He’s got to go. I’m sure Andy will get good value for Mahomes. https://t.co/58UvJLwoiY

Mahomes’ decision making with his food also led many to call into question whether he is still worthy of the NFL’s MVP award or if it should go to a quarterback who doesn’t tarnish a wonderful food.

Cmon Pat. He’s not even trying to win the MVP at this point. When do we have to start asking whether or not the Patrick Mahomes experiment is over? https://t.co/DN1bksUsT3

Of course, there were some who took the news not only as a positive, but further proof of Mahomes’ greatness.

I'm just sad this didn't go into my pre-draft metrics in 2017 so I could create a position higher than QB1.
