Pat Mahomes looking like a regular dude makes his dominance even crazier.

His physique doesn't seem noteworthy to me :manny:. How is it inhibiting his performance? Please school me if its something I am missing.

Never said it did. To say he can't improve by being in better shape is crazy. He doesn't need to do it, but it speaks to how good he is. He's not i shape but balling.
Look at Brees, Rodgers, Brady, etc. They were in better shape.

Cats were shytting on Big Ben but now have amnesia. :heh:

True....Brady was lanky, though. Mahomes looks sloppy. I'm sure he'll get his shyt together come September.

All them muscled up QBs don't win shyt.

When your job is throwing you don’t wanna become too muscular upper body wise

Very true, but I'm not saying he should be muscular. Bruh has a gut. Big Ben got 2 rings....

He looks flabbier than that now. Josh Allen is kinda surprising but that probably protects him from all those hits he takes.

Dude still has a rocket arm and he is an above average scrambler. Sure he has a 'dad bod' it hasn't hurt him.

i think it's more about being surprised that a cat with a dad bod is literally on Brady's heels. In an age where athletes take so much care of their bodies. Avg QB is pretty trim.

Heard a few different QBs talk about how being too muscular/shredded negatively impacts their throwing motion and ability to recover.

There's exceptions like Lamar, Allen, Hurts, etc - but that's why you see a lot of them lean into the pudgy physique and prioritize flexibility.

Bill Walsh da gawd on record saying he don't want a QB that's built

Brady didn't really go on that health kick until his 30s. Most QBs are pretty average in physique.
