The question then becomes: what is the upside? What is the value of a strong-armed passer who can’t throw deep or take advantage of the velocity he creates on shorter throws. The inevitable comparisons to Colin Kaepernick or Tyrod Taylor will be used but both Taylor and Kaepernick show off more discipline with their feet and better accuracy. Both are better decision makers who break down coverages faster too.
You have to have a vision with a quarterback that you draft. Drafting Mahomes means drafting someone who needs years of work that history tells us won’t work. It apparently also means investing a first-round pick.
Too bad Andy didn't read this "analysis" it would have saved us two 1st rounders and a third. We are screwed. Probably should just cut him now. According to this guy, it is hopeless. We drafted the dumber version of Tyrod Taylor. Time to extend Alex for 8 more years to play it safe.
