Honest question regarding Mahomes... considering the history of 'air raid' style QBs in the NFL, what is it about this kid that gives so many the belief that he can be the one that actually makes the successful transition?

All trolling aside, I think you have to place your faith in the coaching staff. Also, i think often the spread guys are pushed to play too soon, where as PH2 will sit for a year or two. |

Us Chief fans are just elated that our management is taking a shot to actually choose and develop a franchise QB. |

I don't think a few years in an 'air-raid' system ruins a player. It may have inflated their desirability in the past. But his desirability stems from his attitude on and off the field, and strongly by both the apparent consensus of scouts around the league and the determination of the Chiefs FO to acquire him. |

Most college spread/air raid guys are doing the 1 read and go or the coach read from the sideline thing. Mahomes and Texas Tech didnt do that, they ran a pro style pre-snap read and progression mixed with the effectiveness of the college football air raid play style. |

He lined up everybody, he used 13-14 word verbiage pre-snap and 80% of his passes were full field reads.

I dont' think the 'air raid' concern is over-blown as someone else put it, there's a definite trend there as it props up what a player can do at the next level. Who knows how things would have gone had RGIII been able to sit a year or two, same for the others. |

Look at the athlete, the arm strength, the tenacity, the velocity, the deep ball accuracy, and the improvisation skills when forced outside the pocket. Now tell me what the **** Pat Mahomes has to do with ****ing shitty Graham Harrell. Nothing. He's an entirely different player. The stuff he needs to work on can be coached. He's NFL accurate and NFL-built. He doesn't have to learn how to throw unlike some players entering the NFL (coughTEBOWcough). |

Kansas City has finally done what they promised to do when they fired Pioli. They now no longer owe the fans JACK SHIT. If there are fans that want Alex benched in year one and Reid doesn't think Mahomes is ready, they can go **** OFF. |
