Favre was every bit as raw as this guy, but he went to Green Bay and successfully started in much less time than Mahomes will have should he start in 2018
Bookmark these posts to burn me with next year, I could certainly be wrong... but there is some real history to look back at, and knowledgeable NFL people who have been there and done that echoing my feelings
We'll see how it goes down, but 'The Kid' just seems to have the It factor that makes me ready for change... and horny 
His arm talent is hardcore football porn |
My comments aren't about being "right" or being "wrong".
It's about managing expectations for an extremely talented but extremely raw 21 year QB prospect.
It's a fools errand to unequivocally state that Alex Smith will be cut and Pat Mahomess will start in 2018. The kid hasn't played a down of NFL football, has a steep mental learning curve and needs at least a full year at the training table.
I can't wait until the day that Mahomes is the starter but I think it's highly unlikely that he's ready Week 1 of the 2018 season. That's just a realistic expectation.
