USA Today ranks the Chiefs' QB situation as #25, partially due to the backup situation but also Mahomes being "boom or bust".

I expect he'll have a few early wins then hit a wall in his first season while he learns how to adjust to NFL-speed defenses. 7-9.

Yep, Great post.
What would the narrative be if the Patriots had moved up to draft Mahomes- then let him study behind Brady for a year, Brady gets traded and Mahomes was taking over?
I think a 3rd grader could write a better list, there are some serious head scratchers in there. Not even worth a 2nd look or describing the stupidity. [Reply]
I love the consistent double standard chef fans have for that game. Patty didn't beat the Bronco's starters, he barely won against the Broncos 2nd and 3rd stringers.

if he reaches his potential....it could send the chiefs into the upper echelon of teams for years
if he busts, well...we are the chiefs still for the next 5+ years
its probably going to take 2-3 years to really know what we have here.....so how to you put some number on it for next year?
I wouldnt put it as low as 25 but you HAVE to give some downside to the tremendous risks involved ......I'd say in the middle somehwhere with a massive upside potential but also a disastrous downside if it doesnt pan out.

Mahomes has "barely" beaten you guys 5 times in a row now. :-) [Reply]
