It’s official.

Rookie first-rounder Patrick Mahomes will start for the Chiefs against the Broncos this Sunday in Denver. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid announced the move during his usual Wednesday press conference.

“Every snap that he gets is a valuable snap for him whenever he has that chance of getting in there,” Reid said. “It’s invaluable and fortunately, we’re in a situation we can do that.”

The Chiefs are locked into the No. 4 seed on the AFC side of the postseason regardless of Sunday’s game outcome.

Reid added that Alex Smith will take the scout team reps this week.

“Fortunately we have a quarterback that understands it,” Reid said. “[Smith] is having a phenomenal year. It’s an MVP-caliber year, so he understands the situation and this won’t detour off of anything he’s doing the remainder of the season.”

Though Mahomes has yet to play, Reid said the season has given him an opportunity to get to know him, and Reid confirmed Wednesday all the scouting reports checked out.

“You hear what he’s all about but until the player is there, you really don’t know, I’m saying as a person,” he said. “He’s everything everybody said he was, a great person—works hard, loves playing—all those things, we’ve seen. Obviously, he hasn’t played in the game other than the preseason, but he’s done a great job of the other stuff.”

That changes Sunday.

I'm excited (as long as they sit Hunt).

Same. The other QB product makes Chiefs games unwatchable.

True Story.

I guess there is no wrong or right but interesting other coaches taking same approach as Reid whilst others are not.

I think the Jags situation is a little different as you have an opportunity to knock out a divisional rival. If the Chiefs Broncos were a play-off decided for the Donkeys I'd probably want to knock them out.

Yes, in SD you must watch the beach temps. Cause you don't want to be George on Black's Beach. Walking off a cliff for a looksie requires warm air.

He might throw picks at the start of his career, but I'll be damned with Tyreek Hill isn't a 1,600 Yard receiver with this guys ability to out throw the coverage!

Different situation from us, Jax played like shit last week. They need to get some rhythm. Getting it against a rival and knocking them out is just icing on the cake.

Yes, I'm thinking that the dump passes will suddenly be effective if PMll ever goes to them.

I want to see the video clips of announcers going nuts when they throw the long balls.

We may need to get another defense to put in every other series. I'ts going to be brutal on them not being able to squash the run.
The points will be high and the time of possession very low unless controlled. Such a great problem to have to deal with.

They have watched the pre-season tapes. If they are playing to win, Denver is going to move the safety over to help cover Robinson on those deep routes.

The jags just played like shit. That's the reason.
