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

I'd take a slightly flabby Mahomes over muscled up bums like Tebow, Brady Quinn and Trent Edwards

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.

Lol, as a Bills fan, I can assure you: Josh Allen is not shredded.
He's all flab, eats like shyt, and has more than a 6 pack a night.

I guess I get OP's point that he doesn't look super otherworldly comic book character athletic with his physique.


But IRL if you saw a dude like Pat Mahomes you'd think he was a high school athlete at least and nobody would be surprised if he told you he played something in college.

Don't be stupid. No one's talking about looking like Brock Lesnar. I'm talking about being in shape.

Breh. He is in shape.

We're talking about using 1 arm. Do you watch baseball. Pedro Martinez looks like a Dominican dude who hangs outside a bodega all day smoking squares and telling stories....but yet is one of the greatest pitchers ever.

Mahomes, also was a baseball player, is no different. It's more about natural arm talent, technique. You want him to do arm curls all day so his biceps look bigger?

cmon, there is a prototypical look that you want a QB to have….weight, height, etc….
For some, shyt probably a lot, I guess. For me its just about production :manny:. Seen too many prototypes look the part while doing nothing.

Why does the hyperbole run so rampant on here?

It’s like a point can’t be made without going to the extreme.
Thats how you get plat threads. I coulda just rsn With “Pat Mahomes arrives at training camp”. Maybe 5 replies at the most.

now I got y’all steaming.

Absolutely. The best QBs have been thin guys.

Montana, Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, etc.

I would not draft a bulky QB just like I wouldn’t draft a midget.

People really have these takes until they see some of these dudes in person, and realize that just because you don't find them attractive enough... they're usually far taller,heavier, stronger and faster than your average male.

:dahell:

I’m making the same argument you made earlier nephew.

I’m asking why did posters come in here and act like you were saying he should be Olympian level shredded when that wasn’t the point.
