*****The Patrick Mahomes Thread*****
IT ****ING HAPPENED
OP UPDATE: Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! Last edited by Dante84; 05-17-2017 at 09:40 AM.. |

I just think, next level success - deep playoff run / Conference Championship Game / SB appearance (and hopefully win) - is not something that can be attained with him at QB. Yes, he performed well against Indy, and yes he was part of the win in Houston (the Chiefs were up so big and early, his role was literally as simple as hand off the ball, don't fumble the snap, and don't throw an INT on the slim change we actually throw the ball), but I just don't see him doing much at all against the good teams we'd see in the divisional and championship rounds. I sometimes jump into the Alex sucks threads and pile on, but it's mostly just for entertainment and the LULZ. I don't think he 'sucks' . I think he is average to above average. But I don't think he's necessarily good, to really good either. Just sort of .....there....if that makes sense. And certainly not anywhere near worthy of his salary or cap hit (but that's a completely different topic altogether). I've joked before that he's a 2 year old stock Honda Civic. Nothing wrong with a Civic; reliable, capable, predictable etc....but you're not winning any races with it either, unless the other car (team) blows up at the line. |

If Alex Smith is putting up numbers like last year and Chiefs are struggling in the W column better think Andy may just make a switch at quarterback and it wont' be Tyler Bray.

If he isn't playing good then he aught to feel the pressure of being benched that's the nature of the beast. Good lord do you just like to argue for sake of arguing?
Every ****ing player in the NFL has to feel pressure of being benched if they are not playing good. If Chiefs go mathematically out of playoff equation why the **** would Alex Smith still be playing? Even if it is the last game of the season. He has to feel pressure to keep the team on track that is his job. |

So Alex Smith can throw 4 interceptions and we are losing 45-10 and he wont be benched for Patrick Mahomes II or Tyler Bray in the fourth quarter?

I just don't want him rushed in and ruined. If Smith goes down and Andy doesn't think the kid is ready, throw Bray in there. F him, he can earn his paycheck for once.

I agree unless Patrick Mahomes II flats out beats Tyler Bray in preseason for the #2 spot and pushes Alex Smith. Then he would show he is capable of running the offense. I don't want it too soon either but I don't think late in the season is too soon.

We got our junk kicked in against the Steelers last year on a Monday nighter and Alex played like shit like the rest of the team. So punting time and time again are like deep interceptions. They hurt.

"This 21 year old rookie NFL QB, learning a new offense, throwing to a bunch of other guys he's never played with, in shorts, over the span of a few days, after hearing 2nd hand from a guy who probably witnessed 5 total throws..........is a disaster."
god, KK is an idiot. of all the 'sports' guys in town, he might be the least knowledgeable on the subject of football. |

Andy Reid isn't going to start a 21 year old kid that's barely started 2 years in college and NEVER PLAYED UNDER CENTER. Your expectations are ludicrous. Quote:
