The thing that I am battling myself with is whether or not playing Mahomes would really be running the risk of ruining him. I believe, given the coaching we have, and the strong supporting cast, that we wouldnt "ruin" Mahomes.
Now there is also the question of whether or not he can be successful as a rookie QB. Well, IMO, what Alex brings to the table is what a backup QB brings to the table. So I absolutely think Mahomes could replicate what Alex does production wise. While Mahomes would obviously make more mistakes, I wholeheartedly believe that the big plays he would bring would offset the mistakes.
So would that version of Mahomes as a rookie be better than what Alex brings? I am not sure. But what I am confident in saying is that he would not be so much worse to the point where our season goes to shit.
I am still on board with Alex starting for now. But come week 8, I dont know that I still will be.

Reid has been tremendously patient with his QBs in the past. Expect that to continue.
I really don't see why it's a bad thing that he sits for a year. I'm excited for the future. I'm excited for 2017. We finally have a QBOTF.
