Again....what did you expect was going to happen?
That he would play with his childhood friend. I think he knew he was choosing the money. But probably did not realize they would kick Carr to the curb for a worse QB situation.
But you also had a toxic situation with Aaron and the Packers going on. That relationship was pretty well over when he left. He wanted a long term deal. Aaron was not going to be there long term. Sure he could have played with a super bowl contender for less money or stayed with the Packers and knowing Aaron was going to leave in a year or 2 tops. [Reply]

More than leaving Rodgers, he chose to leave one of the most stable franchises in sports, for a dumpster fire organization.
The "Carr is my buddy" stuff was good cover for taking the max money. He took the money, then sulked.
"I've gotta get out of here" stuff played awful shitty on the Receiver show. It was a class NBA move. [Reply]

Packers offered the same money. So it was about being closer to family not being stuck in Green Bay for the winter. Which I can't blame him. [Reply]

11 games to go I think he easily surpasses 500 yard with KC. Probably closer to 700.
Question for me is how heavily we want to use him right away. I’m as eager as anyone to give Mahomes the extra weapon but there’s a part of me that also feels like if we keep winning and create separation as #1 seed, we are in a unique position to load manage the hell out of Hopkins to make sure he’s fresh for the playoff run.
But for the playoff run I think we’ll see some very big games [Reply]

And yet halfway in that season he was wanting out already? [Reply]

And LT is the most important spot on the offensive line.
Mahomes also doesn't need a third ankle injury because the LT shouldn't be out there. Mahomes does need time to throw the football and go through his progressions.
But, sure, let's stop trying to get it right since we already failed so many times. Yep. That's smart.
Say it with me.
Donovan. Smith. Blows. Goats.
There is ZERO point to bringing in Donovan Smith other than injury to Morris. [Reply]

I love watching Mahomes scramble for those 1st downs on 3rd downs but hopefully having someone he trusts to let it fly to will save him a few hits that he doesn't have to take now [Reply]
