Here’s why you don’t start Mahomes

[In58men]

First of all, our schedule is very easy from here on out. We have 6 games left with four of them being home games. As much as it pains me to say this, Alex very well could get it together and we’ll have a shot at getting some value for him. We bench him now, we won’t get shit, period. Let him pad those stats baby!!!!!

Mahomes has no chemistry with the first team players, he needs a full off-season to mesh with those guys. If he starts or sits, either way we have no chance at a Super Bowl run. This defense is atrocious. If Mahomes lays an egg (which is highly likely) it’ll just knock his confidence down. There’s no reason to risk an injury on a player when this team isn’t going anywhere with or without him playing. Last thing we need is for him to come in and get concussed. Be smart, put the beer down and calm the **** down. The remaining schedule should be a breeze for Smitty to rack up some decent stats.

I love you all and it’ll all be okay!!!!

You are still focused on the wrong things. Dumbass.

Do you think I give a **** about Smith? Read through the thread before you open your mouth, idiot.

Negged again just because you are a pussy.

I’m sure playing 5 to 6 games with 6 months off will make a crazy significant impact for next August . Please stop fam.

Good god I am so thankful you are not the GM of the Chiefs.

Its almost half a ****ing season you dolt.

If you dont think 5 games of preparing as the number 1, practicing with the ones, playing on Sunday, and correcting his mistakes will help progress him to be ready for 2018, then you are as big a cuck as alex smith.

And I will also say, he probably gives this team a better shot to win playoff games this year than 11 does.

Ok, yes. This is a quality rebuttal with merit to it. I enjoy debating these topics but notice that after pg 8 or so the discussion in every thread on this board becomes grown men hurling insults at each other like 6th graders who can't convince each other to change their favorite player "Gronk's the best stupid," "No! JJ Watt is the GOAT moron!"

...anyways, I digress...I'm not sure that next year is the year we can actually make a run at a Super Bowl. I'm of the thought process that Mahomes will need at least a full Rookie year, then in year 2, or much more likely year 3, he could get this team to that level. I think most outside of KC would hear me say that and dismiss my projection because it wasn't conservative enough. That being said, I think there's a strong argument that another 2nd RD pick would be more advantageous than Mahomes getting 6 games this season.

I'm not saying he should start but you don't think six games of experience would help a rookie prep in the off-season? On that point alone, you're wrong.

Given how much the rest of the division sucks, he'd probably get his first playoff start as well.

Which is a great thing... QB playoff experience is a big deal, so to get that his rookie year would be awesome.

No point in getting to upset with what happens any more this season. We all know how this story will end. I do know I'm getting ****ing hammered the day Alex is released.

I think what you do is start giving Mahomes a few reps (or extra reps) in practice with the first team. Send a message to Smith that he is on the clock. He can't get comfortable. And, Mahomes is that much closer to being ready, if needed. DJ has accepted his new reality and everyone else is accountable. Reid is too soft on these guys.

No I think you are a ****ing moron for being concerned with getting a draft pick for Smith so much you dont want Mahomes to play this year. And thats really just a load of shit, the fact is you are just a Smith nut hugger which makes you an even bigger moron.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I never said I did not want Mahomes to play this year so we could get a draft pick for Smitty. You are trying to put words into my mouth..

I've been very consistent with what I've said. I said I think Smitty has played well enough to continue to start and I showed the stats to back it up. But I also mentioned I trust Reid when it comes to making decisions about our QB. He's got a proven track record in that department.

You guys are the ones constantly whining about Mahomes starting. I could careless. If he does great, if he doesn't I'm okay with that too. It's up to Reid. Not a bunch of armchair HCs who think they know better than Reid because they are good at fantasy football.

Regardless, only an idiot would say he could careless if we get anything for Smitty. You don't just cut a QB who is putting up the numbers he is. You want to get something in return. That's a smart GM move. You never know what type of player a draft pick can land you. Pats got Brady in the 6th round.

Happy Thanksgiving.

He’s a moron for wanting a draft pick? I think you’re the ****ing moron, why would you pass up the possibility? You don’t make any ****ing sense. This is why we’re always mediocre.
