Keep in mind, this year is his Senior year in college, making next year his rookie season. He'll have a nice head start on the 2018 QB draftees but he's also behind developmentally than the projected top three QB's because they all play under center in a pro style offense. Mahomes will need to learn to throw out of a 3, 5 or 7 step drop as well. I'm super high on him and have been since last Fall. But I'd much rather see him learn, like Aaron Rodgers did because if they rush him, there's a good chance he'll be overwhelmed. Look no further than Kaepernick. He entered the 2012 season at the midway point, kicked ass, then has regressed each season to the point where he doesn't even have a job at age 29, which should be his prime. Even though I didn't constantly post negative thoughts about Alex Smith on a daily or hourly basis didn't mean that I wasn't just as frustrated at you or other Chiefs fans. We've seen this movie before and as much as I'd like to see Mahomes put in a Dak Prescott like rookie season, I think that's highly unlikely. So with in mind, I think the Chiefs will take as much time as possible with his development so that he has a seamless transition and is ready to lead the team well beyond the first round of the playoffs. IMO, that happens somewhere past his 24th game as a pro and may not even occur until 2019. But regardless, I think they're looking 10-15 years down the road, not 1 or 2. |

He definitely didn't say he thinks Mahomes is multiple years from starting. But you're a ****ing dipshit, so I don't know why I responded. |

If he leads the team to the AFC Championship game, he will definitely be the starter in 2018. If they fail to win in the playoffs because the offense can't score more than 16 points, then I think he'll likely be in competition for the starting gig in 2018 with Mahomes and it wouldn't surprise me to see Smith win, then lose the gig mid-season. If Smith puts in a 2016 type of season, I think they'll move in from him but bring in a veteran (Chase Daniel?) to compete with Mahomes for the starting job. But I think it's clear that Smith understands the gravity of the situation, which will likely bring out his best. Whether that's enough to hold off Mahomes in 2018 is the big question and I don't think anyone will be able to answer that until after the 2017 season, along with the development of Mahomes. |

More posturing from a useless Smith lackey. Make no mistake: this is the last season for Smith as a Chief, and Mahomes WILL be starting in 2018. Dipshit can fantasize all season long if it helps him deal with the pain of watching his useless boo get another "Kap" in his ass.

Why are we arguing this like it's an exact science? Everyone is different and develops at their own rate. Mahomes could start this season, he may not. Whenever Reid decides that he's ready is all that matters. What we think doesn't make a bit of difference.

Mahomes is already listed as primary backup, which is where he will stay. It's because he gets reps that way that actually game prepares him. If Alex goes down, I think Bray steps in and 2pm continues to play backup, learning and getting valuable preparation reps.

Gruden was talking about Mahomes possibly taking a year to be ready, but that Alex might keep him on the bench for much longer, depending on his play.
If Alex has a career year in 2017 and wins another playoff game or 2, he will stay the starter. If he continues to regress, there's no way they pay him in 2018. |

Reid has already stated that Bray is the #2.
