Patrick Mahomes ain’t Patrick Mahomes in every situation. 

This pass went 30 yards on a rope and hit his receiver in the facemask before being dropped. That kind of otherworldly athleticism translates to 32 of 32 teams.

Browsing the draft grades for Mahomes most gave them a B or B+. So lets not pretend everybody or anybody saw what was coming.

I think you missed the point. They lost the game despite this because the situation matters.

Situation absolutely matters. Mahomes would have been running for his life here, just like Cam. Imagine Cam or Mahomes behind Dallas' billion dollar offensive line a few years back. Imagine a healthy Cam with Andy Reid or hell even Joe Brady. It makes me so angry to know the Panthers squandered a generational talent on hacks like Mike Shula, and that Rivera/Hurney/Gettleman let him get beat to hell because they were too stupid or stubborn to properly invest in a legit o line or weapons for Cam.

The answer is trading up for Greg Little. Whoever wrote this didn’t dig deep enough

Marty loved his vets and paid them way more than the market on new contracts when they were past there prime .  He made mistakes when he let Bradberry leave . He hurt the fans when he let Steve Smith go . The Cam Newton for Teddy Bridgewater deal wasn't handled well . Teddy got way more than his worth .  It was time for new management .

This comes as absolutely no surprise:

CAROLINA PANTHERS: ANYTHING AFTER THE SECOND ROUND

Marty Hurney wasn’t fired for his draft record, as he did fine in early rounds. It was Rounds 3-plus where they simply have struggled to find competency. Arguably the best one of the bunch has been Corn Elder, who earned a 68.5 grade this season on 411 snaps as a slot corner. If that’s your biggest mistake, though, it’s been a solid span of drafts.

When one of Marty's best post-2nd round picks is a throw away pick from Gettleman, that says a lot.

Marty wasnt responsible for Smitty.

I'd argue some of his 2nds are why we were always so up and down.

His "hit" % in the 2nd if damn near unbelievable, and then toss in the trade ups...whew.

Agreed. I think Reid deserves a TON of credit for Mahomes because he's worked wonders with every QB he's ever had, but I don't think there's many situations where Mahomes doesn't become an elite NFL QB.

[Moo Daeng]

Seems the biggest mistake would need to be wiffs on picks in top rounds. I would say that would be Butler or Little.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: WHERE TO START…

Go take a look for yourself. I don’t think there’s been a worse drafting team over the span. D.K. Metcalf in 2019 and landing Chris Carson in the seventh are really the only saving graces for what’s been a messy five years of picks. It's almost incomprehensible after how dominantly the Seahawks drafted from 2010-2012.

This is precisely what has me worried about our new GM. 

We've potentially jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire.
