Assuming this poll is for the 2nd spot right out of camp. I think Bray wins it unless he gets injured, which is always a possibility. I don't necessarily think that necessarily means he will remain the #2 QB throughout the season but out of camp, I do think that's the case.

Now I think you have good points and I think it should be Bray to start the season as backup but during the season that could change. On an even keel I think Patrick would surpass Bray but I don't think it will be an even keel as Bray has a leg up and coaches want to sit Patrick anyways. |

They're gonna need to put some weights around Mahomes ankles in training camp and teach him not to panic at the first sign of pressure- He's got horrible feet- throws off his back foot to much- He needs to learn to step into his throws- That game against TCU is a good example-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNB1ClZnskk The NFL aint the Big 12- If he thinks he can play sand lot football like he did in college in the NFL, he wont last 3 years- |

I think it boils down to how fast PMII picks up the playbook. If he shows he can absorb most of the playbook pretty quickly then he's gonna be #2, if it takes him2-3 years like Bray then they stick with Bray. They aren't gonna trot him out there if all he knows is a couple running plays and 3-4 pass plays.

It's not even a real fair contest Bray will get more reps in practice as the incumbent #2 but Patrick Mahomes II is up for the challenge. At this point and judging by the votes it could go either way it looks like it can be close contest and that is good for all parties they can push each other to be better than they would be otherwise. Even Alex Smith will have to push himself so he isn't embarrassed that the other two can outplay him. |

Mahomes should be the backup so he can really develop in practice by taking reps on the scout team. The best way for Mahomes to learn is to actually play and go through his development in real time, then repeat it every day. He isn't going to learn anything standing at practice and watching everyone else.
We should also want Mahomes to be the backup because of what it means to Alex. I want Alex to know his job is on the line at all times and that he needs to play well consistently if he wants to keep the starting role. Does anyone really think Alex would feel the slightest bit of pressure to perform if Bray is the backup? |

It depends on what Mahomes needs.
If he needs snaps, he will get more as #3 running the scout team even though it won't be with the Chiefs plays. If he needs to learn to read defenses & grasp Chiefs playbook nuances under pressure, he is better off as #2 doing clipboard duties on game day even though he will have fewer practice snaps. (And I mean the playbook under pressure not the clipboard holder.) My best guess is they will want him getting snaps handling the ball under center & doing drops. So Bray 2 & Mahomes 3 is my guess. |

This is not a bad idea at all He needs to study the likes of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers and not so much learn from Alex Smith. |

When push comes to shove, if they need a #2 QB on the field, though, I think they'll give Mahomes the reps.

Reid will go with Bray. Impossible to say at this point if that's the best move, but that's my best guess on what Andy Reid will do.

I'm not in the camp that believes Alex is guaranteed a full a season. My prediction: Bray will hold the #2 duties until Pre-season week 3. Then Mahomes will get a chance with the 2's. Mahomes HAS to win #2 duties so he can dress on Sundays, even if he hasn't surpassed Bray. This is a foregone conclusion. How often does our 3rd string QB dress on Sundays? If Smith regress, playoff contention or not, Mahomes will get the nod late in the season to ignite the offense.
