It's too early to say anything about the careers of Maye and McCarthy, but if Andy Reid had gotten his weay, he would've drafted Paxton Lynch and not Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes is a major outlier. He looked like total bust material for the NFL in college as a prospect: but he got the right coach and support. And he's incredibly driven. It makes a difference.

Oh I don't know. When he followed up that pick with two perfect TD strikes, that showed me that he had the kind of short memory that is rare in young QBs. After that I thought you can probably put this kid in the game earlier than most. I'm betting KOC was thinking the same thing.

There's a little Brett Favre in McCarthy: he knows he has a special arm. He's great like him in that he'll make some extraordinary throws off-script, in the middle of chaos. 

Zero doubt about KOC re-thinking they could move their timetable up on JJM: that was evident on that Zoom call. The reaction said it all, at least to me: I had plans for this kid THIS YEAR.

I mentioned a while back about a video Thor Nystrom posted on the X that shows JJ throwing MANY TDs left-handed. These were downfield throws. I mean he made it look effortless. Talk about another example of his awesome athleticism. Yet you don’t really hear anyone talking about it. I wish I had the link for the video but maybe a simple YouTube search would find it. JJ is going to light it up next year. It kills me that he ended up hurt, such a disappointment but I think he’s going to be badass for us next season. Big Grin
