You don't think that doing their best to ensure that Mahomes doesn't turn out to be a bust aligns with doing what's best for the Chiefs?

Then the mantra of "All Alex Smith does is win" is complete bullshit.

Omar Kelly @OmarKelly
League sources tell the Sun-Sentinel that Ryan Tannehill hyperextended his knee, but the MRI revealed no ligament damage for Miami's starter

For Tannehill... I feel like as chiefs fans we've seen this first hand. Without surgery he is ****ed. And with surgery he's probably missing the season

Doing what is best for Mahomes is what is best for the Chiefs. The long term success of the team rides on him more than any other player.

Your source is old.

I'll take Salguero any day of the week over Omar Kelly.

The source is also accurate

Wrong. Salguero just updated it less than 15 minutes ago

The Miami Dolphins appear to have avoided a major scare, as an MRI revealed starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill didn’t suffer ligament damage when he went down during Thursday’s practice, but there is still uncertainty about his timetable to return and the stability of his left knee.

Tannehill hyperextended the knee during Thursday’s practice, a league source confirmed to the Sun Sentinel, sending fans and members of the Dolphins franchise into a panic. It’s the same knee in which Tannehill sprained two ligaments in December, ending his 2016 season.

Your reading skills are shit. From your updated link:

While the initial diagnosis is encouraging, the Dolphins and Tannehill aren’t out of the woods yet, as concern has now been raised about the stability of the quarterback’s knee. He opted to not have surgery on it this offseason despite suffering partial tears to the anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments last December in a win over the Cardinals.

It remains to be seen if Tannehill could have knee swelling that might sideline him for some time, and a specialist might recommend some type of surgery. An arthroscopic surgery could sideline him for at least a month.

I wouldn't go that far yet. He hasn't done anything except getting drafted high. Big deal, so did Ryan Leaf.

Once he proves himself we can get into doing what is best for Mahomes is what is best for the Chiefs. Once you get a franchise QB you generally do what you can to keep them but he isn't there yet from what I understand.

Until then he's a high draft pick trying to earn the backup QB job. I'm rooting for him as much as anyone. I'd like him to beat out Alex Smith right away but realistically Chiefs need to develop him like any other high draft pick but nothing more. If he is ready to beat out whoever he is competing with for the 1st-string QB job, play him, if he isn't, then don't. Not rocket science.

He's got to earn it and I'm sure he will with time.

If we don't trade Alex Smith it isn't going to because of what is best for Mahomes it'll be about what is best for the Chiefs this season. We can win with Alex and our coaches know that which is why he will NOT get traded.

Holy hell man. Are we even on the same message board right now?

I'm well aware that Mahomes hasn't done anything yet. But there is absolutely zero doubt that Mahomes is the most critical player to our future success currently on the roster. The investment they made in him, along with playing QB--makes this a certainty.

If they traded Alex Smith right now (and they won't), it means that they feel Mahomes is ready and able to lead this offense. I don't think he is, and I doubt Reid does either.

The kid can play when Reid says he is ready, and I'll be cool with it. But Reid must do whatever is best for Pat, and in turn for the franchise.

Easy with all of this making-sense stuff.

Wait till Pat plays a game first. Yes the potential is there but as of right now the best QB on the roster is Alex Smith and I don't think any one doubts that

ROFL

It is truly bizarre to see all of the unnecessary Alex Smith white knighting going on here. It's like a bunch of 12-year-old girls claiming their Twilight camp in here.

There are few, from what I have seen, that are truly hoping for Mahomes to take QB1, and those that are most likely feel it means good thing for the Chiefs if he is able to.

The frequent need to remind everyone that Alex Smith is going to be the starter this year is repetitious and annoying.

Calm down, ladies; you'll still get to see your man-crush in red for another season!

Okay the Saints

Finally ****ing found it this town is a cluster **** but drove around campus and saw Marcus Peters and Spencer Ware walking around together. Tomorrow is going be Awesomeness.

I saw the play on TV a little while ago. It was really awkward looking. I would be shocked if he is back in short order.

It's only a team sport for losses.

Agreed, and I can't even imagine reading through every page and post through the days. Just from the little I bother to catch up on, it's an :rolleyes:.

Just ready to enjoy the season... from whoeverthe**** is playing QB1.

It's ALWAYS a team sport, win or loss. When you are winning a high % of games.. with "the most important player/QB-driven-blah blah being consistently that QB1"... then don't screw around with that proven part of the winning equation.

I really don't give a shit about Ryan Tannehill!

GPS trolled me giving me back roads every where and back to Atchison where I got a motel room. It was crazy and cool though taking a river road that twisted and turned and turned to gravel or dirt. Then a fork on the road. From Western Kansas we just don't have 🌲 wall to wall like a forest. I did find a spot may try some fishing after camp tomorrow.

It's been a long day.

Have you tried Waze?

It's more accurate, IMO, than any GPS, built in to the vehicle or not.

Love Waze.

Only thing that pisses me off is that they don't read the street names out loud, so if there's a few turns you could make, you have to look and see the road name on your phone

No but wish I knew about it sooner. Lol. Thanks.

I want see how Mahomes does under center. That was Casey Printers big downfall but I think he could have to lit up staying in shotgun and we would have been better off than the shit they put out.

How early should we get there in the morning?

I would get there 30-45 minutes before, I went Saturday and got to the field 15 minutes before start, and most of the players were already out stretching.
You can go over behind the VIP area and get a good look at the guys walking down the hill.

No, Casey Printers' big downfall was that he sucked big fat ****ing goat choad

Ok cool and thank you

Hope you had a good time. I'm so stoked.

Yeah but he had to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Latest reports from Schefter say that Tannehill is likely out for the season.

I look for Cutler or Kaepernick to be of interest.

Interesting....

This is the reason you don't think Smith gets equal or better value than Bradford? You think the Vikings choose Bradford over Smith if they had the choice?

No way they bring in Kap after the Castro comments.

Given how the Dolphins invested in defense the past 2 years, I'd think they'd be content with Moore starting and relying on a run heavy base.

If they start Moore, it'll be interesting to see how Julius Thomas' focus alters.

Good luck sleeping tonight.

Cutler worked with Gase so that'd be a good fit.

I tell you what this is the softest bed I've ever laid down on. I want it for home. I just have to get up early but I'll be dozing off as soon as annoying Chris Collenworthless shuts up.

Cutler has no "fire in the belly" to win, PERIOD. Who knows what Gase really thinks of Cutler.

If Dolphins offered a 2nd for Alex smith?

Where'd you see that?

LMAO

No. Trading Smith in the middle of camp would be beyond insane.

Link? Cause that would be a steal for the chiefs.

Shit meant to say if

I gotta edit

I don't think I'd do it this late, I think the chiefs probably feel they have a really good team and don't wanna disturb it

:cuss:. :cuss: you to hell

I'd take a first rounder for Alex.

I'd take a 2nd and 3rd...

And a box of Tampax for the bleeding that would ensure.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Dolphins fear Ryan Tannehill will need season-ending knee surgery, but no decision on it has been made, sources tell @JeffDarlington and me.

That's a huge blow.

I'd do it if I were the Chiefs but they won't. They love Alex the players love Alex. They we rent even thinking about benching him a few years ago when they were 1-5. Even if CP doesn't believe in Alex the franchise did.

Yeah

Plus as much as we don't like it, it won't hurt Mahomes to watch smith for a year. He's not ready

It would be absolutely ****ing stupid for the Chiefs trade Smith this season.

Not only has Rothlisberger been injured and on the verge of retiring, Brady is 40 years old. Brady missed 4 games last year. He didn't play 19, he played 15.

That's HUGE.

This. Plus Smith gives us the best chance at winning

Kaepernick to Dolphins is a near certainty at this point.

I like the way you think !!!:D

Hi Carl!

They won't trade Smith

But if the phins offered up like a 1st or something crazy, they eoild

Carl never signed or drafted a QB that had even close to a 43-21 record

Nah.

He's not expendable to make room for a guy like Wentz, who I loved, BTW, let alone, Mahomes.

Mahomes ceiling is higher than Wentz but his floor is WAY lower.

That's not the move.

In Hard knocks he always sId he wanted the QB that "gave them the best chance to win now"...

Wanted Down field BigGame over Brokie....

Hey there is no structural damage ! What gives ? Oh his knee !!:D

Maybe NFL Dr. McCloud can fill us in on all things NFL knee injuries. Paging Dr. McCloud ! Paging Dr. McCloud !!!:rolleyes:

If you could recoop the pick you gave up for Mahomes, you'd have to do it.

There's no chance in hell the dolphins would do that with smiths price tag contractually I doubt

Mahomes isn't ready but andy could hide him for a while til he was. But in the end it doesn't matter so we're kind of blowing smoke here

Of course you did !!:rolleyes:

Probably not. But it's fun to wish. U loading Smith Nd recouping that 1st round pick for next year. Dream scenario...

True...that's why even if the Dolphins offered a 1st I'd have to really think about it.

Nope.

This team, as it stands, is built for the AFC Championship Game.

There is no way Clark approves that move.

None.

For a first round pick I wouldn't think about it for a second. It'd be done

So afccg huh? :hmmm:.

Why?

For an unknown college player?

You're going to risk the playoffs and an AFC Championship for that guy?

Which guy, again?

If they really felt that way, I don't think they'd have traded up for the future qb. They'd have gone for the win now ILB or something I'd think.

I would think they feel they're a good team but for a first round pick, they'd do it

Dumb as ****.

Helium must be a powerful drug

It's good for blowing up balloons I suppose

1st round pick and Matt Moore, sure. Mahomes should not play this year with the exception of wrap up or mop up

And no way the Chiefs would think about trading Alex this late in the year.

Trade Smith during camp for damn draft picks? Good lord that would be stupid.

How do you know ? Oh I forgot you are in Clark's inner circle. How could I forget !!:rolleyes:
