I was expecting Mahomes to be prime Favre-like but in the modern passing era. I was wrong! He is unmatched. A complete outlier. Our outlier!

there is no need to shit on Alex Smith. He was what he was. That was his talent level.
Smith by all accounts, was a great teammate. Worked hard on getting better. According to Mahones himself, was a great tutor on how to be a professional QB in the NFL. How to read defenses etc. Smith was as good as he could be. No reason to trash the guy. Blame management for not getting an upgrade.
