Who's advertising that Mahomes is the next Brett Favre? Are the Chiefs actually advertising that Mahomes is going to take the Chiefs to the SB in year one?
That's why I did the "fyp" because the Chiefs organization is not advertising Mahomes as the next Aaron Rogers. So where is this "advertising" coming from? It's coming from posters here who are fantasizing that Mahomes will be greater than the greatest QBs to have strapped on a KC helmet, amirite?

I don't think anybody realistically expects Mahomes to lead the Chiefs to the SB in year 1. He's going to make a few "what the **** were you thinking?" plays, followed up with "Did you see that ******* throw! Holy CRAP, we finally have a franchise QB". My realistic expectations for year 1 in KC is a top 10 QB in the league. But, long term, he has all the physical and mental attributes and multiple offensive weapons to be a top 3 EASILY.
And I'm not comparing him to this guy or that guy. I have this gut feeling that teams on draft day will be comparing picks to Mahomes in the future. He was raised in the perfect setting with a father who was a long term professional athlete, so the pressure of being in the NFL shouldn't be a big deal. In college, his defense was TERRIBLE, yet he never folded and played outstanding under pressure. Mahomes isn't going to be a good QB in the NFL, he's going to be an ELITE QB for a decade or longer.
