I'd be fine with Mahomes not getting many/any reps with the 1s. I'd also be fine with him getting a series or two. Either position has some merit. But just shitting on the idea that Mahomes should get a lot of snaps this pre-season is absurd. If his point is that Mahomes shouldn't get snaps with the 1s, he should make it better. |

That said, if by game three, Mahomes has clearly won the #2 gig, then I'd be more than fine with Smith playing the first half and Mahomes the entire second half and in game four, no Smith at all. Quote:
Giving noticeably more snaps to Mahomes than Smith sends a mixed message for 2017. |

We've been watching the NFL long enough to know how these things go. The "veteran" back up will get the nod and rookie will have to "prove" it. The veteran will eventually give way to the rookie before TC/Preseason is over. Same ol' song and dance year after year. The coach speak fools no one. |

Sure but he doesn't need to get as many or more than Smith with the 1's.

I personally would like Mahomes to get more PT than Alex, but later in the game. Stave doesn't deserve an entire quarter. I want to get our 1st rd investment as much experience as possible in games that don't matter. |

Since 2013, the Chiefs, due to injuries, have played at least 3 running backs per season. In 2013, it was Charles, Davis, Gray and at times, McCluster. In 2014, it was Charles, Davis and Gray. In 2015, Charles, Ware, West and Davis, same as 2016. It's important for him to be on the same page with his backs in the passing game, which is a huge element of Reid's offense. And if all the camp reports are true (which I take with a grain of salt but should be noted), Kareem Hunt is going to see a lot of playing time this year, so working on that timing in the passing game is important, regardless of where he's at on the depth chart today. And don't even get me started on the number of receivers he's had to develop chemistry with during that time. Hell, other than Maclin, Kelce and Hill, you could argue that he's had very little chemistry with any of them. |

No, Stave doesn't deserve an entire quarter. There's probably 30-40 guys you could probably say the same for. But as Reid said, that's only the plan for week 1. Moving forward, reps will be given to those who've earned it. I wouldn't bet on seeing much of Stave past week 1. |

Game 4 should be Alex Smith goes out for a series or two and then sit. Hopefully his series or two nets a strong scoring drive and looks good doing it. Then the rest of the game be Mahomes if he wins the #2 at that point but if he doesn't then Bray would need take over mid first quarter and play into the third quarter and Mahimes finishes the game. It would suck not going game and Patrick not getting to play that much in the fourth game. He needs all the reps he can get before the season imo. I'm counting on him winning the second string job but Bray may surprise us and hold his own. He has had some good throws in practice but also errant throws to worry about from Bray. He does know the offense better than Mahomes at this point so he has the advantage.

The time he had in the pocket at Texas Tech wasn't THAT bad. I expect he'll have even less time while playing behind a 3rd string OL.
