This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Here is his biggest problem by HTownND

Everyone looks at the broken plays and runs and thinks Mahomes.

But when you dig in (as some evaluators have done, and not the talking heads looking for clicks at ESPN.com types), that's great he turned a "busted" play into an 8 yard first down run, but if he had made the reads correctly, the first one was a wide ass open TD and the second would have gotten them 25.

But all people see is the run. That's the difference, Mahomes wouldn't have run on that play, he would have nailed the first read for a TD in his sleep.

He is going to be a bust, and he's going to be a huge bust. We saw how he played without an elite OL (which he had the year he won the Heisman). The Bears OL doesn't suck, but he's not going to have that protection, and he sure as shit isn't going to outrun NFL DEs.


I feel bad for Bears fans. They get the #1 pick again, and given the hype machine, they aren't even allowed to think about drafting anyone else.
