Chiefs not considering benching Alex Smith for Patrick Mahomes this season
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/c...s-this-season/


Per Jason La Canfora


Despite their recent struggles on offense, the Chiefs are not inclined to make any switch at quarterback, team sources said, though the staff does remain very bullish on first-round pick Patrick Mahomes and his ability to take over as soon as next season. Mahomes continues to impress teammates and coaches with his efforts in practice and how he conducts himself in meetings and around the facility, and there is a strong sense that he could be a franchise quarterback sooner rather than later.

Even with their recent falloff in the passing game and running game, and with Mahomes' athleticism and huge arm, there is no movement to move on from veteran Alex Smith now and the only way he would lose his job would be to injury, sources said. Smith has tailed off from what was an MVP-like first half, with the Chiefs storming to a 5-0 record and being talked about as perhaps the best team in football.

They've gone into a 1-4 swoon since then and face a critical AFC game with the Bills this weekend, with the Chargers suddenly surging in the AFC West and the Raiders still capable of making a run, too. Smith has failed to maintain the big plays downfield that helped the team get off to such a torrid start -- the dink-and-dunk nature of the offense under him was part of the allure of Mahomes in the draft, as his gunslinger approach is the opposite of that -- and rookie running back Kareem Hunt has been bottled up as well.

Smith is coming off his worst game of the season in a loss to the lowly Giants coming out of the bye. He threw multiple interceptions, which is out of character for him. Coach Andy Reid was somewhat critical of his play after that, but Smith continues to get the bulk of starting reps and is entrusted with getting this team to the postseason.

However, numerous other GMs anticipate the Chiefs shopping Smith, who has one year left on his contract, in the offseason. He is signed to a team-friendly deal that is easy to deal, he would have significant value to any contending team that may want to upgrade at quarterback (Jacksonville; Arizona or Denver if they opt not to rebuild) and he is a proven, steady hand who teammates love and who protects the football (almost to a fault). The Chiefs seem poised to turn the offense over to Mahomes and it would be anything but a surprise should Smith leave Kansas City via trade after arriving there from a swap with the 49ers upon Reid's hiring.

Yes there is reason to start a Quarterback controversy. Like it did to start the season light a stick of Dynamite under Alex Smith or bench his lame ass for our future benefit.

When the time comes, there will be a phantom injury to avoid humiliation and preserve trade value

Benching Alex will hurt his trade value. That's why they aren't going to make a move.

The FO using the press here to quiet the fan base, BUT the FO can't prevent AS's neutured crappy play and is AR willing to risk losing the division to the Chargers(a la not going to the playoffs) just so he can prevent any kind of physical contact on Mahomes this year ? AR is too competitive and I don't think so.

But In58men is okay with trashing the season with AS this year, thus lowering AS's trade value, thus delaying Mahomes NFL QB development until next year, ALL FOR WHAT ???

SO HE DOESN"T GET INJURED THIS YEAR AS OPPOSED TO NEXT YEAR???

What's the point ??? Heck, IF Mahomes got injured this next month he still plays next year !! IF he gets injured next year he is out all season delaying his QB development EVEN MORE because he didn't play this year !!! And IF Mahomes stinks it up this year, so what !! You can't destroy this kid's psyche because he played at Texas Tech for goodness sake, throwing 25 INTS in 2yrs !!!

So you believe that AR is okay forgoing the playoffs this year then in order to recoup some picks ???

Don't get me wrong, I think you are correct assuming AS's play is just mediocre BUT IF AS continues to play really bad how does that not hurt his trade value just as bad while forgoing the playoffs as well ??

I'm a Chiefs fan, so my view is completely reeruned on reality, but I think there's a chance we can add to the line, secondary, and LB units this offseason.

Like Teddy Bridgewater?

Understand we would see these polished up gleaming facets much sooner next year IF he were to get out the elbow grease and polish up some this year.

We will add to our other units regardless whether PM2 plays this year or next. You do realize TB's inury was a non-contact fluky injury ?? Water is wet and I could get run over crossing the street tomorrow. Why delay PM2's development IF we could not only start it this year but get his confidence going getting used to the playoffs this year ?? Just saying.
