You can predict a 30% drop off in production all you want but I will never doubt Mahomes or underestimate him again. Your prediction looks even worse when you factor in (hypothetically) that the new defense is going to get off the field more, giving the Offense more chances to score. So it turns into a 40% less production year for Mahomes. Not going to happen. |

When I said 35 TDs, I was being extremely conservative. He might throw 40 or even a few more. Even if he "only" threw 35, again that would likely lead the league many years. If the defense improves, he's not going to throw 50 again. That's the point. |

Well, it's a pretty high risk, ballsy plan. You basically gut the only strength there was on defense. You just have to make sure you're replacing it; and I think you can, but there are a lot of moving parts and you have to get it right. Although I would argue that planning on Dee Ford, Justin Houston, and Eric Berry to all be healthy and play up to their contracts is pretty foolish. AND Houston doesn't really have a position in base that is a fit for his salary due to the responsibilities of a SAM. Berry's probably played his last meaningful football. And Ford is an injury risk and a liability against the run. |

When other QB's have gone for 45 plus, they've blown people out.
The Chiefs could do that next year if the defense improves, but i'd think if he's somewhere around 35 40 that's an awesome eyar. People don't quite realize how unreal this season of 5k and 50 tds were. |

After that, the likes of Schwartz, Fisher, Kelce (Watkins gone in two years) could be declining and that's when Mahomes might slow down some seasons. |

Mahomes threw 4 Td's in 5 games with only New England being a shootout. So his production was not directly related to being in a shootout situation. We also have a very tough schedule again- so even if the defense does improve, it will have to become dominant for us to be able to coast to wins all year. |

back to defense-and I'm not sure what the plan is...but-
If you cut Houston...well, I think you have to. Right? I mean it doesn't make sense not to. And you tag Ford to play him. You're keeping one of your premier pass rushers. You're transferring most of Houston's salary to Ford, essentially, with like $4 million left over. You need a SAM, you need a veteran safety. You really should have an older veteran type DE for depth and rotational purposes. You need at least one CB. You need to draft CB's, a S, and an Edge/DE. A corner may need to be a day one starter. |

I like him better than Ford as I think he's a much more complete player, but I don't see how it happens. |
