Not gonna say much.. just going to drop this video here so you can check this guy out if you hadn't. I hadn't until today, and I really like his raw ability.
#1 thing that sticks out to me is he can really evade rushers and chuck it on the run. Amazing raw arm talent.
As long as Reid is calling plays, we need a QB who can make up for his conservative ways. Save your comments about how the Chiefs will never take a QB, because that's bullsh*t. If they find the right one, they will. I think this could be him.

That would mean our 1st, 2nd and 3rd would still not be enough. The Bills pick at 10. I'm not sure that they would be willing to pass on a quarterback but maybe they would be willing to take Alex Smith in the trade? I would package Alex Smith and our first to move up for him if Dorsey and Reid think he's the guy. Hand the Reigns to Foles for a year. If we take a step back, we take a step back. It would be so worth it if he pans out. Plus, we still have all the rest of our draft picks. Who knows if the Bills would make that trade, but you never know. Cleveland traded the number 2 away last year instead of drafting Wentz. And the Bills would be getting a starting quarterback to stabilize the position like KC did when they got him. I seriously doubt this would ever happen. But a guy can dream.

Due to his ability to evade rushers and throw on the run both directions, some are saying he has a ceiling that compares to Aaron Rodgers. But, with this unorthodox style, comes a very low floor.
I say let him sit for a year maybe.
You were all over him.
Heard the Chiefs were on him from the 3rd game of the season & on.

Did you have some inside info?

Didn't have any inside info. Well, not until about 10 days before the draft when I was told they were looking to trade up for Mahomes or McCaffrey. [Reply]

I think the Chiefs fans will love him and so will the players on the team. This is no Jay Cutler type of personality.
Y'all can take this as Gospel from those of us who've been around the young man. As incredible as it sounds, there is simply nothing not to like.

And they traded a bunch of picks for nothing to get him, on a team that needs so much after they paid so much for a QB. If Glennon looked like crap they could take a QB in next year's draft. Just a total failure all around. [Reply]

You can have your middling draft prospect. That's fine.
If the Chiefs pass on a R1 QB in 2018 - and the class is going to be ****ing LLLLLLLLLOADED LOADED - because they have checkdown syndrome and mahomes on the roster, they deserve another 15 years of playoff futility.
