Mahomes should feel right at home after tonight.

[JDKinman]

The Chiefs looked like his old college team last year--

• No offensive line

• Play/momentum-killing penalties

• A tight end (Escobar) who couldn't catch a cold in an incubator

• No run game

• A defense that couldn't wrap up and tackle one-legged nuns playing for The Over-the-Sacred Hill Sisters of the Invalid.

The difference tonight versus his final season at Tech was that this evening, he showed discipline in doing what the coaches told him to do and not trying to freelance every play.

That TD pass he threw? Tech fans and alumni have seen that pass dozens of times. It's almost a Mahomes trademark--but it doesn't make the highlight reels because he makes it look too easy.

Stave just needs to go. He ain't it and never is going to be.

Conclusion: Mahomes got his first NFL game under his belt, stayed cool, made no major mistakes.

Mission accomplished.

Watson looked good at least, Trubisky has made some wow plays on the run and into traffic, and even Kizer killed it. It is much needed for the NFL. They need an influx of QBs to keep this league honest. In all reality its been Brady, Brees, Manning, Rogers, and Rothesberger for too damn long. its getting stale.

I'm glad we didn't wait another year as this year class seems up for the challenge and the old guard like Tom Brady and Drew Brees are going hit a wall sooner than later and there will be a change of power in regards to elite quarterbacks.

yeah, the power shift will be swift. There are alot of young up and coming QBs in the league right now.

Everybody was so high on Luck, i think he will prove to be a lower middle of the road type QB in this generation when it is all said and done.

Easily 10 young QBs i would take over him right now.

Brady/Brees/Rothlesberger will dissapear into the ether and it cant ****ing come soon enough.

You're not the only one here who feels Luck is mostly hype

But its a mistaken idea, Indy would be Browns level bad without him... he is a born QB IMO

i didnt mean to make it seem like i think he is terrible. But if i were starting a team from scratch today, he would probably be number 10 or 11 on my list right now.

I really wish they'd make a point to get Mahomes as many snaps as possible this PS, because he shouldn't get any in the regular season - unless for some reason Andy thinks he can handle it or our season is in the tank.

I dunno about that- That sack wasn't even his blindside and he didnt even see the guy coming... it was one of the weirdest sacks I've ever seen.. the DE even let up on the dude.. in the regular season Mahomes is getting up off the field looking out his earhole-

he was rolling to his left looking in that direction. So traditional blind side no, but he was moving away from the pressure. That play literally just came on NFL network 2 minutes ago. You could see he knew that someone was behind him by the way he brought the ball up to his chest and crouched over.

No you didn't. You said specifically Trubisky looked more erratic and had less confidence than Mahomes. You meant what you said because you were comparing "shiny cars". And you meant that Alex Smith was a rookie as well in your statement then ?

Your actual quote: "Trubisky was pretty good, though he looked a lot more erratic and less confident than Mahomes. He made big plays and didn't screw up, though. Not much more you can expect from a rookie".

Really ? Show me the other dart to Robinson(vid clip) that was called back because of a penalty then. There wasn't. You were talking about his first pass overstating it because you don't have "real football eyes".

Your actual quote: "and one to Robinson (again, called back on a penalty)".

Now, who has no clue what they are talking about here ?

You're ****ing serious? You don't know how a QB can look more erratic and have less confidence than another QB while still making big plays and not screwing up?

Is that your hang up? It's either one or the other?

You sound like Sandy right now.

In the regular season Mahomes isn't standing behind an O-line made up of mostly guys that shouldn't be in the NFL.

Good point hombre, but I'll see that and raise

You are making a moot point and who cares? When Patrick plays with ones it's all going balance out and he will do just fine. I think he will recognize the level of competition and step it up for himself. That's kind of how it works with these guys.

And apparently all of these guys who won't make the roster suck. Big ****ing surprise.

#2. Let him play with some guys who will actually be on the goddamn team.

When you are listed 3rd string in 1st preseason game for now, this is the o-line you get and dont complain about it. He wont be listed on the depth chart 3rd for long. As cuts are made he will get a better mix of linemen.

Cuts arent made until after the final preseason game now. That just started this year.

If he's in with the starters, I think he'll find the open receivers. You don't. That's fine.

Why would we replace Smitty? He has won 22 of his last 26 regular season games
