Don't get me wrong, I want to see as few ROOKIE mistakes as possible in his 2nd year. I want him to rock it for sure. BUT be emotional prepared for growing pains and losses is all I am saying especially with a defense that is still in rebuild mode. Like I have said before, at least we will have a QB now who will make mistakes being aggressive trying to make a play downfield thus more likely than not we will always be in the game until the very end.
I get all the excitement and not trying to be a wet blanket here  but I am realistic as well which I think many here are not. 
Aside from his physical talent the biggest plus I see is his "moxy maturity" and his love for the game and his intense passionate drive to win.  |
What is with all the baby references? Cutting teeth (twice) and now binky? You are talking as if Mahomes is some little baby that will be coughing up the ball. And if Mahomes does throw an INT it is a mistake- not sure why you keep tagging on ROOKIE Mistake- because once again- he is Not a rookie.
You say you are not trying to be a wet blanket (baby reference) but are pimping a team that has not beat us in 4 years and has an aging, immobile QB who is the King of "Rookie" mistakes when it comes to ball security and closing out games. It would be great if you had an original opinion instead of just quoting the same thing in the media- Rookie QB / shitty defense- won't make the playoffs. I think you are all discounting Mahomes- he stepped into the QB position in college with very little experience and was able to keep the job over a couple of good QB's. Personally, I think after winning in Denver he should have stayed the starter and we would have won that playoff game. Alex was terrible.
