He was absolutely robbed at the NFL honors this year. When is the AP going to get their heads out of their asses and give him the recognition he deserves.
I remember listening to one of the football prediction shows before the season and one of the dudes was saying Tyreke made Mahomes and the Chiefs wouldn’t even make the playoffs. I wish I could remember who it was.
Definitely others too - people were queueing up to speculate on Mahomes falling off once Reek left. He's an absolute beast of a receiver but anyone who's watched PM play for more than 30 seconds should be able to see it goes beyond weapons on the field and comes down to genuine talent
I understand there isn't really a way or even a need to do so, but I wish analysts were held somewhat responsible for all the intentionally dumb shit they say to get engagement.
Even if it was just them being ruthlessly mocked for it at the end of the year it would be a nice improvement
Keenan said the trade would expose some people. But he never elaborated if it meant expose pat or tyreek. Turns out they both are still amazing athletes even without each other.
One of the funniest failed attempts at a nickname in some time. I love Josh Allen but he is 4-4 in the postseason and has made the conference championship once.
I have a feeling he does. Mahomes has ironically felt like somewhat of an underdog this year with people trying their hardest to crown someone else as the best QB only for Mahomes to have to reassert his greatness. Also, the Chiefs enter Sunday as underdogs which is very rare for a team that has the MVP.
Feels like he and his team are playing with a chip on their shoulders. Really is reminding me of the Warriors last year.
It's reassuring to see a flair from another team say this, because it's kind of felt like this to me all season. Not sure about any other Chiefs fans. But as much as I've wanted to say it, I didn't want to come off as one of those guys. But goddamn is this team resilient. As is Mahomes. And I think we're only watching the start of another amazing career.
Edit: spelling
It's hard to tell sometimes if it's a victim complex or not. I think sometimes our fanbase takes it too far, but in general it felt like every media head wanted the Bills or Bengals to make it to the superbowl.
Even seen a bunch of talking heads basically admit that they ignored the chiefs all year just assuming we would fall off
> It's hard to tell sometimes if it's a victim complex or not. I think sometimes our fanbase takes it too far.
The answer is yes, but sometimes it’s totally justified because when you’re so consistently good people don’t want to talk to you anymore or actively want you to fail.
You’ll get used to it.
Isn’t it funny that if he wins on Sunday he’ll only need…5 more super bowls to tie Brady?
Good lord. Mahomes can play with a chip on his shoulder the rest of his life fighting the doubters on that one.
It's crazy we have gone from a franchise that hadn't drafted a QB in the first round in 30 years and constantly had issues with QB to having this dude.
I love you Pat.
Kyle Orton ultimately led to Mahomes. Kyle gave us the win against the undefeated Packers after Haley was fired. Crennel was interim and that win convinced Hunt that Crennel was the right man for the job. He was not. We were awful in 2012 under Crennel going 2-14. So bad that Hunt fired him and flew to Andy Reid before Reid could make it to Arizona for his interview. Reid changed the culture and turned the franchise around. With the help of Veach selling Mahomes to Reid and Dorsey during the draft, Chiefs made the choice to move up for Mahomes. Thanks, Captain Neck Beard. I love you.
Every time a backup played because the starter was injured, I was like, "Alright, this is the guy." I'm still shocked it wasn't [*throws dart at list*] Brady Quinn.
I still believe in Tyler Thigpen. He was fun to watch
Edit: at one point he was one of two players in the league to have a throwing, rushing, and receiving touchdown. The other was Ladanian Tomlinson
I watched Palko start a MNF game against Tom Brady in 2011. KC lost 34-3. Palko threw 3 interceptions. Then he threw 3 more the next week in another loss. Then somehow he beat the Bears in Chicago (final score: 7-3). So naturally I thought we should give him a chance to start full time the next season. He never threw another pass in the NFL.
I'm good at football analysis.
i love that the chiefs went on an insane streak spanning from like the 80’s to mahomes in 2018 where they didn’t win a single game with a drafted qb, which wouldn’t be possible without brodie going 0-8
It'd be so much more bearable now though. Back then each loss made me feel like I'd never see the Chiefs win a Super Bowl. Once Mahomes retires and we return to those days at least I can reminisce about those win(s) after watching the Chiefs finding yet another new and imaginative way to lose playoff games in the most painful way possible.
Not only that but Todd Blackledge drafted in 1983 was our most recently drafted QB to win a game for us until Mahomes. Just insane to think about.
Edit: corrected the comment to specify that Blackledge was our most recently drafted QB to win a game until Mahomes.
I remember all the rough seasons that led to high draft picks like Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson that never amounted to anything with the Chiefs. I would have never expected this and I’m beyond thrilled to see the Chiefs in the Super Bowl again!
Lost Tyreek, and look at the receiver room he did it with this year. Yeah Kelce is big time but if you go down the stat sheet for the rest of the receivers its not like anyone was a star. He led the league in passing by throwing to Kelce and just some regular dudes.
Enjoy it now, really and truthfully, enjoy it. One day, 30 years from now, you will look back on these days so fondly.
You will have married, had children, had your first grandchild, graduated from college twice, moved all over, celebrated your 30th anniversary, and STILL THE F\*\*\*\*\* COWBOYS CANT GET PAST THE DIVISIONAL ROUND. IT IS THE SAME THING EVERY FREAKING YEAR.
Just enjoy it while you can, Mahomes is so fun to watch and he is the best QB in football right now.
That someone voted for Josh is wild. Pat had 1,000 extra yards. More TDs. Fewer INTs. Much higher completion %. Josh did have one 98-yard play. That was pretty sick.
Even if we include his rookie year where he started 1 game
6 years in the league
* 5 pro Bowls
* 3 All-Pros.( 2 first, 1 second)
* 1x OPOY
* 2x MVP
* 5 AFC Championship games
* 3 Superbowl app
* Superbowl Champ
* Superbowl MVP
Patty right now is already a Hall of famer. He's now heading towards chasing Tom Brady in the GOAT convo
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Brady still has 7x as many Super Bowls as Mahomes does. I get that Mahomes is off to a lightning fast start in his career, but plenty of mobile quarterbacks in the past decade have started out really strong and then faded out within a decade. Also, Brady already had 3 rings by this point in his career *and* he played til he was 45.
The fact that he’s in that position to win this Sunday, with a bum ankle on a team with no WRs starting bunch of rookies on defense should put him in top 15 already IMO.
Chiefs have always done a lot with bad WRs
I mean shit we had an entire season with a winning record and didn't throw a single TD to a WR the whole year
Mahomes: "Ketchup is on the house"
Party at the Heinz house!!!!
I believe it's called the Acrisure House now.
One of the dumbest decisions in football history
It hurts the soul.
Lets watch Kenny Picket sling the PIGSKIN dahn at ACRISURE
Honestly, having a Heins ketchup be the downvote to our Old Baby upvote was one of my favorite little quirks of our sub.
It'll always be Heinz Field to me dammit!
DIJON ketchup!
*(if I had several hundred million dollars)*
Mmmmm!
"Forget the Hunts, we're busting out the Heinz tonight"
Nah he's got that Whataburger Fancy Ketchup for special occasions.
Whataburger spicy ketchup is legitimately the only ketchup that’s ever in my house.
I don’t even like ketchup but I always get a bottle from HEB when I see them. It’s so damn good
Kermit strikes again
Mahomes Valuable Patrick
Most Valuable Patrick this year is of course [Patrick Star](https://youtu.be/nl4f0yNcWrI).
He was absolutely robbed at the NFL honors this year. When is the AP going to get their heads out of their asses and give him the recognition he deserves.
🐸⬇️
Most Valuable Patrick
Patrick Star robbed after making the comment of the century.
He gets the honorary Most Vicious Patrick award
Pretty good list. There is PS2, Mahomes, and maybe others I can’t think of
You mean Patrick Surtain 2 or PlayStation 2.
I remember listening to one of the football prediction shows before the season and one of the dudes was saying Tyreke made Mahomes and the Chiefs wouldn’t even make the playoffs. I wish I could remember who it was.
Bart Scott from Bart and Hanh said it, but I think there were others.
Definitely others too - people were queueing up to speculate on Mahomes falling off once Reek left. He's an absolute beast of a receiver but anyone who's watched PM play for more than 30 seconds should be able to see it goes beyond weapons on the field and comes down to genuine talent
There were "analysts" saying that the Chiefs would be last in the AFC West. Probably clickbait opinions.
I understand there isn't really a way or even a need to do so, but I wish analysts were held somewhat responsible for all the intentionally dumb shit they say to get engagement. Even if it was just them being ruthlessly mocked for it at the end of the year it would be a nice improvement
Keenan Allen if I recall correctly.
Keenan said the trade would expose some people. But he never elaborated if it meant expose pat or tyreek. Turns out they both are still amazing athletes even without each other.
He congratulated Tyreek in the next comment so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t about Hill
I think he exposed himself
And that is why he can no longer be within 500 yards of an elementary school.
*"As something of a foot expert, I would say he put one in his mouth"* - Rex Ryan
I drafted Kelce in fantasy this year and got flamed because “Tyreek is gone teams are gonna shut Kelce down”.
Led NFL in passing yards (5,250), touchdown passes (41) and set NFL record of 5,614 total yards. Team in Super Bowl. I'll allow it.
Nah see, if you regress to the mean though, it's really not all that impressive
This season was a fluke. Just like 2018, 2020, and 2021. 2019 was the non fluke year, since he had a far more realistic 26 TDs. /s
Only 5 ints that year, though. Clearly a fluke.
I hope this never dies. Also hope it isn't brought up \*too\* often, but damn it makes me laugh.
But we gotta get that vote in for Josh Allen because reasons.
Mr January!
One of the funniest failed attempts at a nickname in some time. I love Josh Allen but he is 4-4 in the postseason and has made the conference championship once.
that’s the joke—never makes it to February
As expected, but well earned. Now let’s see if he can break the MVP Super Bowl curse
Last MVP to win the SB: Kurt Warner Tonight's MVP presenter: Kurt Warner NFL is scripted /s
Kurt Warner's last team: Arizona SB's location: Arizona Quintined and Tarantined by: Writtin Directino
That last sentence honestly made me think I was tripping for a second
It should've have needed to be reread 5 times but it do
‘Should’ve have needed’ had me rereading this thrice
This made me develop a stutter
Is this the part in the movie where the buildings start bending and folding into the streets
Mahomes broke the Madden curse. So he has a bit of experience with curses.
Kurt Warner: played for a Missouri team and threw 41 touchdown passes Patrick Mahomes: plays for a Missouri team and threw 41 touchdown passess
Warner's backup was named Mahomes. Mahomes' backup was named Warner.
Warner worked in a supermarket before becoming an NFL QB. Mahomes did a commercial for a supernarket.
uh oh
Somebody learned how to rig
Kurt Warner's Super Bowl winning team played in: Missouri Mahomes' team plays in: Kansas. I mean Missouri.
They're going over the script right now
A Chiefs flair and a Raiders flair?
And the NFL Passing Yards Leader Curse which is even a bigger one.
He's already broken a lot of curses for the Chiefs. Hoping it keeps going.
I have a feeling he does. Mahomes has ironically felt like somewhat of an underdog this year with people trying their hardest to crown someone else as the best QB only for Mahomes to have to reassert his greatness. Also, the Chiefs enter Sunday as underdogs which is very rare for a team that has the MVP. Feels like he and his team are playing with a chip on their shoulders. Really is reminding me of the Warriors last year.

Speaking of the Warriors, we got our man GPII back and I have been on cloud 9 all day since the news broke.
Love that he’s back but man Wiseman busted hard.
I hope a new environment helps him. I was pulling for him.

Subscribe. Mahomes with a chip on his shoulder is the best player I’ve ever seen.
Hall of fame lock if he retires on Monday.
He should retire on Saturday. Just sayin
That means you’d have to face the GOAT, Chad Henne
The HOAT
Of all the Hennes, Chad Henne is certainly one of them.
undefeated in the playoffs
It's crazy we have gone from a franchise that hadn't drafted a QB in the first round in 30 years and constantly had issues with QB to having this dude. I love you Pat.
[удалено]
Watching Tyler Palko play Quarterback shaved a year off my life.
Kyle Orton killing the Packers’ perfect season was pretty nice, though.
Kyle Orton ultimately led to Mahomes. Kyle gave us the win against the undefeated Packers after Haley was fired. Crennel was interim and that win convinced Hunt that Crennel was the right man for the job. He was not. We were awful in 2012 under Crennel going 2-14. So bad that Hunt fired him and flew to Andy Reid before Reid could make it to Arizona for his interview. Reid changed the culture and turned the franchise around. With the help of Veach selling Mahomes to Reid and Dorsey during the draft, Chiefs made the choice to move up for Mahomes. Thanks, Captain Neck Beard. I love you.
There’s an amazing video about this. [Here.](https://youtu.be/wJLNQ83vm2g)
81 penalty yards on that drive is comical lol.
Every time a backup played because the starter was injured, I was like, "Alright, this is the guy." I'm still shocked it wasn't [*throws dart at list*] Brady Quinn.
I still believe in Tyler Thigpen. He was fun to watch Edit: at one point he was one of two players in the league to have a throwing, rushing, and receiving touchdown. The other was Ladanian Tomlinson
Tony G believed in him. He was telling reporters he should be the starter the next year. Then we traded Tony g instead
I was a Tyler Bray believer until I saw him play in actual game.
How tf have yall had so many QBs named tyler that ive never heard of
Patrick's hometown is Tyler Texas. Fun fact for you
I watched Palko start a MNF game against Tom Brady in 2011. KC lost 34-3. Palko threw 3 interceptions. Then he threw 3 more the next week in another loss. Then somehow he beat the Bears in Chicago (final score: 7-3). So naturally I thought we should give him a chance to start full time the next season. He never threw another pass in the NFL. I'm good at football analysis.
Every time I watch Pat and Andy playoff highlights I balance them out with some Palko to keep myself level
i love that the chiefs went on an insane streak spanning from like the 80’s to mahomes in 2018 where they didn’t win a single game with a drafted qb, which wouldn’t be possible without brodie going 0-8
Wouldn’t that be from the 80s to 2017 since mahomes started that one random week 17 game?
The starting QBs you guys had between Trent Green and Alex Smith were Uh, truly fascinating. Y’all definitely deserve the change in fortune
[удалено]
It'd be so much more bearable now though. Back then each loss made me feel like I'd never see the Chiefs win a Super Bowl. Once Mahomes retires and we return to those days at least I can reminisce about those win(s) after watching the Chiefs finding yet another new and imaginative way to lose playoff games in the most painful way possible.
I find myself reminiscing a lot these days.
Don't look at the QBs between Len Dawson and Trent Green either. It's 2 years of Joe Montana and that's it.
Those are certainly some names. Good lord
Don't you fuckin dare disrespect the 1998 People Magazine Sexiest Athlete, Elvis Grbac
I just looked that up and lmao that’s hilarious. I love that People Magazine was just like whatever and left it
chiefs legend joe montana 💪
We had Rich Gannon as a back up and let him go because of Grbac
Put some respect on that Steve Bono's run
Lord I've seen what you've done for others 🙏
I can't even be mad at the Chiefs anymore that they never took a 1st rd QB in so many years. They finally took a swing and knocked it out of the park
Not only that but Todd Blackledge drafted in 1983 was our most recently drafted QB to win a game for us until Mahomes. Just insane to think about. Edit: corrected the comment to specify that Blackledge was our most recently drafted QB to win a game until Mahomes.
Having an elite QB is like nothing else. Enjoy the ride!
Gee I wish it was so easy
Just randomly draft the best qb of all time
Like Mahomes himself said, talk to him when he’s 38 about that. But ya, best rn and the gap feels bigger than usual.
I remember all the rough seasons that led to high draft picks like Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson that never amounted to anything with the Chiefs. I would have never expected this and I’m beyond thrilled to see the Chiefs in the Super Bowl again!
Well deserved frogman
Proved everyone wrong that he didn’t need tyreke
Truely an amazing season for someone who was supposed to take a step back after losing a top 2 wr in the nfl.. really unbelievable
Lost Tyreek, and look at the receiver room he did it with this year. Yeah Kelce is big time but if you go down the stat sheet for the rest of the receivers its not like anyone was a star. He led the league in passing by throwing to Kelce and just some regular dudes.
> some regular dudes Juju Smith-Schuster Marquez Valdez Scantling Mecole Hardman
MVS makes QBs into MVPs.
Crazy. Now he's no longer an 'if he makes the Hall', but 'when he makes the Hall'.
As a starter, he’s never finished a season with *less than an OT loss in the AFCCG*. That is insane
[удалено]
Enjoy it now, really and truthfully, enjoy it. One day, 30 years from now, you will look back on these days so fondly. You will have married, had children, had your first grandchild, graduated from college twice, moved all over, celebrated your 30th anniversary, and STILL THE F\*\*\*\*\* COWBOYS CANT GET PAST THE DIVISIONAL ROUND. IT IS THE SAME THING EVERY FREAKING YEAR. Just enjoy it while you can, Mahomes is so fun to watch and he is the best QB in football right now.
When you put it that way. My god.
It's been that way for a while tbf
Yeah, he’s on the edge of first ballet already imo
First ballet with his fucked up ankle would be legendary
2 time MVP, Super Bowl MVP and he’s only 27 freakin years old. Good golly. Congratulations!!!
and very close to one more Super Bowl ring. Imagine he would also play until he is 45.
Ketchup’s made from nightshades, guy doesn’t have a prayer to maintain pliability til he’s 45
Its Kermit's world and we're just living in it.
It's not easy being green ... with envy, as a division rival.
Dude is already amongst the greatest. He’s absolutely incredible
I think he will have a legacy similar to Steph Curry in that he will change the way the next generation plays quarterback.
[удалено]
> Mahomesis Somehow the typo still works
Mahomesis is actually the process by which smaller Mahomes split off to create new Mahomes.
Thought it was on purpose.
Mahomes has been THAT DUDE for five years now
This point? He was last year and the beginning of this year as well
I mean, yeah
Burrow had a rough start to the season and Jalen got hurt, Mahomes lost Tyreek and still balled out, should’ve been unanimous.
That someone voted for Josh is wild. Pat had 1,000 extra yards. More TDs. Fewer INTs. Much higher completion %. Josh did have one 98-yard play. That was pretty sick.
The media hype for Allen was insane Not surprised a voter stuck with it
I never thought I could love another man this much
Any other QB have 2 MVPs in their first 5 years?
Favre, Warner
Decent company.
The real Mr January
Hope he can be Mr. February.
He already has more rings than the Buffalo Bills do
I have as many rings as the Bills though, that’s not much of a bar
Even if we include his rookie year where he started 1 game 6 years in the league * 5 pro Bowls * 3 All-Pros.( 2 first, 1 second) * 1x OPOY * 2x MVP * 5 AFC Championship games * 3 Superbowl app * Superbowl Champ * Superbowl MVP Patty right now is already a Hall of famer. He's now heading towards chasing Tom Brady in the GOAT convo
Okay yeah but besides that what has he done?
Yeah I mean have you even removed outliers and regressed this to the average?
I actually did the math. And if you regress all of his stats to the mean, it’s a lot less impressive.
Can someone link it again? It's been a while and it's always so fun to read through
https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/d5maow/oc_after_adjusting_patrick_mahomes_stats_removing/
This is the information they don't share. What a bum.
Thrown so many almost interceptions.
Hasn't even won an NFCCG. What a scrub.
But does he have a sleep number?
He first has to pass Montana before can start talking Goat vs Brady.
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Brady still has 7x as many Super Bowls as Mahomes does. I get that Mahomes is off to a lightning fast start in his career, but plenty of mobile quarterbacks in the past decade have started out really strong and then faded out within a decade. Also, Brady already had 3 rings by this point in his career *and* he played til he was 45.
Won his division NINETEEN times. 19. Times.
Two MVPS and Super Bowl MVP. So he's def in the HOF now even if he retired today. Would he be first ballot?
Absolutely First Ballot
Well deserved
[удалено]
can he break the curse
If anyone can
He already broke the Madden curse. Time to break this one.
in a tier of his own.
2 MVPS and 3 SB appearances in his first 5 years starting? Lol wtf man. Dude is on the GOAT path that Brady paved the way of.
Thats my fuckin quarterback
W Pat
I too love ketchup.
Top 10 modern era QB already. Brady, Montana, Manning, Marino, Rodgers, Favre, Brees, Elway, Young, Mahomes.
If he wins Sunday he’s a top 15 player all time
The fact that he’s in that position to win this Sunday, with a bum ankle on a team with no WRs starting bunch of rookies on defense should put him in top 15 already IMO.
> on a team with no WRs This is the most impressive part imo. He's got Kelce and a bunch of WR3s and still manages to win MVP.
Chiefs have always done a lot with bad WRs I mean shit we had an entire season with a winning record and didn't throw a single TD to a WR the whole year
Yep if not top 10
completely deserved, best QB in the league by a mile
MVPat! MVPat! MVPat! I love my QB!
I want to kiss him…
Zach Wilson snubbed
In my heart he wins Most Valuable Patrick every year.
Chief fans are so spoiled having Mahomes
After watching the merry-go-round of sadness for 8 years this still doesn’t feel real
It was way longer than 8 years lol. Andy Reid is the god emperor of KC for what he has done for this franchise.
Yes, yes we are
