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]
That's an average inside the 25 yard line. WORSE than what you would get if you took a knee every kick off. There lies the problem in allowing the other team to drain the clock and score 6 field goals, you aren't left with shit to do work on the field when the other team has almost an entire extra quarter to hold the ball.

Says the guy who - like everyone else - has not a single ****ing clue whats on Reids mind, or what his timeline might be
I've already stated it plain as day, and while we dont know for sure, its a good rule of thumb to go by... Brett Favre started in Green Bay with FAR less preparation than Mahomes will have if he starts in 2018
Why would Mahomes be any different?
He is being asked to learn football verbiage, not rocket science
'Oh but footwork, and hey mechanics!"... thats absolute nonsense
If a young, scatterbrained beer chugger like Favre can pick up the WCO enough to successfully start in less than a year with hands on guidance from a coach who knows what he is doing... then so can Mahomes, end of story
In spite of your best efforts, Smith is GONE in 2018... bet on it [Reply]
Comparing Favre and Mahomes' situation like these are identical situation is both stupid and ignorant. Knock it off. Kelce/Reid/Dorsey all have recently said this is Smith's team. Get used to it and shut the hell up or come back when he's not the starter. [Reply]

And actually if my math and that post is correct that is the 26 yard line. League average is the 31.
5 yards on average. That's not as huge as you are acting. [Reply]
In your eye it's not huge but for Andy Reid and coaching staff, that's telling that the defense couldn't force punts and the other team was able to force kickoffs. Not exactly the situation you want when your biggest weapon is a punt returning specialist.

Would you not agree? .....
The biggest weapon was also our no. 1 wr by that point:-) I think our first round pick is going to be expected to get more out of our biggest weapon. [Reply]

Who are the Chase Daniel apologists? The only ones I've seen are the posters who claimed that it was worth it to keep him around as a backup towards the end of his backloaded deal even though we had Murray and Bray on the roster. That has absolutely NOTHING to do with your boyfriend Alex.
And if there actually existed Chase Daniel apologists, why would they also be Aaron Murray fans? Aaron Murray was Daniel's ONLY fucking real competition for the backup job in the 3 years he was in KC, and that's if you could even call it a competition.
You're making up shit to make yourself look like a victim again. [Reply]
You admitted that you knew nothing about Mahomes until post draft yet you're on board with Mahomes starting in 2018 while cutting Smith?
This team has the LUXURY of not rushing Mahomes into action.
Why wouldn't Reid and Dorsey take advantage of the situation instead of forcing a guy on the field that isn't ready?
There is very little chance Dorsey moved up that much to take a long term project... they're not asking the kid to be Werner Von Braun, they're asking him to get a basic grasp of WCO terminology
Thats doable in one offseason, let alone two
His physical upside is too great, and the cap savings involved are too big to not start him in 2018... I'm not worried about leadership, or who is gonna be the backup
Our regime will have that well in hand
Mahomes will start in 2018, if we disagree well it wouldnt be the first time... they're just not gonna burn 2 years of his rookie contract to watch him sit around IMO [Reply]
