FYP! It's what he will do after throwing an interception that will make fans believe. Our opponent isn't going to turn every interception into a touchdown but I'll bet that Patrick will reciprocate with plenty of touchdown drives after he throws an interception.

The way offenses are designed today it's much more about creating space and getting guys the ball in space. Mahomes will throw more interceptions than Alex Smith, yes. But it's not going to be something that's a major issue.

99% of QBs can't do what Smith did, and that's okay. A lot of those 99%ers are better than Alex Smith (Brees, Manning, Roethlisberger, etc). |

Alex not throwing picks is partly to blame for him not throwing very many touchdowns.

Mahomes might triple Alex's INTs from last year his first few seasons while he learns what he can and can't do, but he'll more than make up for it because he's not just a one read QB like Alex. He has great field vision & goes through his progressions & instead of checking it down, throwing it away, taking a sack or running it, he'll hit that 2nd or 3rd read, he'll keep his eyes down the field while pressured and look to make a play. And he'll attempt those tight windows throws like we've already seen him do numerous times and he'll be a HUGE upgrade over Alex on 3rd downs & in the redzone...which we've already seen as well. |

Peyton Manning once threw 55 touchdowns in a season. He also once threw 28 interceptions.
Alex's highs are 26 and 16. |

I think 33 8 is something I would love but would even be happy with 33 16 realistically. A lot depends on the team if they are 9-7ish he could put up huge numbers but if the defense plays better somehow he may not have to. Esp if reid learns how to use hunt to bury teams when we are leading.

Pat is extremely coachable and has everything set up perfectly for him. Elite level weapons, elite level coaching, year to learn the system. All signs point to him being a monster, but there will be some bumps in the road. Hopefully not too bad. |
