Keep in mind that it's quite hard for me to find the words, as 'speechless' is the only one coming to either mind, mouth, or fingertip at the moment. NFL quarterbacks have a tendency to defy their learnings on a weekly basis, but even playing 'Madden' at anything above a rookie level is supposed to teach you not to throw back across your body, never mind doing so when you're not even looking. Therefore, what Patrick Mahomes did in trusting only his third eye by throwing a pinpoint pass to a moving target while locked in a close game against one of the NFL's best defenses was wipe his ass with the unwritten rules of football. That sounds more critical than it was meant to, as he's not cheating by being more physically gifted than anyone else at his position, but he sure is playing as a cheat code. MVP candidate or not, it takes an unprecedented amount of gumption and gall to have the overconfidence to sling that sucker blindly as a first year starter, and yet the Chiefs' baller/shot caller did so with a lack of fucks that could only be matched by Brett Favre after his 4th daily dosage of painkillers. I'm working under the assumption that other athletes will eventually follow his evolutionary lead, but - as it currently stands - Patrick Mahomes is a proverbial 3.0 to the 2.0 of everyone merely hoping to contain his superhuman skill-set.
