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]

I can understand liking him, but if you can't see past his faults then you are just lying to yourself.
And on the same note, Mahomes is the right QB at this point in time. Like Milkman said earlier...getting kicked to the curb is what happens in professional sports. The amount of draft capitol the Chiefs expended securing Alex a few years ago showed we were hitching our cart to that horse no matter what. Just like this year...Mahomes is the guy.

No one is rendering it valid because to you, it doesn't matter what they say. It's valid to yoi, you've decided it and that's all that matters.

Alex respects his coach and teammates too much to suddenly leave them hanging. He wants to give it one more go... despite objections from his wife.. who is being smarter than he about this.
So, one last hurrah... and then he's out. He knows it.. they know it. Of course they are going to make a strong push in getting their QBotF.
regardless of whether you accept this theory.. or are having too much fun jerking it to some fairy-tale that "poor job-needy Smiff is finally getting kicked to the curb cuz he's teh suxxorz"...
Makes no difference... so no point arguing it further.
Like many would agree to here, me included for the most part...
Smith was a very good addition in 2013 that helped add stability and 5 year respectability to a toilet-bowl AFCW wtf are they? team that no one really thinks about. Even if the GM and HC really think he can't be a part of getting them over that playoff hump? then fine... I accept that maybe they are right... and that's why they moved up like that for Mahomo.
So one more year for Smiff, at most.. and then the Mahomo parade goes into full effect! Whooooo!!!!! [Reply]

He could have told them in the middle of the season or after the season and would not have left anybody hanging so that's bullshit
Prove his wife is objecting to him playing another season and that she is smarter than him on the subject or that is bullshit as well
Prove that he his only playing one more season and the retiring or that is bullshit too
The only one jerking it to any fantasy is you from the looks of all this made up shit you are flinging at the wall [Reply]

Look, I think Alex is a good QB, specifically when it comes to being a game manager. But game managers don't win Super Bowls without an amazing defense and/or run game. Too many things have to go right for Smith to take a team any further than the divisional round.
But you do understand that most of the SB winners in this decade have won behind a top 5 defense. You know, one that doesn't rank in the bottom 10 in run defense. Right? Right? [Reply]
