This team is going to need a top notch run game to make an AFC Championship under Alex Smith in 2017, along with a top notch defense. Now, if Mahomes becomes as good as many including myself think he could be, it's a whole new level for the Chiefs. The offense could become something it hasn't been in nearly 15 years.
I honestly dont see our guys being quite as dynamic as Atlantas duo
But what our guys lack in explosiveness, they should be be able to make up for with with a grinding, wear you down, kill the clock style... provided Ehingers return is the cure for what ailed us last year
What Alex Smith brings this year, I have no clue... tempted to expect the same old shit because thats how he has mostly played for his entire career
But maybe, just maybe, the writing on the wall spurs him to reach outside of himself and he tries to MAKE plays for once... 'good' Smiff can approach dynamic, we'll see
The pressure will either make him wilt, or make him show off
If he decides to grab his balls, we could have a great year [Reply]

This is what actually drafting and taking a chance on a first rounder jumping up 17 spots in epic trade makes it fun. No body really knows. Everyone has opinion and everyone has to take a shit regularly in life or you get constipated.
Chiefs are constipated with Alex Smith need a laxative and let it go.
Patrick Mahomes II has potential to be Elite quarterback in the league or a bust. I will take a bet on the elite version by year 4 may take longer or sooner?
Still this is fun no matter what happens. We have somebody to root for to make this a respectful and feared team to play.
Let's please not turn this into Cassell type 2. Where we're calling for Mahomes throughout the season. Everyone here knows he will basically be a redshirt freshman this year. [Reply]

Yeah....I bet you know this from experience....because yeah, there were no 49er fans who turned on Alex when it became obvious that he wasn't gonna be the answer for them...yeahhhhhh...
If Mahomes ends up busting (and I obviously hope to hell he isn't a bust, and I think he will be good), fans would eventually become anti-Mahomes.
Don't act like you haven't been through that situation before. I'm sure when the 49er fans drafted Smith, there were plenty more optimistic fans in support of him the first couple-few years than there were in 2010. Or 2011-2012 for that matter. [Reply]

A direct admission of what I've always said. People who bitch about the QB aren't REALLY about winning a championship, or even winning. They're about the 'excitement' of the draft lottery.
They make the lives of fans who are actually interested in building a winner miserable day in, day out, year in, year out, . . . on the pretense that it's because the Chiefs don't have SB rings, when it's really because they're itching to open up draft day presents and beat their meat about how exciting it will be.

I disagree.
False hope has been driving this fan base for over 4 decades.
A drafted QB might be a source of false hope, but it's a different approach. Finally. [Reply]

No that's fucking bullshit. I believe in building a championship through the draft starting with the quarterback. Of course it's a hit and miss but fuck your retreads that have been misses time and time again and we know their ceiling.
I fucking GOD DAMN BELIEVE in Patrick Mahomes II
I look at the development aspect and team continuity that it takes for it all to fold together. The ride is fun the destination is Championship and Glory. [Reply]

I know, your like has forever bleated that the ONLY ONLY ONLY way to win a championship is to draft a high first round QB. And now that it's happened, you DIRECTLY admit that the real fun is simply doing the draft the way you wanted. If we lost we lose, if we suck we suck. We can just try it YOUR WAY again and again and again.
I too believe in Mahomes, probably more than most who jack off about him all day around here. But it has nothing to do with gambling on high picks at QB for the sake of excitement. I believe in Mahomes BECAUSE I believe in Dorsey and Reid. [Reply]
