His football takes must be taken with a grain of salt, he really doesn't know the game all that well...

Most of the QBs need work, but he needs the most work by far and I don't think he'll ever fix his mechanics especially not by 2018 when I want our drafted QB to start by.

Look I get it, but let me show you why I strongly believe he will be.......

That and the fact ( I know its was BIG 12) Mahomes hasn't thrown for less than 4,600 yard and 30+ TD's his whole starting career.

He has Sammy Watkins/ Tyreek Hill / Travis Kelce / Kareem Hunt....... He has never had target of this quality. Add the fact he has the leagues leading rusher... and a HC who is known for getting the most our of QB's in a QB Friendly system.....

I know it seems impossible, but the closest Andy Ried has ever had to this unit level of talent is when Mike Vick was starting. (AND EVEN THEN HE DIDN'T HAVE A TE with this level of talent)Get ready to see games that look like this.......

I think some of the low projections might be because of our schedule...

According to Warren Sharp we have the 5th hardest schedule and face the 2nd hardest defenses collectively. We face the fewest bottom 10 teams (2) and the most top 10 teams (6)...

Chargers have the 3rd easiest schedule. Raiders with the 5th. Texans with the easiest schedule, Watson will have a much easier time than Mahomes, so when Pat puts up similar or better numbers it'll be even more impressive.

Oh and the Patriots with the 2nd easiest schedule, Jags with the 4th...

The schedule really is rough this year. It's really the only thing that's preventing me from going full homer and saying Pat will put up 4,500 yards & 35 TDs in his first season.

If he gets this team to 10-6 or better and gets us to the playoffs again and puts up big time numbers against this schedule in his first season...Man.

Can't wait for this season

Good- if you want to be the best...you have to beat the best. We will roll into the playoffs having beaten the best defenses in the NFL.

The media just doesn't get it.

When we drafted Mahomes they said KC reached for an unready and raw prospect. He balls out in preseason and at Denver then in some of the 2017 mock redrafts they have Mahomes going in the top 6.

Now, they doubt our offense because they think Mahomes isn't ready.

They will find out soon.

It's all good , we fans that really follow the team know what's coming. Mahomes is going to light it up.

I think they will be better this year, at least I hope so. What we do know- the play won't be over when our QB is flushed out of the pocket like it was last year. Defenses won't be able to stack the line either. Mahomes will make the O line better with his skillset and pocket awareness.

And that, in turn, should open up the running game. It's not just about blocking.

You all make fair points. And I do realize the AS struggles and the Mahomes effect but our o-line needs to get some nastiness if we are going deep into the playoffs. We cannot run at will when needed. There are times when you have to run at will even if the box is stacked and we cannot do that is my point. Our running game did not stay elite last year because we lack nastiness in the trenches regardless if the box is stacked or not. The Mahomes effect will help no doubt BUT if you cannot run at will when needed it makes it easier to defend Mahomes & Co. especially in the red zone.

Our o-line is just okay IMHO.

Yep, AND if he played in a BIG market, the media would be on board as well.

It’s a shell game with the cap. You can’t put that many resources to one place is what makes it tough. Look at Dallas. All that capitol in the ol and other parts struggle. Gotta hit on some cheap labor somewhere.

And the chiefs ol helped the chiefs to a legitimate top 5 offense last year. It’s not the chiefs ol of 03, but realistically we probably won’t wver see that again

Please accept my sincerest apologies. I hope we can be friends and enjoy Mahomes ****ing steamrolling teams this year.

Thanks and sorry man, I admittedly am so on edge about Mahome's potential and I absolutely agree that I think he could legitimately dominate the league for a decade plus, it was probably the trauma of battered Chiefs syndrome getting the best of me and for whatever reason your post had such an air of certainty (to me I guess) that it made me flip out.

I wish people would refrain from Brady comparisons for at least a decade (I don't even like the prick, but his career is undeniable). People in general do not respect the GOATs and don't seem to comprehend what the greatest of all time truly means, Jordan comparisons piss me off more than anything (again a prick IMO, but undeniable greatness). Anyway, offseason blows and I'm not directing the GOAT stuff at you in particular, just ranting a bit. Cheers
