ALL of it comes gradually at once. Mahomes knows the entire playbook. He'll know it BETTER next year. And the year after that he'll know it even BETTER, all until he's "proficient" in the eyes of Reid. This is exactly how Reid has described this shit for years, going all the way back to when we traded for Alex Smith. Have you ever played football? High school? College? It's pretty common to learn stuff this way. |

So Mahomes understands the telephone-sized playbook by reading it once...knows exactly what the protections/audibles should be and which X,Y,Z WR alters his route depending on the mixed-coverages a professional DC will throw at him..and how they may disguise them. Gotcha...
You guys are a piece of work...but if it makes you feel better to pretend on a football site..have at it. This is just too ****ing dumb to even debate it further... Last edited by BlackOp; 08-05-2017 at 10:07 PM.. |

It might take Mahomes more than 3 years to really feel 100% comfortable with the playbook. And that doesn't even include the speed of the game, nuances of playing in the NFL. He'll be playing long before that though. I don't think you have to worry about that. They didn't draft him to sit for 3 years.
The conversation about it might become insufferable though. I'm not too worried. We're pretty lucky to be in the position we are with Reid. For all of his flaws, he's good at developing players, and he has job security. He's not in a position where he's going to do something stupid with Mahomes for the sake of his job. |

Do you see a running theme here? It may take 3 years to "master" the entire playbook. But that doesn't exclude anybody from being ready to play. |

If he can make plays necessary to win in the playoffs then I'd be down for Alex Smith winning us a Super Bowl. I just want to see him do his part and not take all the credit from the defense and special teams.
I saw him make some nice throws deep in practice so I know he can do it. He just needs to do it in games that would make the difference. I've got a mind to make judgment as I see it when it happens. I have more faith in Patrick Mahomes II even if it takes us several years but we will get there with him and win than I do with Alex Smith. I don't see it happening but I like to be proved wrong if it's in the Glory of the Chiefs I'm all for it. I just don't like Alex Smith holding us back anymore than he has. I see he can throw to Tyreek that is going be his bread and butter if he is going help this offense be up to standards that we deserve to see. It's on Alex Smith not Patrick Mahomes II to take us to the Super Bowl this year. So lets see it happen. DJ and Tamba and Dustin those guys deserve to go to a Super Bowl. This maybe their last chance. |

I heard something about him yelling the plays so loud in the huddle the defenses could hear. Did he fix that problem?
