What will be interesting is how much Reid wants cleaned up from Mahomes i.e. to his footwork because let's face it not only can he make all the throws standing as well as on the run but he is accurate the majority of the time when he does throw even if his footwork is not ideal in certain scenarios. Hopefully Reid will not try to fix too much that is not really broke if you get my point. Sometimes when a person is so athletically talented you have to let him play to his own natural ability, instinct, and intuition and know the difference when to intervene. This is what I hope Reid recognizes from his work with Favre as it translates to Mahomes.

When to tinker and when to not tinker is Reid's goal here IMHO.

That play makes me sick. We traded up for Mahomes because of plays just like that.

IN WITH THE MAHOMES FANS OUT WITH THE ALEX FANS

a great era of Chiefs football is upon us very soon

I heard an interview with donovan McNabb the other day and he said he had to tell Reid "Hey, I'm not Brett Favre" so then Reid let him be himself. So yeah, the same thing crossed my mind. But Reid is a professional Coach so he knows the natural abilities a player has is why they're where they are.

When I saw this video, that play was the final final nail in the coffin for Alex for me.

I was so pissed we traded for Alex Smith DID NOT WANT :cuss:

Just to see a quarterback continue to look downfield as pressure comes will be a welcome damn change from what we have now.

Been said a million times but what was our other option ? Matt Cassel?

And 11-5 and 12-4 made football a lot more bearable.

No, he does need some time to learn behind the scenes. His talent is off the charts and he would have been the #1 overall pick if he was actually ready to start. I hope Alex can stay healthy so Pat is not thrown to the wolves too early.

Any guy Clay assesses, the opposite happens. Let's not forget.

That is what made our (Red Raider) offense so potent for three straight years. We've always been "Receiver U" since Mike Leach took the program and installed his Air Raid offense. So with multiple deep threats, a LOT of short and middle ground opens up. Big 12 defenses tried blitzing Mahomes, which was liking drinking gasoline and whizzing on a brush fire so bad did they get lit up.

The Chiefs have the offensive bombs, bombardment and smart bombs in place. We just lacked the necessary aircraft to deliver them.

That is no longer a problem.

As much as I love the kid, I will never question that he made some decisions that had me wanting to unload an Uzi at my big screen tv. But what you RARELY saw, was him making the same bad decision twice in a row or even in the same game.

Again, this is where his intellect, discipline and focus comes in.

Kliff Kingsbury will be a very good coach for us at Texas Tech in the years to come. But at the end of the day, he and his assistants are still very green and in the early learning curves.

That is not a problem we have with Andy Reid and his staff.

I think a year of preparation will be all that Mahomes needs. Will be reach a Super Bowl in his first starting season? Maybe, but maybe not. But we will be in the playoffs and I would wager as the AFC West Champion.

This is the guy (Mahomes) that has the focus, determination, confidence and skills to get in a gunslinging game with the likes of a Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers and have the Vegas oddsmakers sweating like a Saigon harlot on GI payday. :)

I'm glad Alex was here. I liked the last 4 years, but it's time. If Mahomes looks outstanding in preseason, we may see him sooner than later. I hope he gets tons of playing time, maybe a whole game in the preseason.

So Mahomes 1 year out of college is going to immediately be superior to that of Carr, Mariota, Brady, Luck, Big Ben, Rivers, Flacco and Dalton...and people say I'm the one that's delusional? Am I missing something that people see that give reason to hype him like he's coming out of the gates and going to be successful like Russell Wilson?

:facepalm:

Pump the brakes, kids.

It wasn't long ago that we were hyping another QB because of preseason play, and God knows what team he plays for now. Reid and Dorsey aren't going to **** up this kid's development. Bray is the backup for this season. Get used to it.
