If we don't make the playoffs next year, there will be the usual homers who will pine for the days of the "great" Alex Smith, and there will be noise from the talking head naysaysers about the wisdom of letting the "best" quarterback the Chiefs had in a generation go for an unproven gunslinger.

We gotta get through that shit. We gotta stick with the plan we've all been praying for...drafting and developing our own star QB. We have to give him time. I think we will. I know I will. Just think of Mahomes as your own son, watch him learn and be patient and believe in his abilities. In other words, detach from the imperative of winning and enjoy the ride. I believe the winning will come. The future is brighter than it's been in a very long time. We need to all believe in that.

I don’t know why more people don’t see this is a legitimate possibility.

Hill/Kelce/Conley and Hunt/Ware with a possible upgrade at LG?

No reason to think it can’t happen when young QB’s exceed early expectations every year.

ROFLROFLROFL First of all, if that is even remotely true, it is by ****ing default. 1-4 in the playoffs. Ahhhh, the good old days.. Idiots..

You don't think Mahomes can go 1-4 in 5 playoff games or better?

At the need of the day, who gives a **** if you win 10-13 games in the reg season, if your team is a ball-less sack of shit in the Playoffs? We need a QB with a large set of onions under Center. If Pat isn't that guy, then we'll go find the next one. All I know is that Alex was NOT that guy. Nice guy, good QB, great year, no balls. See ya.

Bill Kenney, Steve DeBerg and Dave Krieg were 1-4 in the playoffs from 1986-1992.

The Chiefs went 10-6, 11-5, 10-6, and 10-6 in those seasons.

In those seasons they had one top 10 passing season and averaged 20 passing TDs per year.

That's EXACTLY what Alex has done in KC. 10 wins per year, 20.6 passing TDs per year, one top 10 passing season.

Alex Smith is just those same QBs with an albatross contract, because now even average QBs get stupid long-term deals due to the watering down of the position and the passing game.

Marty's Chiefs needed an elite talent at the QB position to have playoff success, and so do Reid's. But at least this time he's not ****ing 37.

Are you insinuating that Mahomes is already elite?

Lol here we go Mr. passive aggresive.

Just say it, you think Mahomes is going to struggle. That’s fine, I just want you to say it so I could make you eat crow down the line.

Look, Asshat... I think he's going to do really well, actually. I was speaking about the fanbase and what happens if he comes in and he's not the savior right out of the gate.

You should just ignore me for a while, you're triggered.

Again, all he has to do is win ONE playoff game in a five year period to match Alex, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!
