Here’s why you don’t start Mahomes

[OKchiefs]

No point in continuing to play Alex. You can see the look on his face every time he gets hit or makes an errant throw, which is often. He's mentally done. He's tough, I'll give him that, but he doesn't have what it takes anymore (if he ever had it to begin with).

Alex actually had time to throw a lot of the day. He has no pocket presence and gets happy feet instantly.

Mahomes will make mistakes, but it's time to go to him. I know Reid won't make the move, but it's the right move. Getting 6 games under his belt would help him immensely in his preparation for next year. He would get some live game experience and would get a better idea on where he needs to improve. Going into next season with no regular season experience leaves us having no clue what we have in him.

Hanging on to Smith for the slim chance of winning in the playoffs is a fools errand. Everybody knows how this story ends.
