Mahomes is one of the most physically talented quarterbacks I have ever seen. With that being said, I believe that he will struggle becoming an NFL quarterback. He has a mindset that he has to throw deep and it drove Kilff crazy. To those of you who are saying he didn't have any talent around him, this is both true and false as Tech has a good receiving core. I have a friend who is playing for Texas Tech and the main thing that Texas Tech recruits is wide receivers who run a 4.4 40. Heck, Tech had 11 receivers on scholarship last year. So yeah, they are loaded at wide receiver. In the past their offensive line has been good, but last year it was slightly below average. I'm not going to even go into the defense as it is the worst I have ever seen.
Like I said earlier Mahomes is going to struggle. He has all of the tools needed, but he is addicted to the big plays and it will cause plenty of interceptions. With that being said, I hope he succeeds, and this is coming from a Bronco fan. He is entertaining to watch and I hope his game translates to the NFL as it would be good for Tech. |

Jakeem was the fastest player on the team then, so he was definitely missed as he fit perfectly into tech's offense Last edited by TexasTechAlumni; 05-08-2017 at 12:11 AM.. |

Honestly, Tyreek might be the perfect wide receiver for Mahomes as they can try and incorporate some of tech's offense in the beginning to try and keep Mahomes comfortable. That is if Mahomes plays next year

I don't see an "if" about it. He will be starting by next year "if" not sooner. I think mid~season Alex Smith maybe falling apart and they may ease Patrick in some plays and then by last four games he could be starting. That's not a big if just a good possibility. I'm stoked anyways we finally got a guy I can root for and be happy with even if he struggles at first that is normal just watch the kid get better and progress into a super star. Time is on our side yes it is.

The only way I see Mahomes starting is if he had a good preseason and the Chiefs are out of or close to being out of the playoffs. That or if Smith gets injured. Although, I do hope you are right as Mahomes would be more entertaining than Smith. Last edited by TexasTechAlumni; 05-08-2017 at 12:40 AM.. |

Dee Ford has been coming a long nicely but he still isn't consistent. We have a harder schedule with four prime time games and last year we got ass raped in Pittsburgh in prime time. We can of course still make the playoffs but this is going be a tall order to fulfill. |

Another thing on the playoffs is it burnt the team and I think the team is all ready to bail on Alex Smith as if he can't get the job done. So if the offense struggles and Patrick does all the right things we defiantly could see him get in some games and potentially start this season. I'm more optimistic to see Patrick Mahomes II take over the reins after mid~season than I am the Chiefs making the playoffs with Alex Smith just to be one and done.
