I am not hoping Mahomes fails. As a Chiefs fan I hope he turns out to be the next Brady but at the same time I'm not going get excited just because he is a 1st rd draft pick. I want to see something that impresses me before I get too excited and I have that right. I didn't see anything last night that got me that excited. That's just being honest.
To be fair that's to be expected it's his first preseason game and he barely played. He could have a bad first year and still turn out to be great so I'm not concerned at all. I'm going to be patient with him.
Just because he is a rookie doesn't mean he isn't allowed to get criticized.

Great post-thanks for clarifying. I was just trying to put it in perspective. You were impressed with Alex and his 15 TD's all last season and a horrible playoff choke job- but very unimpressed with a rookie QB coming off a week or so of practice and putting up better stats than all the other QB's on the roster. I think people should be more disappointed how the Chiefs could look like absolute shit and lose to the ****ing 49ers at home- preseason or not. pathetic.
My expectations and hopes- were that he would not get hurt, not throw a bunch of interceptions and could take a snap under center and make a play of it. All those things came to fruition as he showed flashes of why he will eventually be the best QB to ever wear red.
It is such a luxury that he can sit and learn for a year, grow stronger in mind and body- next year will be amazing!
