Tamba Hali recently admitted that, at times when Patrick Mahomes was on the bench behind Alex Smith in 2017, Chiefs players wanted Mahomes to play. https://t.co/U9kNvalVfY

When you look at the offense when it had first year Mahomes, Kelce, Tyreek AND Kareem Hunt it was the best offense in NFL history.
You go from Alex Smith to Mahomes the next year and it was worth about 25 more TD passes. [Reply]

Considering Mahomes was one Dee Ford away from ending Brady's season in his first full year as a starter, the case can be made that Mahomes was better than Brady the first time he started an NFL game. [Reply]

The year before that the Chiefs have Jeremy Maclin who was probably a little better than Sammy Watkins. Patrick has really never had a good WR 2 until this year and then Rice has to fuck us over. [Reply]

Okay then why didn't you say that in your post? You acted like I was the one who made that comment.
Anyway I am not going to speak for Mahomes in regards to how genuine he is in his press conferences. Regardless, clearly he was grateful for Alex Smith helping him out, his Dad even commented on it..
The situation worked out in the long run and that's what is most important. Alex Smith was nothing special on the field but off of it he was a class act. Not many QBs are going to want to mentor a rookie who is taking their spot. [Reply]

Lol, he already did the correct thing in year 1-2 giving Smith his roses. It's year 8. He really doesn't have to keep talking about Smitty, and yet he does. Maybe, just maybe, he's being genuine about it. [Reply]

or maybe, just maybe he is a professional and not an asshole...
what else would a professional whose image alone is worth dozens or hundreds of millions be advised to say?
what would any good agent advise him to say?
A) "He was a good mentor, learned a lot from him"
B) He was a middling check down QB that I beat out of a job
its mystifying what people think of his comments... has no one ever had to say something nice about the guy they just took over for, or who left a job etc...or someone who died and you're talking to others about them...?
I could tell in pre season on year one and in the broncos game in the last week of year one all I needed to see to move on. Look at those pre season games in year one. Thats really all you need to do to 'research' this question. [Reply]

Ming, thats literally my point.
He did the professional PR comment in year 1. No one is surprised by that. So why is it year 8 in his career and he's still talking about Smith?
Theres nothing to gain, no career move here that advances him one way or the other. So why bring it up? [Reply]
