So you think I'm lying? Do I need to post more screenshots?

You can doubt Chad Henne as a great backup if you want, but you look pretty ****ing stupid by dismissing him as a rusted away wobble launcher, and I think most of the fan base and the Chiefs team would smack you down pretty quick on that one.

Henne got the 1st down to clinch the game when Mahomes went down in the divisional last year. He did take it from the 2 yard line to a TD this year. Thanks Pacheco.

But, to trust him to win a going to a SB game against Burrow is just not realistic. I recognized at least two of the plays he ran last year and ran this year. Defense's are going to prepare for him on Sunday.

None of this is a diss of Henne. You need an elite QB in 2023 or playing like one, to be in the SB. We either punch our ticket with a hobbled Mahomes or we go home.

Not lying, but probably misinterpreting the validity of the sample size of rando twitter commenters. You can post more if you want. Had not heard even a whiff of this until this thread.

The Chiefs have a highly trained medical staff that has spent their entire careers learning how to manage sports injuries and what they need to do is listen to guy that works in the warehouse over at the legends Nebraska Furniture Mart and tweeting on his phone while taking a crap.

They make it sound like Henne is the prototypical backup QB. Has the attitude he's going to play every week and prepares as such, has been with the team for years and knows every detail inside and out, knows to execute the plays and not try to do too much.

If you have an untested rookie playing in that situation you end up with turnovers. You need an experienced hand who's not going to get carried away by "this is my moment" feelings, someone who can just unemotionally run the plays like he's done a hundred times before.

I can assure you, I'm not misinterpreting it. I've seen dozens of posts on FB this morning saying we should have held Mahomes out because we need him next week. Dozens. I'll leave it at that.

I think this writer has personal beef with the Chiefs. Must be a Cowgirl fan as his twitter account says CBS is promoting him and can move back to Texas. He questioned every move by the Chiefs.

Yes, Mahomes needed to play in the second half.

Henne's very first pass was almost intercepted. Probably should have been. The running game bailed him out.

We would have won either way. That's how the Chiefs roll.

bingo
he had a 98 yd TD drive doing just what you described

Yeah, it's not like he never makes an error or he wouldn't be a backup, but I'm discounting a tipped ball and considering that he made no other mistakes.

No. Once they knew there weren't any breaks they should have put him right back into the game. Instead, they let Henne finish the drive and Mahomes was out of the locker room before Pacheco broke that run.

I don't think Mahomes was being immature really, I think he is just ultra-competitive and wanted to get back out there to help the team win. He knew he sprained it. There's nothing you can do for a sprain other than tape it up and let him play on it anyhow.

I think social media is filled with alot of idiots that never played the game. Playing with broken fingers and sprained elbows and ankles is about as normal as taking your daily shit.

It was one drive where the running game did all the work.

Do you honestly think we're winning that game with Henne playing the rest of the way?

But isn't there some level where if you look at the replies to anything on facebook and twitter you'll see the dumbest 1/3 of humanity? Chiefs stories, news stories, posts by the city parks department, anything you like. I don't think the sharpest people spend their time bickering on facebook.

I say this as someone who casually bickers on CP, of course, acknowledging the irony.
