Fat Stanley vs Not Fat Mahomes

[Legend Hawk]

Twins has officially been broken. It's sad.

We are seeing first hand what happens to a person when they obsess daily non stop over their rival for 8 or 9 years. It is a pretty sad sight.

Twins, I"m serious here, the first step to recovery is to admit you have an obsession/problem. If this sad, sad thread doesn't show you that, I don't know if anything ever will.

Stanley has an NFL caliber arm.

No he doesn't. They took a flyer on him due to his size with the hopes they can make him somewhat accurate

Mahomes did not impress me all that much in college, aside from his clear physical gifts. Huge arm, and sometimes did completely amazing things. Stanley also did not impress me all that much in college (nothing more to add there).

Wow! This is embarrassing.

I haven't seen, but has anyone discussed why the Vikings drafted him when they already had 3 quarterbacks?

Salary cap...if he pans out much cheaper backup

Mahomes had a garbage team. Stanley had a good team with a boring offense. Two totally different reasons.

I'll give it to @CyTwins on this one, it's up to 3 pages with some real responses. Not bad.

Evidently the OC thought he was worth wasting a pick on. Spielman has made comments on the attributes he liked for each of their picks, but I've seen nothing from Rick on Stanley.
Stanley won't make the practice squad when they get him live and see he has no lateral movement against a pro DL.

You shouldn't have made it such a close comparison. Brady might have given us some pause.

Fitzy also went to Harvard & has a melon on par with Bigfoot.

He looks like McGregor's older and more drunk brother:

Stanley has an NFL caliber arm, plus he threw for over 8000 yards in 3 years as a starter with almost 80 TDs. Of course NFL teams are going to take a flyer on him.

He threw for 68 TDs in his career, which I suppose is "almost 80"?

Well, when your talking tavernhok math, it's close enough.

There are more multiple Nate Stanley threads going on this board right now. That is a problem.

Everyone knows it was your 7 alts that voted for Stanley.

The real question is how Kliff Kingsbury managed to parlay having a losing record in college with Patrick Mahomes as his QB into a head coach job with an NFL team. Truly amazing.

You think I have multiple accounts on here? FWIW I voted for Mahomes because I'm not an idiot

I have no idea if you have alts on here. I'd think not, but it is hard to put anything past you really. I can't even begin to imagine the skill and effort it takes to obsess about your rival all day, every day for the past 8 or 9 years. So that makes me just assume you are doing many, many more things that are well beyond us common folks understanding.

I've had one and only one account here for over a decade

Over a decade? That is great to know, thanks for clearing that up.
