Chiefs QB situation #25 - Mahomes is boom or bust - Page 5

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.

What does this even mean

I'm sure Mahomes will be great, so I expect to be hit by a bus sometime in August.

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?

No. It will be stacked up a mile high with Keesum at the helm.

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.

Another great thread.

This guy left town right after we won Super Bowl so he was obviously a fan of either the Broncos, Raiders, Chargers or maybe the Pats.

With a name like Crowbar, that's sounds like a Raiders fan for sure.

I would say he is Boom! BOOM!BOOM! :-)
[Reply]

Bronco fans in this thread. :-)

Tomb-y, lmao! Has Dungver beaten Mahomes yet?? Lmao

Yeah... I'm starting to lean toward that Mahomes MIGHT become a respectable QB in the league one day. What an awesome time to be a Chiefs fan.

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.

I assume you meant 2-3 games.

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