That article says nothing of mahomes starting the play off game, it says if Alex Struggles in the play off game, then maybe Reid would have to go there.

Clowm crew level dumb

I don't know... never say never... I could see some nutcase from here going full Tonya Harding on Alex.

Idiot.

Not going to happen. Andy isn't pushing all of his chips in with a small pair when he has 40 big blinds left.

He is under zero pressure, zip, none.

But if he put Mahomes in the playoff game, he would be triggering that pressure.

I don't think there's any precedent for that in the history of the NFL. In that situation, the safe play is just to let Alex Smith go down in flames and have all the reasons to start Mahomes in training camp next year.

If Reid put Mahomes in and the Ravens chewed him up, Reid would be slaughtered. No way he puts him in for his first meaningful action in a playoff game against a top 5 defense.

Royals threw Mondesi to the wolves in the World Series.

I wish someone would go Tanya Harding on your skull.

Slightly derivative but Alex Smith and the 2012 San Francisco 49ers say hello.

Kap started 7 games that year. That's almost half a season. Not even close to the same.

Yeah but he had one meaningless AB. It's not like they put him at leadoff and put the success of the offense on him.

Even if Mahomes goes out and balls for a line of 30-35, 400, 5TDs against Denver he will not see any time unless Smith is injured. Regardless of the score in the playoff game, Mahomes isn't playing.

**** yeah they should.

Get that guy some playoff experience.

This team isn't beating NE or PIT in their yard.


(realistically that would never happen) BUT...we'd all love it, admit it.

Kelce and Hill's numbers are going to increase next year, as good of seasons both of them are having, Mahomes is going to look at Kelce 30x a game. No reason why he shouldn't.

No more of this 1-2yd dink n dunk shit.

Zero chance this happens unless Alex gets hurt

Yep. I posed this same question and scenario yesterday.

Let's say Mahomes has a great day and just lights up the Denver D. Our first or any playoff game AS is just stinking it up to high heaven and it is clear he ain't got it that day PERIOD. And we are behind anywhere from 17-21 pts by halftime or early 3rd quarter. If you are the coach knowing AS isn't coming back next year do you make that QB change to MyHomie 2 to spark the O?
