But, as I've said for a long time, a good QB makes a good coach great. That is what happened with Mahomes. Boy oh boy, a lot of folks were wrong about him.

Those fan comments had some humor but most were just excruciating, probably because I was at that game against the Steelers. The only good thing I can say about that day is the Chiefs Planet tailgate was awesome.

It’s so good.

Some of my favorites..

Apparently dude never met all of the Alex sycophants who called this place home for five years:

Has any player lasted as long in this sport without making any plays? Alex Smith has thrown for over 20 TDs twice in a dozen years. He routinely struggles to throw for over 200 yards in a game. After 10 weeks last year, he had completed a grand total of EIGHT passes that traveled 20 or more yards in the air.

He is, at this point in his career, the ideal quarterback for when you don’t want your quarterback to do anything at all. He’s not a game manager. “Manager” implies someone who does things. Managers file reports and stuff! No no, Alex Smith is more of a vestigial side dish to any football game. He’s the little paper cup of coleslaw that comes with every order. He’s pleasantly worthless. From now until the end of time, you could insult any QB by comparing him to Alex Smith and I’ll know your EXACT issues with that player: weak arm, short passes, eternally TERRIFIED to turn the ball over. No one likes Alex Smith

What a whiff on the Veach promotion :

The GM got canned (in June?) and replaced with a Reid stooge, which means we’re roughly three years away from the organization souring on Reid entirely

On Mahomes:

Say hello to your new God, KC:

…

That’s Patrick Mahomes, who will have “raw” added as a prefix to his name for the next five years. I grew up watching his dad pitch for the Twins, and now I feel monstrously old. Anyway, if I know Andy Reid, he will A) Sit Mahomes for so long that your balls explode and you die from screaming at every shot of Mahomes lingering on the sideline with a clipboard, and B) Fashion Mahomes into a robotic pocket passer who will only throw the ball 10 yards or longer if a fire breaks out. Just like Alex Smith! Gonna be a good year. Mahomes got robbed already.

By the way, if Mahomes is anything like every other prolific Texas Tech passer, I think you’re in for a real treat

I’m now all-in on Patrick Mahomes, who is a less-talented Johnny Manziel without the legal issues
