First US state I went to was Baltimore..... landed there .. that was it. Stayed in LA and San Diego and Vega (they don't have a team). I'm drawn to Kansas City.... dunno why. But their Quarter Back is potfntially gonna be the greatest of all time. Patrick Mahomes. Kid has got serious talent. First, to get pedantry out of the way, Baltimore is a city in the state of Maryland. The Oakland Raiders are moving to Vegas in the off-season, so they will have a team soon.

They managed him well, but he was taken with the 10th pick in the 2017 draft as the 2nd quarterback (only one additional quarterback was taken until late into the third round - the other two being Mitchell Trubisky and Deshaun Watson). In college, he set single game NCAA records for most offensive yards in a game and most passing yards in a game, and led the country in total offensive yards, passing yards and touchdowns in his final season. The only reason he didn’t get rookie hype was that the Chiefs smartly waited for him to learn the offense in his rookie season as they had a very capable veteran QB in Alex Smith for him to learn from. As soon as the season was over, they let Smith leave for the Redskins because Mahomes was always their plan for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 my cleveland browns are a great story. didn't win a game last year, got the QB of our future in Mayfield and now we are still alive for the playoffs. Could have a winning record!! We got the right GM finally in John Dorsey (guy who turned around Green Bay and won a super bowl, and is the reason Kansas City is so good now including Mahomes).

He's having a season like a Brady or Manning, and it's his first one with the starting job. Yes, the Chiefs managed him well, but you don't expect newer players, especially QBs, to start off as well as he has. nyblue23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Browns have been bad for so long that I've actually developed a soft spot for them. Hopefully they've finally found their QB in Mayfield. How many QBs have they gone through over the years?! Notably, Manziel and RGIII recently. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree. I love the Packers, so I really appreciate Rodgers, and I'm about an hour from NOLA so hear about Brees a lot. They'll both go down as all-time greats, especially Brees, even though I think Rodgers is technically better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s frustrating as hell but there are far too many inconsistencies and immeasurables to make fantasy soccer a good game. I’ve tried the past couple years but I just can’t get into it. Hopefully they’ll work it out. I like the draft system better but I was working during the ToffeeTalk draft and ended up with the shittiest squad in the league by a good measure, so I had to quit. And yeah, Mahomes has been incredible. I have him in 2/3 leagues. Unfortunately I also had Le’veon Bell in one of them. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
