good postMahomes was a once in a decade raw talent.
I am not stating this just NOW btw but stated previously how much insanely better he was as a college kid than Baker Mayfield who eventually went 1st overall.
Mahomes has one of the strongest arms int he history of the game but also has a feel with his arm only baseball players have. Weird angles and no look stuff just part of an arsenal he has been building since a small kid.
He was a freak in baseball, basketball and then finally took up football late in high school and well that was super easy too.
At Tech he was seen as a 2 sport baseball first guy but Kliff developed him TOO well. He eventually gave up easy millions in baseball and focused on football.
On a team with no OL/TE to speak of he averaged 50 points a game.
When he came out I said, that's the one guy you give up Dak for.
But since Dak entered the draft there is literally just that one guy.
I wouldn't prefer Watson, the redhead with the Jets, Wentz, Goff...
I might prefer Lamar Jackson but not quite making that call after 1 good season by LJ.
So you don't just go find a QB in the draft.
Well free agency right??
LOL. No.
I can't recall the last true FA QB who made the Super Bowl.
Foles, I guess, and we know he only did part of the job.
Season long starter to make the Super Bowl at FA?
No idea.
But Brady!!!
Tom Brady is the QB version of Jason Witten. He is excellent in mnay ways but also well past his athletic prime. He has tricks and tools he can use but the overall player he is falls daily.
Bridgewater is great!!
Teddy B is a really good young QB option.
Someone will pay him a fortune.
But main issue there is he has started 16 games 1 time in his career.
Dak is supremely available and physically stout.
Teddy B is not.
Matt Stafford tho!!!
Stafford is a Dallas kid and he brings a quality arm and a large athletic build to play.
So why not?? Stafford will be 32 and hasn't won more than 9 games since 2014. He's 10 games under .500 as a starting QB.
He has some tools but he hasn't produced many wins.
I mean maybe he can get a couple years in NE with Belichick and win. Would be nice for him. But no team should bet their future or even right now on him short of a known win farm.
But picks plus cap space is great!!!
Kinda is!
But how quickly would you trade Taco Charlton, LVE and ZEKE for Pat Mahomes?
That's the value of a QB.
It trumps any other position by far.
Teams don't win when they play around at QB.
