Don't even need an Alex Smith. A journeyman like Chad Henne is a good enough placeholder, as long as you have a coach/GM who have the full confidence of the owner to stay the course and not put a guy in too early.

As does many organizations and why they will trend to attempt to put themselves in a luxury position for when that time occurs for changing of the guard. What you really can't know or count on is a decent starting QB who is willing to tutor or that rookie QB that is willing to be a sponge(student of the game) because he truly loves the game with both giving you lip service prior.

I would say better..I mean..
Hard to argue that we could be in a better spot right now. If anything, starting him last year could've been a huge error somehow

I just wish they would have had Alex pretend an injury and come out of the Titans game for a few plays to see if Mahomey could have brought us back.

23 people voted worse in the long term. I can't figure out how they can say that. At worst, it's a wash long term. I mean, how how does anyone think that a year on the bench hurt this team in the long term? There are really only 2 options better long term and short term or worse short term but better long term.

Either way it worked out. Mahomes had an unbelievable year and we got Fuller and some picks for Alex. You can talk hypothetical situations all you want that we'd done this or that w Mahomes last season but you don't know for sure. |

You're right. Mahomes learned nothing on the bench behind Smith. He should have started every game last year. Mahomes, his dad, Reid, and every other source are just a bunch of liars. Thanks for straightening us all out. You're so smart! Tell me, why did you miss your calling? You would no doubt have 20 Superbowl rings by now. SMH.

I don't think you should ever start a rookie QB. The position is too difficult. Throwing them out there early is a great way to ingrain bad habits.

Good. It allowed Reid and Mahomes to develop a relationship. Reid gained confidence in Mahomes in a way that wouldn't have happened under fire. That confidence let Reid open up the playbook way more than he would have in his 1st season. No Watkins either.
