“You have to be willing to lose games for your team, in order to win games for your team,” he said. “By that I mean, you have to be willing to take chances to make big plays, and you might make more mistakes than he makes, because he does a great job protecting the football. But you have to believe, ‘I’m going to make more big plays that are game-changing type plays, that can help us win against the best teams in the league.’ Especially come playoff time.
“Alex has the ability to do that. I see him do that. But he plays more of a game manager role, instead of saying, ‘It’s going through my right arm.’

I will agree with all of this.
The remaining shred of hope I have is that reflecting back on this past season... along with other moments in big games of the past.. Alex will step into 2017 with this attitude.
Maybe he will... maybe it will be the case of can't change a leopard's spots. If he's going to be the starting QB for KC in 2017, I may as well retain that shred of hope that he will take that quote to heart. Doesn't cost me anything to do that.. and I will still hope for the added QBotF regardless.
