"Yeah, without a doubt. I feel like Patty Cakes can come in and roll the dice on anybody," Kelce told NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano and Brian Billick on Wednesday's Super Bowl Live. "He can throw the ball any way, he can throw it off his back foot and he can jump and throw, he can throw the ball anywhere, anyway you need for it to be thrown. His confidence is definitely one of the best attributes to his game."
Yes, but is Mahomes ready to seamlessly step in?
"That's where you kind of have to bite your tongue. He's still, like [Billick] was saying here, he's still arguably a rookie," Kelce said. "I'm not saying that I'm taking away from his ability by any means because if anyone can do it, it's Patrick Mahomes."
Mahomes was impressive during his lone rookie start, a 27-24 win over Denver in Week 17 that saw him pile up 284 yards off a string of impressive throws.
"When he played against the Broncos, I mean, he had a lot of footballs where he put it right on the money," Kelce told Eisen. "And in crucial times and in crucial moments. Like I said, it's going to be exciting to see where he can go with it. The expectation is definitely high." [Reply]

Imagine being kranz and scouring the internet for stuff to try and make your rival team look bad, but simply coming across as scared, stupid and pathetic :-) . imagine that being your life.
