Haha

It's all about his eyes when the real bullets start flying. He immediately takes his eyes to the defensive pressure, perceived pressure, instead of keeping them downfield.

Now keep in mind, I was all for the Smith trade. I was in the "two fumbled punts kept him from the Super Bowl" group. I saw the 1st half of the Colts playoff game as his spring board to franchise QB potential. But I have come to realize... a couple of years ago... that I was wrong. Alex is who he is. 3400 yards, 18 TD''s, 8 Int's. Game manager deluxe. Nothing more. Nothing less. :shrug:

Mahomes just killed it in the 2 min drill. Throws missile to Ross Travis, gets two nice catches from Spiller and scrambles for a TD in 1:04

LMAO

Even the owner knows that isn't happening. His time table is 3-4 years just to get to the Super Bowl.

PBJ

Strides!!! Yes!!!

It's nice reading updates about a QB prospect we drafted who we all know will for sure, start someday... it's different than getting excited about every nice throw Stanzi and Bray made in TC these past few years.

Mahomes looked at home in the no-huddle. + arm and creativity required in that situation plays to his strengths

Mahomes is going to have to look horrible to not win the backu up job. It's clear as day he's should win that job.

Pete Sweeney @pgsween
New Age Outlaws Pat Mahomes and Jehu Chesson almost just connected on a bomb in 11s. Collective gasp from fans.

Pete Sweeney @pgsween
Two incomplete passes for Mahomes to start his seven-on-seven reps. Cleans it up on final rep, hitting a slant in stride.

Matt Derrick @mattderrick
Patrick Mahomes only QB to win his 2-minute drill. Big hit to TE Ross Travis, 2 throws to CJ Spiller. Mahomes scramble for TD.

Except last year he didn't call out his teammates or defend the guy who covered up child molestation. His comparison to Kraft/Hernandez is so ****ing idiotic.

Hogan Prep and Pitt State CB De'Vante Bausby running 2nd team on left side opposite Phillip Gaines. He's getting his shot.

Remember this kid? Local kid who was in camp last year but got hurt. I hope he makes it. Would be a cool story

Disagree. Hope he plays a quarter of 2 in each of the first 2 games none in the 3rd most of the 4th then sit him all year.

This

I think we can all agree that it's best for him to actually practice during the season as the backup instead of sitting on the sideline watching.

Plus if Alex gets hurt we're screwed anyway. Maybe have Mahomes be the backup and if Alex gets hurt, sign a vet if he's not ready.

Did you say vet? We have JOEL STAVE!!

They like Bray if they didn't he wouldn't have been around for 4 years. I don't know who's out there besides Kaepernick that you would say for sure is better than Bray.

Yep or even goes to the Superbowl. No way you pass on having both a quality veteran plus a high potential QB who can continue to learn from him

I don't ever recall Smith looking outstanding in year 1 and 2 in training camp. Even last year. He looked 'great' but compared to what we had on the bench

LMAO

YOU are likely better than Bray. They've kept him around because he was created in a lab drawn up by every football coach ever. They're in love with his "potential", not what they see out of him on the field.

I fully expect Bray to be the #3 IF he even makes the team this year. And I say that as a guy that would rather see Mahomes sit and learn all year.

So what you're saying is, Bray will be starting by week 1.

BS.

:D

Kaepernick is way too inaccurate for Reid. He also runs before the pocket collapses.

It won't shock me if they go with Stave over Bray, unless Stave is somehow worse than Bray.

If so, good grief.

At that point, they should just sign Shaun Hill.

It's glaringly obvious how much better Smith is than the other QB's in this video...

Alex Smith - 7 on 7 drill Champeen!

KnowMo is so scared of Mahomes LMAO

I've NEVER seen him this shook up

7 on 7. With the best receivers. Maybe we can get the NFL to let us play games with 7 on 7 since Alex does' like pass rushers closing in on him.

The first pass from Mahomes at :55 is better than any throw Alex made in that video LMAO

Edit: looks like that's Bray actually

Mahomes looks incredible.

It's hard to tell who is who after Alex in the video

Doesn't matter. He will always be who he is and always has been. Boring and a fraidy cat when the pressure is on.

AAAIIIII EIGHTY!!! YAAAAAAHHHTT SHHHAAATTT

Thanks for posting this! For a non Chiefs fan you're alright.

Mahomes reminded me of Russell Wilson during his two-minute drill. He's smooth. He had a couple of bad throws today but very, very impressive. He owned the third team.

**** that bundle of sticks he's just trolling on Mahomes

Until he owns the first team D he's just a backup

It was/is in the OP in the twitter page.

Patience grasshopper

Patience? He's getting off on the negative shit. He doesn't want Mahomes to succeed...and the guy is already flashing.

No, I think he's just realizing that the Chiefs have better QBs than the Broncos, and he's pointing that out. It's big of him.

No I'm saying let's not get our hopes up quite yet. Yes owning the third team D is good but let's see what he has against real competition

I know he doesn't. Mahomes can't carve up the 1st team defense until Reid gives him that chance. There will be times in camp when the 2nd team offense goes up against the 1st team defense. I suspect Mahomes will get his chance at some point.

That's nice and all but Mahomes is on the third team O. Bray is currently the #2

For now. Hence, patience.

If Bray continues to Bray, he won't be the 2nd QB for much longer

Ross Travis hype!

I think I agree with you.

I'd like to see how Alex would do vs the 3rd team...while utilizing 3rd team offensive players.

Blue balls everywhere.

Remember Alex leading TD drives in the first 3 preseason drives last year and people thought he would be awesome?

Yeah me too...

IIRC, Reid has stated it will be an open competition for the backup spot. If that is true, there will be days when Mahomes gets the 2nd string snaps. Then 3rd string snaps. Then 2nd team. And so forth. Until Reid makes his decision on who the backup is going to be.

I remember everyone talking about how great of a camp Cassel had in 12.

You don't think Cam Newton/Russell Wilson/Andrew Luck/ Mariota/Winston wouldn't succeed against the 2nd and 3rd string defense going into their respective camps as a rookie?
All he's saying is pump the brakes on all the hype...

OC Nagy: Patrick's gone from screaming the play in the huddle in his first practice where the defense can hear him to looking off safeties

Noice

You see smith at 1:17 Already starting his chemistry with Escobar.

Well that sums it up. Kelce will get traded

Escobar will be a much needed addition for the red zone offense.

Mahomes can only play against who the coach puts on the field but you know he will continue to improve and move up on the depth chart and eventually take over Alex Smith job. So there is hype and he deserves the hype he gets.

The third string TE for the Cowboys is going to be the red zone savior for Alex Smith.

:rolleyes:

Well, it won't take much for Escobar to be a better Red Zone target (or receiver, for that matter) than Demetrius Harris.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ross Travis in preseason. He spent a portion of the offseason here in LA, training with Glazer and Tony Gonzalez.

Hopefully, he's progressed.

Were gonna keep 4 TEs Kelce, Harris, Escobar, Travis

Actually Harris was pretty good in the red zone last year

Harris has hands of stone.

The guy had ****ing 1 TD last year.

I sure as **** hope not. That's waste of a roster spot.

I'd like to see Harris develop some hands, along with Travis.

Escobar has been garbage in Dallas.

Nobody was expecting Escobar to replace Witten. But in the red zone, Escobar scored 4 times on 9 receptions in 2014 to Witten's 5 TD's total for the entire season.

If he can stay healthy and improve his blocking, he'll be a red zone target and a more reliable one than Demetrius Harris ever was.

Escobar had limited snaps in Dallas due to Witten. He had 8 TD's in four seasons (30 receptions), which is far more than Harris or Travis combined.

All I know is that someone needs to step up and be the #2 TE because having 3 broke dick backups doesn't help the team.

You can't teach players to catch at this level. They either have it or they don't. Route running is different story (see Michael Crabtree).
Ginn is a fine example, hasn't improved his catching ability at all and the only thing keeping him around is elite speed.

He had two 2 point conversions (one taken away) and a single TD. He missed one that was point blank too.

For the season, he had the highest drop rate of any player.

I expect the Chiefs to part ways with him at some point in the near future, especially with his character issues surfacing.

Zoomed in on the action here. Just very, very smooth with his dropback and delivery.

Nice ball placement here that allowed for YAC.

http://i.imgur.com/frP4MYo.gif

Avoided the rush and stayed in the pocket and found the open man here. Really nice stuff.

http://i.imgur.com/fwCtCzk.gif

Runs it in for the TD. Definitely felt like Wilson here.

http://i.imgur.com/ua4co72.gif

Four plays, 1:04, TD. #SEX

He was key in helping us beat the Donkeys

http://www.chiefs.com/news/article-2...0-916eff00a212

Notes from today's pressers.

Escobar was third string.

Well we do use a lot of 2 TE and 3 TE sets. Spiller probably won't make the team. It'll be Ware, Hunt, and West. As for WRs I pray that Wilson gets cut and Jones makes it. Jones has shown that he belongs so far getting reps with the 1s

I would most certainly hope that Alex would look great in practices that are conducted in shorts with no pads on. This is his 5th training camp with the Chiefs and 13th overall so he should know every detail about what's going on how to go through the drills.

This is the first time Mahomes has done this with people he just met. I don't expect any player in that situation to look like a veteran right off the bat.

So you're saying if the OL does its job, Alex can actually be a very good QB?

7 on 7, then why can't the other QBs look as good against the lower order defenders? :rolleyes:
