I think it is hard to compare Mahomes to just about anyone. I think he will be elite, but what I think sets him apart from other QBs and why I think that 5K is realistic is the fact that there isn't any QB in the league with as many weapons at his disposal as Patrick Mahomes--and those weapons are perfectly suited for Mahomes' strengths.
A 4,000 yard season isn't that big of a deal anymore; 8 QBs got 4,000 yards last year--and none of them have the type of weapons that KC currently possesses. Any other team, and I would venture that Mahomes is a 3,600-4,000 yard passer. |

4000-4200 yards, 30+ TD, 15- INT, 60% completion.
Reasons. --Ultra talented, smart, reportedly a good grasp for the offense and leader. --Weapons galore. Possibly the best collection of skill position talent in the NFL. --Reid will make sure he succeeds. --Defense is average at best. Key injuries, like Berry, and the flood gates will open again. There will be a lot of shootouts. |

He's going to have one of the best supporting casts in the NFL and a coach that will let him throw on 4th and inches.
I expect he'll lead an even better offense than what we saw last year. |

That said, I am just hoping he can play smart and avoid injuries. He played pretty much his entire college career with some form of injury. Bad knee injury early in 2015 caused him to limp his way through the last 9 games of the season. Bad throwing shoulder injury early in 2016 made him a different guy for the rest of that season as well. Concussion in 2014. Broken wrist in 2016. And so on. He plays the game very hard. Takes some big hits that he needs to avoid. I just want to see smart decisions and good health from him in his first season at the NFL level. If he can learn to protect himself, I believe the sky will be the limit during his career. |

It's reeruned to average out 1 game against a 5-10 team playing a bunch of back ups in week 17. Do you disagree, or are you just being an asshole? The fact that it was mostly Mahomes and back ups vs. Bronco back up DB's and DL only reinforces the point I"m making. The dynamics will be entirely different. Christ this board is going full homer if I'm being called out for saying it probably isn't realistic to average a rookie's first start across an entire season (and adding selected stats on a whim). Will he also throw 0 TD's and 16 INT's? C'mon. I'm 100% on the kid's wagon, but I"m not going to predict a 5K 50 TD season. Sorry for being 'pessimistic'.

Anything less than 5 superbowl wins in his first year is going to be a dissapointment.

I believe Alex Smith was holding back Tyreek Hill there is no reason he can't be getting 10+ touchdowns a season. With Mahomes I predict an average of 15 a season next five years or better.

4,500 yards. 35 TD's. 11 interceptions.
The only thing that will hold him back is if our D is good. And, I don't expect that to happen this year. |
