This isn’t about CBs or posting but The Athletic has posted a couple of good articles about how Mahomes and Reid are a good yin/yang. Second article is here:

Intro to article:
Whenever you hear even the most optimistic people talk about Patrick Mahomes, it’s typically followed by a “but” of some sort. A couple of those “buts” are far more common than any other. They are as follows:
“He’s got all the talent in the world, but he’s going to be starting for the first time.”
“I love his (insert something positive about Mahomes here), but he takes some risks with the ball that make me nervous. I’m afraid he’ll throw a bunch of picks.”
Those two things are the potential fly in the ointment of a 2018 season that is shaping up to be the most interesting in, hmm, maybe decades. Mahomes’ lack of experience as a starter casts doubt as to whether he can jump in and play well immediately. Additionally, his tendency to trust his arm to make any throw — perhaps even to an unwise extent — is definitely something that strikes fear in a fan base that has grown used to seeing very few interceptions thrown over the past five years.
These are perfectly rational issues to be concerned about. But here’s the thing: Those two issues are things that a certain kind of coach can work around. And Mahomes happens to be playing for arguably the best coach in the business in terms of setting up quarterbacks for success
I got a subscription to theathletic and it’s worth the money so far. More in depth KC coverage than I’ve seen elsewhere without being mindless homerism that infects Arrowhead Pride.
