Chiefs hope big gamble on Patrick Mahomes pays off

Newest from Terez. Fap worthy.

Edit: not from Terez. He just tweeted it out.

Big gamble? He is going to shock the world!

No one in the NFL has more to work with when it comes to talent then Mahomes.... It's not debatable.

"Tyreek. Run to the other side of that mountain and I'll hit you for a touchdown"

Calling Mahomes a gamble is like saying it's risky to stay when you have a 21

I guess I'm one of the few who thinks the Chiefs defense could actually be pretty good this year

I'm with you on this. I think we will have a top 10 Run defense and top 20 Pass defense.

I'm not looking for our secondary to been a stone wall... Just turn overs please.

Yeah, they beefed the front 7 up a lot. With the hopeful improvement of Jones and company, I'm hopeful.

The secondary has a hole or two as of right now, we'll wait and see on the rookies.

Because he is none other than THE SHOCKMASTER!

Good read. Thanks for sharing.

I don’t know why more people don’t at least expect improvement from last year.

When Chris Jones went out of that game last year in the playoffs, our defense almost immediately turned into a mountain of shit.

Decent read...thanks

Very true.

But they've put some resources into the DL and LB crew this offseason.

Exactly. I mean, can it get worse?

Big gamble vs wasting the last few years?


I’ll take a gamble. We’ve wasted enough with Smith.

The link went to Yahoo's Frank Schwab but was still a really good read.

Is Mahomes Andy's last surge for the Super Bowl before retiring to an all you can eat Hawaiian BBQ?

no no - I do too, for sure!

Thats okay Andy can get him some Hawaiian BBQ if we win a SB. I'm sure we can all chip in and get him a lifetime supply.

Just for the record, I think you both are crazy. I hope you're right, but I don't see it.

My last jersey was bought for me in 2005 after Derrick Johnson was drafted. I'm seriously considering a Mahomes jersey myself.

I have said before that I think this defense will be good. At least average. If Veach could add a good CB, I'd be ready to call it a potential top 10 defense.

The front 7 could use another good DL but it is pretty good as it is.

"It’s far from a guarantee Mahomes will be as good as Smith."

lol

Because we lost one of our biggest stars and are replacing them with younger players/non-first rd rookies + Eric Berry is coming back from a major injury.

Media won’t go for things unless they are more known.

I think at least in this first year, there may be a couple of bad games where he throws 3-4 picks. HOWEVER...

I don’t think there will be many weeks, if any, where the offense really struggles to score points or move the ball like we have saw in the past with Smith.

Yes it was.

this.


This has been my exact position from day one and continued to be my position until Alex left the building.


**** a safe 10 wins and early playoff bounce

exactly


anyone not understanding that laying a turd and turning into a pussy in ther second half doesn't cost you games really has no business writing about football


thats a guy who doesnt want to hurt alex's feelings there

Big gamble?!?!?!?!?!?

If Mahomes is as good as we've all been led to believe, this is going to be an awesome offense for the foreseeable future.

I'm thinking Chargers, Steelers, 49ers, Jags and Patriots could be his toughest games. If he can do well in these games than we should be on a roll!

Very underrated information.

Will you dickwads give it a ****ing break? He's gone and so are his fanboise.</br></br>I think I speak for 99% of the board when I say STFU already. You asshats ruined enough conversations.</br></br>We get it.

Mahomes is as safe a bet you can get with a 'rookie' QB. From physical tools, to mentality, to talent, to coaching, to the talent surrounding him. The guy has every reason in the world to succeed.

I like that those games are early. Gives Andy a chance to throw a bunch of stuff at them before teams can get a real feel of what we’re going to be doing on offense each week. The ‘tape’ won’t be out quite yet, you might say.

Good point.

Bombs to reek cannot be defended

Nagy may be gone but he left a blueprint - one in which a decent football mind could replicate - plus IIRC he wasn't always 'brilliant' himself.

I didn't bring up Alex. This author did. I'm criticizing the author's article.

So, no.

If they can generate a pass rush, they have a shot to be decent. If they're as terrible as they were last year at rushing the passer it will be tough sledding.

I mean, it is a gamble. How many rookie QBs come out dominating right out of the gate? Mahomes could be Aaron Rodgers, or he could be Jay Cutler. We don't really know. Anyone that says they know, FOR SURE, is foolish. Personally I think it is a good gamble, because we know the peak of this team with Alex Smith. And it isn't a super bowl.

Who are the 49ers?

:hmmm:

Nah, it's no gamble. It's possible they regress by a game or two this year but it's far more likely to be due to defense and schedule than Mahomes.

Let's quit pussyfooting around...we all expect 10+ wins and a decent playoff run. Next year (if they make the right moves) is SB or bust. Perennial contender for 10-15 years.

When Andy and Veach started swinging their dicks, that was our cue.

This what the fans have wanted for decades. Cross your fingers and hope Mahomes is as good as advertised.

Exactly what I was thinking while reading that. It wasn't entirely Smith's fault, but it was partly.

This is ****ing stupid.

You know what a gamble is? Giving an expensive contract extension to your 34-year old QB (remember, he had one year left on his deal with us) with 2 concussions and some arm/shoulder injuries from early in his career. Oh, and did I mention a key part of his game is using his legs, which is a skill that can deteriorate fast as you get older, not to mention the fact that it could open you up to nasty hits more frequently?

And it's also a gamble to keep your "known" starting QB until he breaks down/retires and you have no back up plan in place, and instead you just keep your fingers crossed that a QB can fall to you in the draft.

We had to move on from Alex Smith pretty soon anyway. We didn't take a gamble. In fact, we did the OPPOSITE. We found the replacement we wanted, and we did it pretty cheaply. We did it WHEN we wanted, and we moved on from our previous starter on OUR terms, not whenever we HAD to move on due to the previous starter's age or physical condition.

The Chiefs handled the transition from Alex to Mahomes about as responsibly as any team in the NFL could possibly handle their own QB turnover, and they did it by planning ahead.

The entire NFL is a gamble. Every move you make is a gamble. But on a risk scale from 0-10 with 10 being as reckless as you could be and 1 being not risky at all, I'd rank the Chiefs around a 0.4.

I'm so tired of listening to some people I know tell me how Mahomes may not be any good and then turn around and defense ****ing Case Keenum.

No kidding. Talk about a gamble. The guy had one good season when thrown in to the perfect situation. Dungver gave him $18 million a year and thinks that he's going to turn their shitty offense around. I would much rather bet on Pat Mahomes than on case Keesum any day.

Ricky Stanzi>Joe Montana>Nick Foles>Patrick Mahomes>Case Keenum>Damon Huard>Mark Castle>Brody Kroyles

I'd rather gamble than bet on these sure things...

fyp

Your team used a 1st and 3rd on a QB that has only scored 1 more career TD than Dontari Poe.

I'm just tired of defending the Chiefs and Mahomes to a friend of mine, today I was told the Chiefs will finish last.

Maybe, but even in those games we may see him throw 3-4 TD’s because the kid is going to use every fragment of his balls reciprocating his mistakes due to being the ultimate anti-pussy.

ROFL if true

LMAO

Epic burn

I'm not worried about the Broncos. I'm confident they will be better, maybe not a division winner, but I'm hoping for a possible wild card spot. As for KC, I'm simply saying that there's a lot of wishful thinking going on here. The poster I quoted says they wish Mahomes is as good as advertised. 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?

Mahomes already has the keys to your place.

You can have them back when he's done ****ing your mothers next year.

:clap:

Our GM literally called him one of the best players he’s ever seen in February. Andy Reid said that he felt like the offense could score on every possession against Denver that Mahomes was out there.

In a game where Mahomes’ best weapon was Albert ****ing Wilson.

Mahomes got Wilson paid

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.

Wilson got Wilson paid.


Made a bunch of clutch catches and plays last year.

He gets the Favre comparisons, he gets the Rodgers comparisons and thats fine... but I'd bet big money that Mahomes development in the pro game faaaaaar exceeds where either of those two were in their second years

Pat is that guy, he is going to exceed expectations from day 1

We'll lose a swashbuckling few... but we'll win more

Pat is gonna swing his monster dick all over the league for a decade plus. Gamble my ass. We're sitting on a goddamn goldmine and we're taking it to the bank.

I'm looking forward to the gamble...

I mean its the first time since Carl drafted Todd Blackledge...and we all know how bad Carl sucked.

I have cautious optimism.

Not Because of PM, but because Chiefs.

I'm pretty much snake bit at this point..

:(

That might be my biggest fear. Everyone is so confident he's going to be great. I think he will be too, he has all the talent in the world, but the Chiefs have certainly squandered talent before. I've never seen everyone so confident in something. Things never turn out like you think they will, and there are always bumps in the road. Especially with the Chiefs.

Sure, alligator arms was clutch

:rolleyes:

PAID.

He's going to earn his stripes this year. Our AFCW opponent are all loaded with pass rushers and we get the Rams and Jags with elite secondarys. Everybody has the ****ing Chargers going to the SB,LOL. So he gets tested right away.

Exactly.

I'm convinced that Kermit the Frog is Patrick Mahomes. Listen to their voices. I swear to god, same guy.

Yep, PMII Effect

If you remember the Alex Only Fans were complaining about his drops in last season's playoff game.

We will take a few lumps while Mahomes learns but in 19 he light up big. This kid is going to be the effing man.

Just stop dude.

He barely played.

YASSSSS go off kween!!!!!

Carl became GM a full 5 years after the 1984 QB debacle.
