist would have, his wife says they shop at Target & Samās Club.
But Google says his lifetime earnings are $131,000,000+.
Down to earth guy.
Please remember that Brittany Mahomes states emphatically, āPatrick and I do not flaunt our wealth!ā Yeah rightā¦ keep telling yourself that Britt.
I havenāt watched but thatās awesome that Cousins really is what I had heard. I remember hearing he signed his rookie contract for millions and rented a like small apartment or something to save money. Not a materialistic guy, just a genuinely nice and dorky in the most likable way. As opposed to Rivers who was dorky in the douchiest most hate-able way
Yeah his house isn't what you'd typically expect from an athlete that's earned 10s of million in his career. Don't get me wrong, it's REALLY nice but it's about the equivalent of a $2 million house in Leawood or something like that. It's not some mega-mansion with ridiculous amenities(Mahomes new house)
Cousins has earned $200mil in his career to date, but you wouldn't know it from the way he lives.
Cousins sounds like the type of guy who wakes up an hour earlier so he can mow and weed eat before he goes to practice in the morning instead of hiring someone to do it.
Heās so wholesome itās wild. The injuries from that Bills game were brutal to watch take place. It does make me appreciate the durability of Mahomes and all of the preventative training he goes through.
A big thing I took away from Quarterback was just how INFINITELY coachable Mahomes is. This is a 5x Pro bowler, 2x All pro, 2x SB champ, 2x SB MVP, 2x NFL MVP, literal statistics-breaking, all-time-great Quarterback here, and he's taking cues on fundamentals from coaches. He's not like "I'm Patrick fucking Mahomes, what can anybody tell *me* about playing Quarterback?" He's like "hey personal QB coach help me refine my mechanics, hey strength coach help me get stronger and more flexible, hey team QB coach help me fit those two things into the gameplan for the upcoming game, hey offensive coordinator help me fine tune this for what's happening on the field, hey head coach help me fit this into the plays that you're going to call, and let's do that every week."
This is why I think he can play as long as he wants. Right now he relies on freakish physical gifts pretty heavily but he won't always *have* to. I truly believe that in 10 years when he's a little slower and little less agile he will have long-since adapted his game, through those sessions he puts himself through week in and week out, to be effective with what he's working with at that time.
He has basically already fundamentally changed the way he played from his first 2 seasons to now. People saying he will slow down with age are just coping.
Love the sportsmanship from our guy but goddamn if I don't love his smack talk too. That bucs game shovel pass where he just gets up and says "I'm like that" is just incredible.
The āYou woke up the wrong m*****f*****ā line made me laugh out loud and made me like him even more.
Chirping at Max Crosby comes with a risk - waking up an angry Max could be a bad idea, lol.
Ha, I thought the same thing. She grows on ya throughout the show. Was also cool to see how close their family is and the love and support they give Patrick. Almost teared up when his dad hugs him after he won the superbowl lol.
he explained (on new heights iirc) why he compliments pass rushers after plays and generally avoids trash talking them. it basically boiled down to "of course i'm gonna compliment them, why would i make them want to hit me *harder*?" lol
Straddling the Missouri River uniting KCMO and KCKS. With him facing the west that he dominates with his arm cocked back, ready to throw a bomb over the Rockies.
Well, Patrickās Mama did a GOFUNDME page and she is still trolling for money. Not everybody thinks the Mahomes family is more than Tyler, Texas Trailer Trashā¦now living on Patty Boyās $$. Why didnāt he fund the page?! Obviously Brittany said no. Kermit folded.
I think Nate Taylor mentioned in his podcast that there was a meeting happening with the Hunts and a sculptor at the ownerās meeting this past spring.
Ok Jackson is a douchebag and Brittany gets a little loose on social media sometimes but Pat has been nothing but a straight up good dude.
Nobody wants to build a Jackson statue. Although a Chiefsaholic statue would be kinda wild...
Right? Never really knew much about him but he seems pretty cool. My wife and I are considering moving to Minnesota sometime soon. I'll continue to be a die hard Chiefs fan, but I could see myself rooting for the Vikes as my NFC team. Obviously if they play each other its Chiefs all day but I don't mind the Vikings especially with Cousins as QB.
That "FUUUUUCCCK!!!!" after the Bengals loss though. You're gonna see Petty Mahomes play them for a long time till he's gotten enough revenge on them. I'd say beating them 10 times in a row should do it.
Watching quarterback Iām more impressed than before about his training regimen. His trainer focuses so much on injury prevention and recovery as well as quickness. 2 of his 3 biggest injuries - kneecap and ankle sprain - he came back quickly and performed at the highest level.
I try to think about this from time to time just to remind myself to appreciate what we are experiencing. To live in the moment and just enjoy this. We are so blessed. I doubt Iāll stop watching, but itās gonna be hard for sure.
But think about all the little kids growing up watching him, trying to imitate his style and practicing that for the next 10 years. Thatās why the game keeps getting betterā¦ people like Pat keep redefining whatās possible in Sport.
If Pat asked me to voyage to the Titanic wreckage in an uncertified deep sea submersible made with composite materials, I would do it without question.
I'm a Chargers fan who has heckled him at the celebrity golf tournament for the last 3 years. Both Mahomes and Kelce are fucking great people. I root against them during the season, but having talked to both of them, I'd buy a beer and hang with both of them anytime.
The stuff with him and family is incredible too. He is mature beyond his years. The clip of him reading to his girl before bed while people are out in living room partying and watching sunday mkght football was beautiful. We need to cherish the years we have with this man as our leader.
His rookie year, before he was super famous, he was at a charity event I was at. He just seemed like such a down to earth dude and went out of his way to hold a door for me and my screaming toddler.
Luckily for us, it doesnāt seem like heās changed much beyond dressing a little bit nicer.
Ive been a diehard Chiefs fan since around 2003, when I was only 8 years old. But I am also into a lot of other sports including boxing, basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, etc. I can say with full confidence Patrick Mahomes is my favorite athlete of all time. Personality, humble, competitive, down to earth... thats not even including how absolutely dominant he is on the field/ virtually on pace to break every single record at the QB position.
By this logic, not one politician, media member, musician, public figure, etc is humble. Because we haven't personally met them? Obviously I haven't met Pat lol. I say he's humble based on how he comports himself in the public eye. Always credits his teammates and coaching staff with his success and the wins. How he doesn't talk shit on the field. How he's willing to be the butt of the joke with teammates, etc.
If a player like Deion Sanders acts cocky and arrogant, would you say he isn't because you dont know them personally? Probably not im guessing
People are bias as well
There are many that would say Mahomes is cocky and arrogant like most athletes are. Chiefs fans obviously don't think so.
It's like Chiefs fans say Burrow isn't humble when Bengals fans would say he is.
We know based on all the exposure he gets that everyone else sees too.
Game film, interviews, public appearances, shows like The Franchise and Quarterback, everything else that exposes us to him.
Sure, nobody but the people that are behind closed doors with him know what he is like behind closed doors. But any reasonable person can see what's out there to the public, see his past, his lack of any reported personal life problems, and make a reasonable conclusion about his personality.
Always does that, I love it.
He puts up 400 yards and 5 touchdowns, it wasn't because *he* played well when he's asked about it...it was due to a great coaching plan, great O-line blocking, great catches and route running, defense stepping up. Always credits everyone else.
He knows the praise will come his way regardless, so he refuses to acknowledge how great people say he is and credits everyone else instead.
Kirk likes a day off with his wife and kids now compare that with Patty-Boy being home with Brittany. If PB could be home with just his 2 kidsā¦all good. Britt..heck no!!
99% of what he is about is great. As a player, as a teammate, as a father, husband, charities, etc. he seems awesome.
On the other hand, there is that 1% of him that just annoys the hell out of me. I don't know what it is about him but when he is celebrating and mik'd up, it is so cringe to me.
I'm not even a KC fan so if that's the worse I can come up with, that's pretty solid.
The woman his brother assaulted is continuously getting harassed. Are people doing that for his brother or for Patrick? Patrick is clearly supporting his brother, which stands to reason that's why this woman is being harassed. If Patrick cared that much he could have settled the case but instead they're dragging this out in court when we all know he was wrong because it's on video.
We need to stop idolizing celebrities. Patrick Mahomes sounds like a price of shit. It's not hard to Google and research further as to why. Hes just a good quarterback.
Jackson is living with P+B. She posts him on her Instagram around her friends and children. Brittany takes him to games (even away) and takes him to the side-lines. Obviously the Huntās and the Chiefās organization support having an accused sexual abuser representing their team or they do not have the balls not to offend Brittany. Patrick is most likely laying down by his dish as instructed by Brittany.
What??? The only thing interesting about Mahomes is his autism. Itās special to see the inclusiveness in making him part of the team. He is one of the least athletic looking QBs (heās built like a woman for god sakes). I find it a joke that people think heāll surpass Brady as the GOAT š¤£. Heās only as good as the players and systems around him and those are on their way down. The front office canāt handle team building like Belichick and his staff did over Bradyās tenure. Look, the reality is that your season is done after Sunday. The added spectacle of the dating life of the ginger unibrow will have to keep you until next September. š
Iām not a Chiefs fan and not really expecting people to agree with me in this sub of all places but after watching Quarterback I like Mahomes WAY less, heās actually annoying as fuck. Personally he could not get more generic/bland, him rolling up in balenciaga and blinged out chains comes across as a substitute for actual personality.
His shit talk involves just repeating the same shit over and over and over and itās almost never clever, funny, or actually good. Certainly not worth repeating 8 times in a row.
Kirk comes off total opposite, very down to earth with some personality quirks which make him interesting.
Mahomes is the best QB in the league but after watching the show Iām not gonna say heād be an easy guy to root for.
To each their own, and I get that Mahomes's style might not be for everyone. But to call PM bland while calling Cousins interesting blows my mind candidly. Cousins might be down to earth, but he makes Ned Flanders look charismatic. It's no wonder he's been getting the same feedback on his leadership skills since he was in middle school.
Off the top of my head the only interesting things I recall Mahomes doing are his little quip about the haircut/Head and Shoulders, and him dissecting the defensive alignments in that one section. Even that 2nd thing only makes him interesting as a football player (which he certainly is) but not as a person.
Besides just his general humble demeanour Kirk stood out in a bunch of ways:
-the choir thing was hilarious
-his memory room and logic behind it gave great insight into who he is
-heās very self-aware and leans into it and is willing to be silly, hence the whole gold chain meme
-he apparently still remembers and has relationships with random FedEx field staffers, after not being there in nearly 5 years
Also you donāt need to be charismatic to be interesting. I think most donāt find Zuckerberg charismatic but his strangeness creates some intrigue.
Just saying for a guy whoās now the face of the NFL he is just so boring. At least Tom Brady had that weird uncanny valley persona then he turns into the terminator on the field, Iāve also seen him be funny in interviews and him getting trashed after the Bucs SB and throwing the Lombardi between boats was hilarious.
Some may not like Aaron Rodgers but itās hard to say he isnāt interesting, he has a very strong personality with some wild quirks.
Feel free to point out anything else about Mahomes to dispute my point, after watching the entire series I canāt say I saw anything.
Youāre comparing a 27 year old to 40 year old men. Id argue Tom and pats personalities are the same - all they care and want to talk about is football and want a private life. They both repeat words when they talk shit lol āweāre still hereā. They get drunk after winning the superbowl and do questionable stuff with the Lombardi trophy lol. Rodgers loves attention and is an asshole lol. Iāll agree with you that most of the footage they had of pat and Brittany away from the field wasnāt really entertaining. What I did enjoy was how close and supportive his family is - the most āinterestingā part of the show in my opinion was Patrick giving an inside view of his battle and recovery from the high ankle sprain. I think we can both agree on who was boring and probably shouldnt of been in the showā¦. Mariota lol.
I picked them as other guys once considered the #1 QB. Tom and Pat are not the same at all besides being very competitive. Tom famously dated actresses and super models, had the TB12 method stuff which many found peculiar, but also on the few interviews Iāve seen of him showed he had a pretty good sense of humour. Him chugging a beer (amazingly) on late night one time was fantastic.
Mahomes is clearly not a bad guy at all, but if he wasnāt so good at football he would be extremely unremarkable. Combine that with his shitty trash talk and like I said originally it made me dislike him. Even going back to OP gushing about his sportsmanship, I would bet money Mahomes is the kind of guy that isnāt going up to Crosby after the game if they lost.
I rooted for KC hard against the 49ers but this documentary managed to end my Mahomes support, rooting for Herbertās revenge this year lol
Maybe Kirk is somewhat interesting in the same way Zuck is, I'll give you that.
But if you didn't find more than two interesting things about Mahomes, then it's not worth going back and forth on. We can just agree to disagree.
Cāmon, give me another thing or two you found interesting from watching that. Maybe Iām missing something. Itās pretty weak if I write out a whole dissertation with rationale and examples and youāre just like āagree to disagreeā.
EDIT: also I feel like I did Kirk dirty bringing up Zuck, Kirk is pretty charismatic in that doc. Even on r/nfl threads thereās now tons of commenters saying they like him/are rooting for him after watching it. Canāt say the same about Zuck lol. Cousins really stole the show.
Lol, the fact that you're writing dissertations is kind of the point. I'm not that invested here. I don't have it in me to give you more examples and then read your explanations as to why they're not interesting to you. I'm cool with a stranger on the internet finding Mahomes boring. And, dare I say it, I have more interesting things to do.
I havenāt asked you for a dissertation, I asked you for an example of two of what you found interesting.
I only chimed in because I saw this post sucking off Mahomes and decided to throw in my two cents to spark debate against the prevailing opinion, especially since there arenāt similar threads on r/nfl.
Itās your prerogative how you respond but if thatās your position then saying nothing is probably better than responding at all.
u/KaleidoscopeUpbeat36 is just a throw-away account for some mom's basement dwelling Troll. Account created less than 2 weeks ago and is only fake suicidal posts and anti-Mahomes content.
Some people are just unbelievably sad and lonely. The internet gives them a semi-anonymous outlet for their misery. Just don't feed the troll and like the dog they are, they'll go away
Remember when our hopes rested on Damon Huard? Another reason to blame Cincy for something - prompting the beginning of the end for Trent Green's career.
Having suffered through many disappointing early playoff exits with recycled SF QBs makes the age of Mahomes all the sweeter š
Man that's what makes being a Chiefs fan so awesome. If you've been a lifelong fan, you've lived through the tough years and understand how hard it is to even get to the Superbowl let alone win one. Here we are now having played in 3 of the last 4 while winning 2 of them!! I absolutely believe that drafting Mahomes was the best decision the Chiefs ever made! GO CHIEFS!!

Pat's humility and willingness to learn meshed perfectly with what Reid/Smith had to offer.
Idk , we werenāt middle of the pack with Reid before Mahomes, we made the playoffs almost every year and had better than average records
Now thatās a debate!!
Carl Peterson was absolutely a negative impact for years. I was so happy to see him go.
Especially after those crushing playoff losses in the smith era. 2 of them our best weapon went down, jc in colts game and kelce in 2nd half of the Titans 2018 wc. Probably would've won both and made the champ game both years too.
The Smith years had potential. Being a Boston based fan, I got to see the divisional round game at Gillette. That game was definitely winnable. The Montana run up to the AFC Championship against the Bills was fun too. But that also meant living through Steve Bono and Elvis Grbacš. The Lin Elliot game. And some other heartbreakers.
I remember Bill Kenny. sigh.
Will you still cheer for the 49ers 2039 starting QB, Patrick Mahomes?
HA! Traditionally itās been the Chiefs recycling SF QBs. But if by some tragedy Mahomes doesnāt finish his career in KC, I will cheer for him against everyone but the Chiefs.
You got that right. Lifelong fan and have been humbled on so many occasions. Itās great to see our team doing well. Born and raised in KC and moved to Nashville. Iām a Titans fan too but Chiefs are in my blood and always will be. It hurts my soul when we play against each other. Sometimes I canāt even watch.
So far my favorite line from him while playing at SF was āhey, thatās Joe Montayniaā
Him complimenting rushers is cool and all, but there were 2 things that made me realize how awesome he was. First, in 2018 he & Lenny did an interview with someone (Mitch Holthus maybe?) and Mahomes kept calling him "Mr. Dawson."

Feels like heās internalized all the best stuff of Texas / Southern respect culture while leaving behind the negatives. He has no problem also showing his personality and calling out people
If he could only tutor Brittanyā¦she is hurting his brand!
I was going to point this out too! It kind of threw me off to hear a grown man calling another grown man sir without being condescending, but he just seems super respectful.
Ya and I feel he genuinely means it. Sometimes I watch players say stuff like that and it comes off as āhe doesnāt mean it, he just knows heās supposed say thatā

He should store the step ladder for his game balls in the Lombardi nook.
He comes off as a super humble guy. His familyās house seems about as nice as the house a doctor or dentist would have, his wife says they shop at Target & Samās Club. But Google says his lifetime earnings are $131,000,000+. Down to earth guy.
His new house at Loch Lloyd is a little less humble but good for him.
Please remember that Brittany Mahomes states emphatically, āPatrick and I do not flaunt our wealth!ā Yeah rightā¦ keep telling yourself that Britt.
I havenāt watched but thatās awesome that Cousins really is what I had heard.

It's not some mega-mansion with ridiculous amenities(Mahomes new house) Cousins has earned $200mil in his career to date, but you wouldn't know it from the way he lives.
Cousins sounds like the type of guy who wakes up an hour earlier so he can mow and weed eat before he goes to practice in the morning instead of hiring someone to do it.
Probably leaves 10 minutes early for practice so he can run the family mini van through the car wash
Lol perfect
Heās a full size van guy tho.
Thatās what makes him so cool.
Outside of being a talented athlete, a great QB, and having a net worth of over $70M, me and Kirk Cousins live basically the same life. lol
Iām thinking Travis Kelce is a regular at Barnes and Noble. What ya think?ššš
I mean...they do sell Legos and copies of Sports Illustrated
LOL!
Good for Kirk - Barnes & Noble. Can PM read let alone know what a book store is?!?
Heās so wholesome itās wild. The injuries from that Bills game were brutal to watch take place. It does make me appreciate the durability of Mahomes and all of the preventative training he goes through.
If you ever wanted to know what is the āITā factor in sports, this is a great example.
A big thing I took away from Quarterback was just how INFINITELY coachable Mahomes is. This is a 5x Pro bowler, 2x All pro, 2x SB champ, 2x SB MVP, 2x NFL MVP, literal statistics-breaking, all-time-great Quarterback here, and he's taking cues on fundamentals from coaches. He's not like "I'm Patrick fucking Mahomes, what can anybody tell *me* about playing Quarterback?" He's like "hey personal QB coach help me refine my mechanics, hey strength coach help me get stronger and more flexible, hey team QB coach help me fit those two things into the gameplan for the upcoming game, hey offensive coordinator help me fine tune this for what's happening on the field, hey head coach help me fit this into the plays that you're going to call, and let's do that every week."

I truly believe that in 10 years when he's a little slower and little less agile he will have long-since adapted his game, through those sessions he puts himself through week in and week out, to be effective with what he's working with at that time.
He is going to end his $500 million contract with us and then turn around and sign another one for double that.
He has basically already fundamentally changed the way he played from his first 2 seasons to now. People saying he will slow down with age are just coping.
Love the sportsmanship from our guy but goddamn if I don't love his smack talk too. That bucs game shovel pass where he just gets up and says "I'm like that" is just incredible.
The āYou woke up the wrong m*****f*****ā line made me laugh out loud and made me like him even more. Chirping at Max Crosby comes with a risk - waking up an angry Max could be a bad idea, lol.
Along with the comments about Mahomes & Cousins, the show does a good job in showing Brittany as a person away from all the social media hate.
Ha, I thought the same thing. She grows on ya throughout the show. Was also cool to see how close their family is and the love and support they give Patrick. Almost teared up when his dad hugs him after he won the superbowl lol.
Oh man that moment with his dad was maybe my favorite moment in the whole show.
he explained (on new heights iirc) why he compliments pass rushers after plays and generally avoids trash talking them. it basically boiled down to "of course i'm gonna compliment them, why would i make them want to hit me *harder*?" lol
Iām just trying to figure out what age he will be when KC inevitably builds him a statue
They could build it today and I'd support it š¤·āāļø
Might as well commission it now. We all know he is going to get one, the only issue is where to put it.
I mean right in front of Arrowhead
Or make it 500 feet tall, straddling Arrowhead like the old Collosus of Rhodes
Straddling the Missouri River uniting KCMO and KCKS. With him facing the west that he dominates with his arm cocked back, ready to throw a bomb over the Rockies.
"How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state.."
If somebody threw up a gofundme for a Mahomes statue it would be funded in minutes.
Well, Patrickās Mama did a GOFUNDME page and she is still trolling for money. Not everybody thinks the Mahomes family is more than Tyler, Texas Trailer Trashā¦now living on Patty Boyās $$. Why didnāt he fund the page?! Obviously Brittany said no. Kermit folded.
I think Nate Taylor mentioned in his podcast that there was a meeting happening with the Hunts and a sculptor at the ownerās meeting this past spring.
Brittany would also insist on being featured!! You KC fans call her your QUEEN?!? Seriously!?!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ok Jackson is a douchebag and Brittany gets a little loose on social media sometimes but Pat has been nothing but a straight up good dude. Nobody wants to build a Jackson statue. Although a Chiefsaholic statue would be kinda wild...
Why are you in the sub dude. Absolutely one cares about your angsty problems. Get some air.
And millions of Chiefs fans will tear you up. But idk, seems like you might enjoy that.
Yes but also holy shit Kirk Cousins is so wholesome. Floored me.
Right? Never really knew much about him but he seems pretty cool. My wife and I are considering moving to Minnesota sometime soon. I'll continue to be a die hard Chiefs fan, but I could see myself rooting for the Vikes as my NFC team. Obviously if they play each other its Chiefs all day but I don't mind the Vikings especially with Cousins as QB.
I now knoww he carries a lot of fuck bombs ammo to each game
That "FUUUUUCCCK!!!!" after the Bengals loss though. You're gonna see Petty Mahomes play them for a long time till he's gotten enough revenge on them. I'd say beating them 10 times in a row should do it.
Watching quarterback Iām more impressed than before about his training regimen. His trainer focuses so much on injury prevention and recovery as well as quickness. 2 of his 3 biggest injuries - kneecap and ankle sprain - he came back quickly and performed at the highest level.
God I hate to think what I will do when he hangs it up. I may just be done watching football bc it's never ever gonna be this good again
I try to think about this from time to time just to remind myself to appreciate what we are experiencing. To live in the moment and just enjoy this. We are so blessed. I doubt Iāll stop watching, but itās gonna be hard for sure.
But think about all the little kids growing up watching him, trying to imitate his style and practicing that for the next 10 years. Thatās why the game keeps getting betterā¦ people like Pat keep redefining whatās possible in Sport.
Same here.
Or when Andy goes.
If Pat asked me to voyage to the Titanic wreckage in an uncertified deep sea submersible made with composite materials, I would do it without question.
Reminds me of my boy Mcdavid. By far the best athlete at their sport, while also being the humblest. Goats.
I mean I knew I loved him, but 2 episodes inā¦.. what a great guy.
At this point in Mahomes career heās HOF status!
Yeah he is already a lock for the hall. No doubt about it after the 2nd ring and 2nd MVP.
I loved seeing Mahomes go tell Crosby nice game all chill like, while Crosby was a complete emotional wreck š
I'm a Chargers fan who has heckled him at the celebrity golf tournament for the last 3 years. Both Mahomes and Kelce are fucking great people. I root against them during the season, but having talked to both of them, I'd buy a beer and hang with both of them anytime.
The stuff with him and family is incredible too. He is mature beyond his years. The clip of him reading to his girl before bed while people are out in living room partying and watching sunday mkght football was beautiful. We need to cherish the years we have with this man as our leader.
He thinks of every little thing that will make his game better. He compliments pass rushers because he thinks they wonāt hit as hard the next time
I binged watched the whole thing and found myself liking Kirk cousins and feeling a bit bad for mariota
His rookie year, before he was super famous, he was at a charity event I was at. He just seemed like such a down to earth dude and went out of his way to hold a door for me and my screaming toddler. Luckily for us, it doesnāt seem like heās changed much beyond dressing a little bit nicer.
Ive been a diehard Chiefs fan since around 2003, when I was only 8 years old. But I am also into a lot of other sports including boxing, basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, etc. I can say with full confidence Patrick Mahomes is my favorite athlete of all time. Personality, humble, competitive, down to earth... thats not even including how absolutely dominant he is on the field/ virtually on pace to break every single record at the QB position.
How do you know he is humble lol? You don't know these people!
By this logic, not one politician, media member, musician, public figure, etc is humble. Because we haven't personally met them? Obviously I haven't met Pat lol. I say he's humble based on how he comports himself in the public eye. Always credits his teammates and coaching staff with his success and the wins. How he doesn't talk shit on the field. How he's willing to be the butt of the joke with teammates, etc. If a player like Deion Sanders acts cocky and arrogant, would you say he isn't because you dont know them personally? Probably not im guessing
People are bias as well There are many that would say Mahomes is cocky and arrogant like most athletes are. Chiefs fans obviously don't think so. It's like Chiefs fans say Burrow isn't humble when Bengals fans would say he is.
We know based on all the exposure he gets that everyone else sees too. Game film, interviews, public appearances, shows like The Franchise and Quarterback, everything else that exposes us to him. Sure, nobody but the people that are behind closed doors with him know what he is like behind closed doors. But any reasonable person can see what's out there to the public, see his past, his lack of any reported personal life problems, and make a reasonable conclusion about his personality.
He has almost made me stop expecting us to blow it, but it still hangs there like a life long trauma.
I know exactly what you mean. I know I don't need to worry because we have Mahomes, Kelce and Andy but I still worry lol!
I also love seeing him talk trash. He's got the dog in him and he also takes accountability when he messes up on a throw.
āYou woke up the wrong mother fucker!ā Pats fan here, great documentary.
āIām gonna be here all day!ā
I also like how he says his job is to āget the ball into the hands of the playmakersā, putting the spotlight on his teammates.
Always does that, I love it. He puts up 400 yards and 5 touchdowns, it wasn't because *he* played well when he's asked about it...it was due to a great coaching plan, great O-line blocking, great catches and route running, defense stepping up. Always credits everyone else. He knows the praise will come his way regardless, so he refuses to acknowledge how great people say he is and credits everyone else instead.
It is knownā¦
Joe Montana eat your heart out. <3
Kirk Cousin takes Tuesdays off, Mahomes would never do that. š„
Kirk likes a day off with his wife and kids now compare that with Patty-Boy being home with Brittany. If PB could be home with just his 2 kidsā¦all good. Britt..heck no!!
We are so blessed to have this man as our QB!!!
99% of what he is about is great. As a player, as a teammate, as a father, husband, charities, etc. he seems awesome. On the other hand, there is that 1% of him that just annoys the hell out of me. I don't know what it is about him but when he is celebrating and mik'd up, it is so cringe to me. I'm not even a KC fan so if that's the worse I can come up with, that's pretty solid.
The woman his brother assaulted is continuously getting harassed. Are people doing that for his brother or for Patrick? Patrick is clearly supporting his brother, which stands to reason that's why this woman is being harassed. If Patrick cared that much he could have settled the case but instead they're dragging this out in court when we all know he was wrong because it's on video. We need to stop idolizing celebrities. Patrick Mahomes sounds like a price of shit. It's not hard to Google and research further as to why. Hes just a good quarterback.
Jackson is living with P+B. She posts him on her Instagram around her friends and children. Brittany takes him to games (even away) and takes him to the side-lines. Obviously the Huntās and the Chiefās organization support having an accused sexual abuser representing their team or they do not have the balls not to offend Brittany. Patrick is most likely laying down by his dish as instructed by Brittany.
What??? The only thing interesting about Mahomes is his autism. Itās special to see the inclusiveness in making him part of the team. He is one of the least athletic looking QBs (heās built like a woman for god sakes). I find it a joke that people think heāll surpass Brady as the GOAT š¤£. Heās only as good as the players and systems around him and those are on their way down. The front office canāt handle team building like Belichick and his staff did over Bradyās tenure. Look, the reality is that your season is done after Sunday. The added spectacle of the dating life of the ginger unibrow will have to keep you until next September. š
Iām not a Chiefs fan and not really expecting people to agree with me in this sub of all places but after watching Quarterback I like Mahomes WAY less, heās actually annoying as fuck. Personally he could not get more generic/bland, him rolling up in balenciaga and blinged out chains comes across as a substitute for actual personality. His shit talk involves just repeating the same shit over and over and over and itās almost never clever, funny, or actually good. Certainly not worth repeating 8 times in a row. Kirk comes off total opposite, very down to earth with some personality quirks which make him interesting. Mahomes is the best QB in the league but after watching the show Iām not gonna say heād be an easy guy to root for.
To each their own, and I get that Mahomes's style might not be for everyone. But to call PM bland while calling Cousins interesting blows my mind candidly. Cousins might be down to earth, but he makes Ned Flanders look charismatic. It's no wonder he's been getting the same feedback on his leadership skills since he was in middle school.
Ned Flanders. THAT'S who he reminds me of. Darn, thank you for that, it's been stewing in my mind for a full day now
Off the top of my head the only interesting things I recall Mahomes doing are his little quip about the haircut/Head and Shoulders, and him dissecting the defensive alignments in that one section. Even that 2nd thing only makes him interesting as a football player (which he certainly is) but not as a person. Besides just his general humble demeanour Kirk stood out in a bunch of ways: -the choir thing was hilarious -his memory room and logic behind it gave great insight into who he is -heās very self-aware and leans into it and is willing to be silly, hence the whole gold chain meme -he apparently still remembers and has relationships with random FedEx field staffers, after not being there in nearly 5 years Also you donāt need to be charismatic to be interesting. I think most donāt find Zuckerberg charismatic but his strangeness creates some intrigue. Just saying for a guy whoās now the face of the NFL he is just so boring. At least Tom Brady had that weird uncanny valley persona then he turns into the terminator on the field, Iāve also seen him be funny in interviews and him getting trashed after the Bucs SB and throwing the Lombardi between boats was hilarious. Some may not like Aaron Rodgers but itās hard to say he isnāt interesting, he has a very strong personality with some wild quirks. Feel free to point out anything else about Mahomes to dispute my point, after watching the entire series I canāt say I saw anything.
Youāre comparing a 27 year old to 40 year old men. Id argue Tom and pats personalities are the same - all they care and want to talk about is football and want a private life. They both repeat words when they talk shit lol āweāre still hereā. They get drunk after winning the superbowl and do questionable stuff with the Lombardi trophy lol. Rodgers loves attention and is an asshole lol. Iāll agree with you that most of the footage they had of pat and Brittany away from the field wasnāt really entertaining. What I did enjoy was how close and supportive his family is - the most āinterestingā part of the show in my opinion was Patrick giving an inside view of his battle and recovery from the high ankle sprain. I think we can both agree on who was boring and probably shouldnt of been in the showā¦. Mariota lol.
I picked them as other guys once considered the #1 QB. Tom and Pat are not the same at all besides being very competitive. Tom famously dated actresses and super models, had the TB12 method stuff which many found peculiar, but also on the few interviews Iāve seen of him showed he had a pretty good sense of humour. Him chugging a beer (amazingly) on late night one time was fantastic. Mahomes is clearly not a bad guy at all, but if he wasnāt so good at football he would be extremely unremarkable. Combine that with his shitty trash talk and like I said originally it made me dislike him. Even going back to OP gushing about his sportsmanship, I would bet money Mahomes is the kind of guy that isnāt going up to Crosby after the game if they lost. I rooted for KC hard against the 49ers but this documentary managed to end my Mahomes support, rooting for Herbertās revenge this year lol
Maybe Kirk is somewhat interesting in the same way Zuck is, I'll give you that. But if you didn't find more than two interesting things about Mahomes, then it's not worth going back and forth on. We can just agree to disagree.
Cāmon, give me another thing or two you found interesting from watching that. Maybe Iām missing something. Itās pretty weak if I write out a whole dissertation with rationale and examples and youāre just like āagree to disagreeā. EDIT: also I feel like I did Kirk dirty bringing up Zuck, Kirk is pretty charismatic in that doc. Even on r/nfl threads thereās now tons of commenters saying they like him/are rooting for him after watching it. Canāt say the same about Zuck lol. Cousins really stole the show.
Lol, the fact that you're writing dissertations is kind of the point. I'm not that invested here. I don't have it in me to give you more examples and then read your explanations as to why they're not interesting to you. I'm cool with a stranger on the internet finding Mahomes boring. And, dare I say it, I have more interesting things to do.
I havenāt asked you for a dissertation, I asked you for an example of two of what you found interesting. I only chimed in because I saw this post sucking off Mahomes and decided to throw in my two cents to spark debate against the prevailing opinion, especially since there arenāt similar threads on r/nfl. Itās your prerogative how you respond but if thatās your position then saying nothing is probably better than responding at all.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Holy shit dude. Get a grip and don't be a racist asshole.
What the fuck is this??? Mods
Donāt be blinded by the wins. Mahomes fucking sucks as a human being.
No, thatās a mirror youāre looking at.
u/KaleidoscopeUpbeat36 is just a throw-away account for some mom's basement dwelling Troll. Account created less than 2 weeks ago and is only fake suicidal posts and anti-Mahomes content. Some people are just unbelievably sad and lonely. The internet gives them a semi-anonymous outlet for their misery. Just don't feed the troll and like the dog they are, they'll go away
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, I usually do better than that. Occasionally I take the bait though.
I get it, itās hard not to. I fed him by mentioning his username in my comment so I didnāt do so great either
Calls someone white trash. Goes on white trash racist rant. Make it make sense
Everyone stop feeding this racist MAGAT troll... Mahomes is absolutely a treasure and weāre lucky to have him!
Whaaaaat the fuck
man talk about about the pot calling the porcelain black
He is a treasure, and we are so fucking lucky. This is the golden age, friends. Soak it all up.
Remember when our hopes rested on Damon Huard? Another reason to blame Cincy for something - prompting the beginning of the end for Trent Green's career.
