Chiefs Realistic expectations for Patrick Mahomes - Page 5

Marino did it in 84

I expect growing pains along with signs of whether he is the next best thing or another Todd Blackledge. As a fan that has watched this team try it the hard way, I am ready to watch them try it the easy way; grab a guy that hasn't been broken or given up on by another team.

I would like the Chiefs to win a Superbowl, more than that, I would like them to dominate the AFC instead of trying to compete and lose to what I would call lesser opponents.

I realize many fans overestimate how good Mahomes will be in his first year starting and underestimate the defense going into next year.

**HemiEd** · 04-21-2018, 06:54 PM

Mahomes isn't scared, he has the physical tools to dominate at this level.

The unknown is his mental ability and I think we saw a sample of mental maturity in the Denver game.

Once Harris caught that first pass, it was on. Mahomes was locked and I don't think we have to worry about looking back.

The 48 year wait is over, enjoy it. This team is going to piss the NFL and the LA bandwagon off. They know it, that is why they started the schedule out 3 of 4 on the road.

It is all about LA but the Chiefs are going to spoil that party. 12-4 with a trip to the AFC championship game being the floor.

I didn't see anyone giving props to this HemiEd post... Nailed it pretty well.

Hmmm, kind of nailed it here.

I imagine he will still have some growing pains. He will probably break 3500 passing yards. He will probably be around 20 TDs. He will have almost as many INTs. He will have some "I shouldn't have thrown that" moments but he will give us more "How did he do that" moments.

O.city · 04-21-2018, 07:15 PM

He sat for a year to learn, has a great offensive mi def coach and legit starting cast around him. No training wheels, it’s time to take off and be legi

BryanBusby · 04-21-2018, 07:18 PM

The brakes do need to be pumped a bit. He'll be elite in time, but probably not 2018.

I expect 4k yards, 26 TD/14 INT year one. Chiefs go 8-8. His first year will be pretty similar to Aaron's.

No brakes dude!

I’d prefer not to see Mahomes over 5000 yards. That’d mean bad things about our complete lack of running game and no defense.

RunKC · 04-21-2018, 08:29 PM

Grew up around a father who was in pro sports, drafted by one of the best QB developers in football, spent time with one of the best OC’s his rookie year who is now a HC, sat a year learned from a veteran QB who was willing to help him...and finally will have 2 pro bowl receivers, pro bowl TE, pro bowl RB and a solid pass protecting OL.

I can’t think of a better situation in any time in league history for any young QB to step in and start his career.

Environment is the most predictable element for any young QB. Look at every good young QB. Wentz had below average numbers his first year and then looked amazing year 2 bc the Eagles stocked a ton of talent around him. Same with Goff. Watson and Dak walked into talented teams and look at what they did?

I will be shocked if Mahomes (barring injury) has less than 30 TD’s and 4,000 yards. Jared ****ing Goff didn’t have as good of surrounding receivers and was in his first year with McVay and he had 3,800 yards and 28 TD’s. Yup I think Mahomes can top that bc he has a higher ceiling and better environment.

DeShaun Watson was on pace to throw 17 INT’s last season and nobody gave a shit about it. I think you’ll see very similar things from Mahomes this year that you saw from Watson last year.

If I had to guess, I’d say something around 34 TD’s, 16 INT’s and 4,400 yards.

Red Dawg · 04-21-2018, 08:36 PM

I feel pretty confident saying Mahomes will throw for over 30 tds. Thats two per game average. He doesn't have the redzone limitations Smith had. The ints are the real x factor. He will throw more than Smith did but he will also score more.

This. Mahomes is in a truly unique situation in KC.
