So I'm sure many of you have either heard or heard about Steve Young's take a couple days ago about Brock and the "comparison" that he made to Mahomes. It's now getting around to the national football media and they're collectively losing their effing minds. The problem is he wasn't comparing him straight up to Mahomes as a QB, he was comparing one single aspect of Brock's mentality and makeup to what he remembers about seeing PM in that one start he made the last game of his rookie season (resting Alex Smith). So these idiot talking heads are taking something completely out of context and losing their s**t.

Yeah, it's an absolute joke because that isn't what young said at all. He just said his calmness and poise reminds him of Mahommes as a rookie - because he was so impressed by Mahommes poise. That's all.

Also the off platform style; clearly Mahomes has some tools very few others do.. but when you see a QB doing this.. come on now.. who does this remind you of

Brock is more like dollar store Mahomes. Which is still pretty damn good in the grand scheme of football.

Watch the video then come back and talk. I would argue that was the most mobile Trey has looked and most of those runs he was just reacting. Something to be said when the designed QB power runs don't look as explosive.

And listing Josh Allen and Herbert with the other guys just further proof that you're just kind of rambling nonsense here. Those are very different players and Trey is absolutely in the Allen and certainly the Herbert level.

What? I'm not saying he plays like all of those guys? I'm saying he isn't mobile like them! Many players can be mobile - not just the big and fast ones.

id love Trey to turn out like those guys but it's pretty disrespectful to say he's on their level. Lol

the fact that you can't separate out traits from players and compare them, is very telling. You only compare complete bodies of work? Sad.

First of all his broken finger has nothing to do with his running. It was a follow through on a pass that can happen to any QB.

He had plenty of nice elusive runs vs Seattle. Wasn't a pretty game for him throwing wise but especially towards the end of the game there were several fast twitch elusive runs.

It's why I'd prefer we don't run him like a FB as much and save his running for broken pass plays or limit them to redzone, goal line situations.

Link for you to make it easier to remember.

Players like Justin fields, Lamar jackson, Josh Allen, Herbert, younger Wilson, etc. those guys are mobile. If you feel like Trey moves ANYTHING like those guy, then we just have to agree to disagree.

i personally don't think you can be considered a mobile qb if you struggle to get to the point of mobilizing. He's definitely capable of running but I don't think he's any good at it. I don't think that's a strength of his at all.

i thought it was very telling that Kyle would just run up the gut with him, which I still think was stupid.

idc if someone is big and fast on paper. That doesn't mean you're a mobile qb. You have to prove that you can avoid the rush consistently, extend plays consistently, beat defenders. Maybe he will when he is healthy.

im saying that I personally don't think he should be considered mobile just cause on paper he's big and fast. I want to see it on the field.

It felt like the same situation when Trey was in there as when Jimmy was.
