Any BUF fans here right now?  no?  good...

 

I don't get it. Not trying to take a personal jab at you or anything, but this ranks pretty low on the 'spectacular' list for Mahomes. And not really a major affront to Buf. or their fans either. 

That FG tied the game.

He wasnt drafted by us, Reid traded up from bottom of 1st round to get him, he knew what he was looking at, the rest of the NFL didn't, anyone could have gotten him.

Being able to identify the right QB is more than 3/4 of the battle, the other 1/4 is development and putting them in position to succeed to build confidence.

some people know how to make that happen, others don't, its not a luck thing, its a skill thing

Yes I said it was hard not random although the best in the world wouldn’t be 100% with drafting QBs if they had to do it every 3 years. So much is unknowable about a guy’s emotional makeup. You can eliminate many variables with skill and diligence but never all. True for all positions but more for QB. Add that the league is always starved for QBs, you almost by definition have to reach on one unless you’re picking first overall.

when you know what you are doing, you don't have to draft every 3 years, its kind of the point in what I am saying. Emotional makeup is fluid and dynamic. If you want to talk about ability to handle adversity, thats one thing, but emotional makeup is fluid. 

Confidence is one of the most important factors for a professional athlete and even more so for a QB. Helping your young QB gain confidence goes a long, long way. Mahomes came into a great situation from day 1, and had no reason to not be confident, it was the same with Brady. That confidence goes a very long way.

Coming into a crap situation and hurting your confidence right away sucks.

Some can overcome it, some can't, but getting it right away goes a very long way.

We are agreeing in circles
