MVP: Patrick Mahomes

During the 2017 preseason, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes provided a glimpse of what was to come.

Here’s the play. I remember seeing it at the time, thinking instantly that the rookie from Texas Tech was destined for great things. And it’s precisely why I argued last season, as the Chiefs slumped, that Mahomes should get a chance to work his apparent magic.

The Chiefs resisted. After the season ended with a wild-card playoff loss at home to the Titans, however, the Chiefs made the change, opting to make Mahomes the starter and to trade Alex Smith.

It worked. It worked well. A year later, the Chiefs have the best record in the AFC, and Mahomes is the NFL’s MVP.

Weeks of debate and discussion became a no brainer once the season ended. Fifty touchdown passes. More than 5,000 passing yards. More highlights in one season than most quarterbacks create in an entire career.

Funny body throws. Off balance throws. Sidearm throws. No-look throws. Mahomes is a new breed of quarterback, and a guy who immediately became the best player in the sport. And he’s only 23.

PFT

Guess this means the Saints win the SB, since the MVP is a jinx award in terms of winning the SB.

Re: MVP: Patrick Mahomes

The last NFL MVP to win a Super Bowl was Kurt Warner in 1999.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Steelers in the playoffs at Arrowhead in the ‘93 playoffs behind Joe Montana. That is their ONLY post-season win in their stadium, since it opened in 1972. Good luck with all that Kansas City!

Chiefs will be one and done.

Hopefully it will motivate Brees to stop stinking up the joint. People gripe about Teddy’s performance but Brees hasn’t looked much better the past 4-5 games.

I don't know, they are still really good without Hunt. Mahomes, seems to struggle some without Hunt but he's still getting it done.

Re: MVP: Patrick Mahomes

Does anyone think that the Saints would have had 1/4 of the success they have had without Brees?

Re: MVP: Patrick Mahomes

Every QB of a team in the playoffs could make an argument for the MVP. Mahomes has incredible arm talent. He's truly one of the players in the NFL worth watching. Brees should have won one before now. Tua should have won the Heisman. I don't have a vote in either.

Congrats Mahomes. Homerism aside, hard to argue against his stats alone. Don’t forget Saints fans - Payton was selecting Mahomes just before Reid swooped in and stole him.

Chiefs will make it to the AFCCG.

With that defense? I'll be very surprised if they do.

But yes, congrats to Patrick Mahomes. 5k & 50TD is impressive.

Not me. Instead of no seasons with less than seven wins we would probably have no seasons with seven wins or more.
