Prediction time: When will Mahomes take over for Smith?

[jaa1025]

The likely organizational plan is/was for Mahomes to take over next season and cut/trade Smith to recoup some needed draft picks and cap relief.

I think, Mahomes has not only shocked the Chiefs fans with his play but has also shocked the staff. Because of this, Veech made a crafted statement about how far ahead Smith was of Mahomes. They don't want to rock the boat yet, but they know as we know. If Mahomes didn't show that he is ready then the Chiefs don't make the comment, because it's not needed.

I think the time table will be moved up and Mahomes will take over for Smith during the season...for good.

The Chiefs weren't going to start Mahomes vs the Pats because of there defense nor do I think they start him early in the season. Unless this team is 7-3 or better going into the Bills game, that is when Mahomes is taking over. It is a home game against a bad team. Then they play the Jets at NY after. This will give him 2 games against bad teams before a home games against the Raiders, Dophins and at the Broncos. Of course, this could all change with injuries...and it might be another concussion/non concussion situation to start this and see how he handles it.



In before the "this post belongs in the other Mahomes threads"-----There can never be enough Mahomes threads on this forum.

Edit: Added Poll, hindsight 20/20 I should have combined injury or waiting to start until 2020 because that's essentially the same.

Because Smith has a great year he's given a 3 year extension at a reasonable salary, 15mil/year. Mahomes won't be making a huge salary for 5 more years.

Smith gets the nod for 2018 and because he has his extension and a ****it attitude he regresses back to his old form .

Mahommes takes over 2nd half 2018 or 2019 during which time Smith could get traded.

Stick to jerking off pigs

I'll go with Alex injury or a lopsided game. (hopefully Chiefs are up not down)

Remember that movie "We are Marshall" where the football team died in a plane crash?

I wish Alex would 'Marshall'.

Anyone care to adjust their prediction?

If Alex continues to play like he did vs the Patriots it would take an injury to start Mahomes this season. I can see him coming in in garbage time if we continue like the Patsies game. IF and it's a big if, Alex wins us a Superbowl we may not see Mahomes on a regular basis 'til 2019. Which I'm fine with as long as ALex continues to produce.

Sticking with week 10.

1 game out of 13 years of football doesn't change my opinion.

This year if Smith gets injured; otherwise the beginning of next year.

I probably need to re-adjust my prediction after seeing a couple of weeks of games.

Obviously missed on the Pats.
After 2 games, I don't see the upset game happening in the next 3 weeks with the Bolts, Skins, and Texans.
Steelers and Raiders on a short week road game still going to be tough.
Cowboys and G-men not real impressive yet.

Mahomes maybe gets a late season start like Daniel did against the Chargers a couple of times.

I would like to know at some point how Mahomes is progressing in the film room.

There are no signs as yet that Smith's play has degraded over last year. Smith would have to completely collapse in Ryan Leaf fashion to lose the job, barring injury.

Yet there are signs that Smith's play has upgraded over the past few seasons. I love it but I'm also skeptical. Will he keep this up all season? Or will he revert back to his old ways?

Alex will win back to back Super Bowls and retire. Then Mahomes will takeover and win back to back Super Bowls. Everybody wins!
