Never been an Alex hater. But I'm ready for Mahomes


He's the only reason I watched any preseason. And I WANT to watch him play regular season too. Do I WANT to watch Alex? Not really, Sundays will be almost obligation

Great post. I loved how Mahomes talked about the second near interception. He took all the blame saying he misjudged the jumping ability of the linebacker. So he is still learning what he can and can't do compared to college. What he didn't say-was he thought it was a bad throw or bad choice-Mahomes felt that was something he could do-which was a very difficult throw for any QB-but he has confidence in his talent and won't apologize for trying to make yet another Big play.

He will make mistakes, but they will be from trying too hard to win-and I think we can live with that.

Mahomes is like a giant weapon of mass destruction that will be unleashed on the NFL. All the rockets are in place, but still needs more software uploaded to the main frame to ensure consistent accuracy and complete annihilation of our enemies.

Giving him a year to learn and grow is the right choice, but I believe he can come in and play if Alex goes down.

Why does he need a year? What's he gonna "learn"? QB have never been younger. There are a few old horses out there but QB start right away a lot the last few years.


"Experience" is a nonsense theory. Like an old wives tale

Let me play Devil's Advocate here (I agree with your point) and just say; Aaron Rodgers says hello.

Meh. If Rodgers had played his rookie year he'd have been fine. Does anyone really think he'd end up a brokedick Matt Cassell type since he was "rushed"? Hell o


Talent always wins out in pro sports

I think Rogers is an exception simply because they actually overhauled his throwing motion, which I don't think would have happened without sitting.

Otherwise I agree with you. Best way to get experience is to actually olay

Yeah but "Because Chiefs" we've seen stubborn QB decisions in the past, i.e. Grbac over Gannon, zero back up plan past Cassel.

Again, not disagreeing with your point.

Dude Rodgers might be even better than he is now if that situation was better, Favre handled that whole thing like a complete dickbag.

wow - mahomes play last night was amazing. Really makes you get excited for the chiefs. A handful of those plays were a thing of beauty!

You can really tell his teammates love his energy and seem to kick it in another gear for him.

Without a fumble and a costly penalty- Mahomes could have had 2 more scoring opportunities.

Excuse me, you have a little cum there in the corner of your mouth.

I tend to agree. I've never understood the "broken" QB narrative. Geno Smith would have been a pro bowler if he had been drafted by KC instead of NYJ!! If that was the case, he could still come to KC and be a pro bowler. But, he won't because he's not very good, not because he's been ruined.

Thinking seriously about buying stock in Kleenex.

Geno Smith was NOT a great prospect.

This forum was absolutely delusional about the guy from the start, and it's hard for me to overstate the level of delusion. It was pants on your head reeruned.

Just stop trying to pretend he was an elite prospect. He was a 2nd round pick in a year where teams were hungry for QB's.
