The Chiefs’ Jerick McKinnon is 10 yards down the field. Only two examples are necessary to show how Mahomes has separated himself from every Hall of Famer - and one of them was an incomplete pass.Īgainst Denver last fall, Mahomes is sprinting right. Mahomes is not supposed to see an onrushing defensive lineman two steps away from a sack, jump straight up and, while in the air, throw a touchdown pass before he lands back on terra firma. Mahomes is not supposed to complete a pass with his left hand. The right-handed Mahomes is not supposed to throw it 50 yards while sprinting to his left. That Mahomes has not throw a touchdown pass sitting on his rump is only because the man has not been asked to do so.Ī contortionist, Mahomes is not supposed to throw the ball 50 yards while backpedaling. Mahomes has taken us to the edge of impossible time and time again as he threw the impossible pass. Take us some place we have never been, could never be in, and let us enjoy the performance.
It’s what we ask of dancers, actors, writers, photographers, painters. We pay attention to be entertained, to be lost in someone’s gift. Therein lies the difference and why none of these seven men can match Mahomes’ WOW factor. Hall of Famers, either in Canton now or will be.īut they were not as much fun to watch as Patrick Mahomes. These seven men won games with their arm and their mind working in cosmic unison.Ī marvel, they all were. These seven men were not intimidated by having just 40 seconds left the clock to go 80 yards. These seven men could throw a football into dime-sized openings. Yes, of course, the seven names in that paragraph have made spectacular adjustments to avoid getting sacked by large men bringing anger. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has what these seven guys - Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Johnny Unitas, John Elway, Aaron Rodgers, Brady - don’t have.
