On the contrary, if the first preseason game showed me anything it's that the Chiefs will be just as good or better this year if Smith goes down to injury. He was clearly more talented and very comfortable as the QB. Smith may have some aspects that he is clearly better at right now as a veteran, but as the season progresses, thing the gap will close a little in those things. [Reply]

I definitely felt better with Foles or Daniel on the roster. I'm not sure if we could win with Mahommes yet but, it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things I guess. We probably won't win the SB anyway. I think Bray will be the #2 this season. Reid is just trying to light a fire in his ass right now. Mahommes is gonna sit this year for a couple of reasons. First, he's not ready. Second, he will be a distraction. He won't dress unless Alex or Bray are hurt or sick. [Reply]

If we can win with Smith. We can win with Mahomes. It's not like Mahomes is replacing some sort of legend or anything. He would be replacing Alex Smith. [Reply]

We don't have the Cowboys offense. I think people forget that when they say things like this. Mahomes hasn't done anything yet and rookies like Dak are extremely rare. [Reply]

Still it's not difficult for Mahomes to replace Smith. If Reid can build an offense for a extremely limited QB like smith... He can for sure taylor one to mahomes...
Yes people realize he has done anything yet... Who would of thought. A first round rookie hasnt done anything yet in his first season before the season starts. [Reply]

We've waited 30 years to draft a 1st round QB.
We can wait one more to make sure the guy is ready to go... [Reply]

Don't disagree. But this laughable narrative that CP QB experts try and build that Mahomes can't play for a year or 3 because he needs to sit and learn. It's bullshit. It's not 1988. It's 2017. [Reply]

The Cowboys had/have a fluke of an Offensive Line, as mentioned several different times on this forum by members with more football knowledge than me or you.
Dak thrived because of it. Not saying that he's not talented, just saying. [Reply]

And most 1st round QB's bust because of it.
Most 1st year starters bust because of it.
Personally I think guys like David Carr and Tim Couch would have been franchise guys if the franchise had waited and built a team around them first.
People don't understand how rare it is for a QB to come in and start year one and later win a SB... [Reply]
