Mahomes And Other Starters To Sit Out

Patrick out Sunday.. Not sure about Kelce and 1000 yds.. According to Andy’s Presser..

Does Kelce have a 1000 yard bonus? If not ****ing awful to let him play, at all.

And a new QB2 for Sunday…

This.

If he wanted that 1k he could have gotten open before the final week of the season...

IIRC, Kelce fumble ****ed a 20 yard TD pass that hit him in the hands a couple of weeks ago....

Heard this on the radio yesterday; the Chiefs can essentially create their own bye for the starters while every potential first round opponent has something to play for and cannot rest their starters. And we all know Andy's record after a bye.

I don't think there are any bonuses tied to it, but it's definitely a stat that people will talk about in his HOF induction year. I know there's a little risk involved, but I wouldn't mind putting him out there for a drive and force-feeding him the ball until he gets 16 yards. Players care about that stuff, and letting him get it is part of how Andy gains so much respect.

Playoff Patrick will burst forth from the Fortress of Solitude next week.

Yeah, I'd do what the player wants in these situations. It's a game and people want to unlock accomplishments.

(yeah I'm old, lol)

(and this is a job for someone with photoshop skills)

Rice is close too.. Should he play or should his spot go to a struggling WR??? Pick anyone..

I'd play him. He's still a rookie that's still learning this offense - and unlike the other ass WR's he seems to be capable of learning it...

I would think he would benefit from a “bye” too. Maybe only a few plays.. 5 or 6 at most..

I think in general I'd treat it like a preseason game. Starters (aside from Mahomes) get a drive or two, but that's it.
