Yeah. Great plan.  |
Versus him getting hurt early next season after Smith is dealt and starting Tyler Brey all season? He's not a fragile 33 year old like Smith. Give him a shot. Take him out if we have a nice lead.
It wouldn't be a foolish idea to start Brey. But you're likely conceding the win, whereas you probably win the game if Mahomes plays, AND you get an idea of how NFL-ready he is against a solid defense on the road.
