In my opinion this season is all about trade value for Alex. Don’t even think about the playoffs. Don’t get your hopes up. I’d take a better trade for Alex than I would one playoff win. I’d take a first/ second over Alex getting us to the AFC champ game and losing.

Seriously, I could give a crap less about playing out the season for a draft pick.
If this is what we are doing, I would rather see Mahomes in there getting some experience for next year. That would do more good than having a higher draft pick. Look at what Watson was doing. And most here would argue Mahomes is better than Watson. Mahomes has had nearly 6 months since he was drafted, and two since the season started to learn.
Let him play and get real game experience. Then he and Smith can continue learning in the film room from a different perspective. And Mahomes can get a game or two of experience in the playoffs, which could make a huge difference going forward.
