In the meantime Captain Checkdown can win us some games and have a playoff run. No I don't think we can win a Superbowl and frankly that's fine. The only way I'd be upset is if they sit Mahomes in '18 as well. That's a bridge too far.
I disagree with all this Mahomes needs at least two years bullshit. Perfecting footwork is only necessary when you rely on footwork to make throws. It seems Mahomes can make all the throws without it. But I digress, he isn't starting in '17 so drill away and prepare in case Alex is injured.

This is all I've been saying isn't that he should play but the possibilities because of circumstance and his abilities may push the issue that he ends up playing right or wrong not my decision to put him in that will be up to the coaches. I just think the kid will be ready and not be ruined if indeed he plays. I'm not suggesting he starts at all this season unless playoffs are out of reach and he knows the offense and can read defenses. No way would he do worse than Alex Smith rookie year.
