I don't really have a problem with Fisher and LTD's contracts. They are what they are, Fisher is a little disapppointing as far as the draft capital we invested but his contract doesn't really bother me. I think the Chiefs deserve a lot of credit for the success they have had taking late round guys and turning them into legit NFL starters. LTD was a nice find, and while you may not like what we have to pay him now, you also have to account for the fact that besides his contract we only invested a 5th rounder in that guy. That success story allowed us to use higher pick on other positions. Now we are doing it with McKenzie and Boettger. If we hit on one of those its a huge success and only helps to rebuild that much quicker.
In addition to what a dude's cap number is, its just as important to under stand how all these contracts are slotted. If you look at the Chiefs OL contracts, its clear as day that we are nearing the day when we are going to have to invest in the oline with a high draft pick. I would rather spend one of ou two 2nd round picks on a olinemen next year than putting it off and be forced to use a first rounder in 2020. The Chiefs Oline isn't sexy, but for what we are paying in contract and what we have invested in draft picks, its actually pretty damn good in regards to that level of investment. With a franchise QB now in house, it only makes sense to spend draft capital (like 2,3,4 round picks) on the oline than trying to address it in free agency. Fisher, Schwartz and LTD are the core, hopefully Mackinze or Boettger are diamonds in the rough, but I think we are going to need to draft a legit center next year. Frankly I would have loved to have gotten James Daniels in the 2nd round this year. We would have been set.

One play doesn't make him good. Chiefs really struggled running in the A gaps the entire game. Best running plays were actually in the C gap to Schwartz's side. I will say, he's been better this year overall though, but that better has mostly been in pass pro. I'm surprised so far that he hasn't been the turnstile he's been for years. We'll see how it goes though.

I think his lack of success thus far has been more about defenses looking to neutralize him, and a big part of Mahomes success is the fact he's recognizing this and adjusting his formation to take advantage of matchups created by this. |

The only team that I think can go heads up with us is Jax. Minnesota and Phillys front 7 are good but their secondaries can be exposed by our guys imo and LAR doesn't have the LBs or safeties to handle Kelce and Hunt. Mexico City should be a fun one. |

Like you mentioned he's become very active in pre-snap adjustments, I'd say he's doing it at the same frequency as Alex did (which has always been considered one of his biggest strengths) and it's only his 3rd start. I have no clue what his ceiling is at this point. Like I know people say shit like "limitless potential", but seriously the kid has 10 TDs in 2 games against two of our most vital opponents. Especially with him being in this offense, the O/U for his TD total has to be like 46 right? Is that too cautious? His TD% is currently 18.2% which is more than twice Carson Wentz's last year (7.5%) when he was coasting to a MVP. I know, sample size and all that but **** that's wild. |
