There are multiple stories of Mahomes tossing dumptruck loads of interceptions in practice. "Listen, the kid needs a lot of work" -Andy Reid Getting to sit for a season and learn was his biggest help, and that's Andy Reid, and by default, Alex Smith. It is what it is. |

Look I was one of the loudest criticizers of Alex on this board, but I don’t think we can underestimate the fact that Alex could have gone scorched earth in the locker room on his way out the door (something he had happen to him by his coach as a rook in SF). I’m not sure how much Smith “taught” Patrick, but the fact Mahomes dad (himself a veteran of locker rooms), continues to credit Smith for helping Patrick’s transition to the NFL says a lot.

Travis without a doubt. Especially in the early days where mahomes was doing lots and lots of things off script. Kelce is one of the best off script receivers the game has ever seen. It is also a reason, in my opinion, why demarcus Robinson was such a weapon for us. Unlike Travis, Demarcus is not great on script but he is exceptional getting open off script (of course… getting open and catching the ball and running forward, that’s a different story)
Not only early, but kelce has also been critical to the new mahomes era. Whereas tyreek got bracketed by two deep and we see the same this year with a healthy tua, kelce has always been scheme proof. Right now it’s more an issue of his physical limitations catching up to him |

Orlando Scandrick without him Patrick probably doesn't get as many chances to throw for 50 TDs

It's Alex Smith.
All other answers are wrong. |
