Chiefs do have the best quarterback from Michigan in this year's playoffs, even if he did play there in the 80s.

I mean we won, so no.
You don't 'take points off the board' so to speak. Survive and advance - we advanced and there's no way of knowing if we would've with Henne in there. But full disclosure: I'd have had Henne take that first drive of the 2nd half to see how things went. When Mahomes had that short carry for a first down up the middle, cleared the sticks and went straight down, it was clear how much of a hindrance that ankle was. And he misfired on 2 or 3 of his passes as soon as he came out. I'm not positive he was better in that state than Henne would've been, but I AM positive we won the ballgame and as such, onward and upward. |

If your star player can play, even limited, you go down swinging with him.
70% Mahomes (I didn't see the game, was working, so correct me if I missed the percentage,) beats a healthy Henne, physically and team emotionally, all day. |

I don’t doubt this team or staff. Those close games played to end the year build team character and attitude. The Chiefs are primed and a dog in their own house . |

First of all, who the **** is Chris Spear? Second, in what league did he play QB for 25 years? His company's intramural flag football league?
Henne is an older version of what he once was, a poor man's Alex Smith. You can spout off about his once a year heroics, but let him play the entire season in today's NFL and you'll be drafting in the top 10. |
I’m proud of henne and he has a place in chiefs history for two terrific playoff performances. But my god can we stop the narrative that he isn’t a clear backup? If there’s any downside it’s that people (including our own for some reason) have this weird idea that mahomes is a system qb and reid can win with just anyone.
Andy Reid backups were doing this all the way back to chase Daniel. Brilliant 1-2 drives then back to normal once the defense adjusts. You can only do so much with quick dink and dunk. Before henne had a gutsy finish in Cleveland he had a few bad drives and Cleveland climbed back. Mahomes had a good second half. And we won. So there is no doubt that the approach we took was a winning approach. |

If it's the regular season, you'd probably consider it.
But guys, it's the playoffs. Lose and go home. Season over. Patrick would not have gone back out there if the trainers thought his injury was severe enough that playing on it more would lead to permanent damage. In the playoffs, Mahomes with a bad ankle is still more dangerous than a fully healthy Chad Henne. Zero doubt in my mind. |
No. Jacksonville would eventually catch on to the gameplan. There were throws Mahomes made on the final TD drive that Henne wouldn't make.

Dance with the girl that brought you.
50% Mahomes is better than 100% Henne. |
