Because of all the interest in this thread, I've place all of the video content of Patrick Mahomes II's college career, and draft day goodness into a single post that can be found here. Enjoy! [Reply]

Whats all this "sit and learn for 2 years" bullshit? If he cant be ready after one entire 16 game season, including all the practices, possibly playoffs and two preseasons then the kid doesn't deserve to be an NFL QB. Sit and learn for 2017, should be good to go for 2018. [Reply]

Really? I'm asking how they compare to the starter on this team. He's acting like it's a negative. I think they upgraded. It's relevant imo. I haven't said shit about Alex Smith in quite some time you fucking idiot [Reply]

Probably not a 1st, but could easily get a 2nd.
Franchises need to "stabilize the QB position." That's what I was told, anyway. [Reply]

He'll be his usual self in 2017, but we're certainly not going to see a dramatic improvement from last year unless he starts using his legs as a weapon again.
He's not going to do anything to make Dorsey say, "Now hold on... maybe we should keep him around another year..." If Mahomes is ready in one year, he's in, and Alex is getting his ass traded to offset the cost of trading up for our new QB.
Not trying to :-) but are you sure about what is in bold ? Let's be very clear here, Alex and the offense regressed all the way around last year because our o-line "did not progress" especially when our schedule was much tougher last year than year '15' when we ran the ball fairly well with West and Ware. Ware and West fell off IMHO because they are not elite backs and "need" either an easier schedule for our o-line or an elite o-line of which we do not have.
IF and this is a BIG IF our o-line really steps it up a few notches in both the pass and especially the run game, I can assure you because of the Mahomes pick Alex will be more trusting thus more aggressive in his play this year and probably more successful on a consistent basis especially IF we make it to the AFC championship game or SB. And if that's the case then Mahomes will sit 18 as well IMHO because how do you sit a QB that got you that far as well as Dorsey/Reid touting "see giving up 2-2nd rd picks was worth it" stroking their egos justifying bringing in AS. And didn't AS already say he would restructure his contract for the future ??
It really comes down to our o-ine stepping it up a few levels this year with even a tougher schedule than last year. Tall order for sure but who knows? But one thing for sure this is really the first year AS has ever had any competition that he will not face but "face indirectly" as a statement without being made that he can't get us to the promised land and this will be a chip on his shoulder for sure in 17 and why I think he gets more aggressive. But AS will only be as successful as the o-line allows him to be where Mahomes can compensate for that with his arm and athletic talent and this is the difference between AS and PMII. AS needs all cylinders hitting on offense were PMII does not IMHO.
Competition is always better even when you know you will be the starter all year especially in this situation(apart from injury of course) !!!:-) [Reply]

Alex has no options you fucking clown. The world is NOT his oyster, and he'd be lucky as all fuck to land a starting job elsewhere in the league.

Eat fuck pie.

No one. But Baby Lee needs a made-up scapegoat to soothe the pains of his anus after Reid and Dorsey rented the Goodyear Blimp and hired Alicia Keys to sing "Alex we don't love you no mo'" for the entire world to see.

I'm happy as fuck with the draft. What you miss is the enormous gulf of difference between your yammering for 'someone else' and the actual GM finding, targeting and acquiring his choice.
And yet you're still more focused on your sad sadistic imagined infliction of pain on other Chiefs fans instead of enjoyment of the entertainment the franchise exists to provide. [Reply]
Saw an interview where he was asked who he was looking forward to facing. He said Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. He wants to best the best. Smith would have thought "Brian Hoyer and Trevor Simian" [Reply]
We just moved up 17 spots in the first round to take a QB for the first time in 34 years and Alex is cheaper to cut in 2018 than he is to keep him. Facts, not fiction.
Yet we're going to keep Mahomes on the bench for "at least" two seasons?
