I don't think Mahomes is just a system QB.
And honestly, he had to be very talented to overcome Kliff's "coaching". His arm is unreal.
There's literally nothing on his tape that stands out substantially over the last number of "insert your TT QB here".
Not really.
His arm strength and mobility are very good. Plus he beat out a starter at OU and another draft pick from this year's class for the job at Tech.
I don't consider beating out Baker Mayfield a huge feat.
His mobility looks good against college defenses worn out from rushing the QB 80 times a game and running around TT's massive line splits.
It's not just the Chiefs who were high on him. AZ was known to be very high on him at 13.
Houston was trying to trade up to get Mahomes or Watson. Clev may have taken him at 12 if no trade was done since they couldn't get UNC QB
Bottom line, a lot of football minds like him. They know a little more than you me or anyone else on this board. I slightly preferred Watson, but I'm glad KC made a move to get a QB. It's no secret I don't want Alex around very much longer
