Through three weeks NOBODY in the history of the world has thrown more touchdown passes than Patrick Mahomes. He has 13. More than Tom Brady. More than Peyton Manning. He has not even thrown an interception yet. To say he has looked impressive is a massive understatement. He looks like the second coming of Brett Farve. Like if Russell Wilson had a baby with Aaron Rodgers. I understand last week that I cautioned everyone to temper your expectations and to not crown Mahomes too soon but he’s making it very difficult when he pulls off stuff like this.

This is more than just an impressive start. This is history in the making. They stack up with the Vikings from 1998. That team had Randal Cunningham, Chris Carter and Randy Moss. They stack up the St. Louis Rams in 1999 when they had Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce and Tory Holt. The marriage between Andy Reid and Mahomes along with the weapons at his disposal is what makes this offense so special. If you gave Reid some truth serum and asked him if this was the best offense he has ever had he would say yes. He has everything you could ask for in an offense. A quarterback that can make any and every throw you could ask of him. You have the fastest receiver in the NFL. You have the best tight end in football. You have one of the best running backs in football who led the league in rushing last year. Andy Reid has his lab coat on in his coaching meetings cooking up plays every week. He has an assortment of new toys to play with and he is using every single one of them.

Right now the only way to stop Mahomes is to keep him off the field. The 49ers outscored the Chiefs 17-3 in the second half by methodically driving down the field. Mahomes was not in rhythm like he was earlier and the 49ers were blitzing more often. Maybe other teams will take that blueprint and use it against them. That team could be the Denver Broncos who have a pretty good defense of their own. Von Miller and Chris Harris are as good as they come in terms of a linebacker corner duo. I have a feeling the moment won’t be too big for Pat. He has shown me he has the mental fortitude to go into hostile situations and still perform at his best. Couple that with Andy Reid and you have a formula on offense that has no antidote. Patrick Mahomes could be owning this league for a long time. He is only 23. Let that sink in.
