My thoughts on Pat

[ChiefAshhole1056]

I was going to post this on another thread but it felt too long for a post so I turned it into a thread. Read it if you'd like or don't, I just woke up absolutely elated and needed to type this out. So many things to be ecstatic about here.

1. Two firsts and a 3rd is pretty damn cheap to move 17 spots imo. I mean, the Texans dont have a 2nd this or next year now or a first and they traveled less than we did. We still have 8 picks left and Dorsey has more than earned the trust of the fans that he can do some work with those.

2. We got our guy, plain and simple. You go through CP for the last month or so, and the vast majority were on the Mahomes bandwagon. It may be because of the fact his style is a polar opposite of Alex's which we've grown to despise. It may be the fact that he walks into the NFL and automatically has a top 5 arm in the league. It may be the fact that our situation is absolutely perfect for him to redshirt and work out the kinks that everyone is aware he has. Whatever it may be people were fascinated by this guy, and I for one as a Chiefs fan was full on expecting for another disappointment. Not this year, not this regime. We got our guy, after decades of waiting for a first round QB that would be worth it, we got him.

3. The most understated factor of this entire thing for me is the fact that I can finally enjoy watching Alex play QB for us because I know we at least have a future plan beyond him. Look, we all have our thoughts on the man. He's ultra-conservative, he takes too many sacks, he wont throw the ball past the first down marker or into the end zone, everyone has their own complaints about the guy and it's very very very warranted. But we've won. Think back to what it felt like on a weekly basis during the Herm era. The Pioli era. The GOT DAMN BRIAN DABOLL ERA. What would you have given to have a team to root for that consistently wins? Thats what Alex has brought to this team. Yeah you can give Andy, or Dorsey, or the defense, or even Toub the credit for most of the success over Alex during this time, but at the end of the day Alex was our QB that led the Chiefs resurgence into relevance and success.

Trust me, he pissed me off just as much as all of you, but I for one will enjoy his remaining year (maybe two) with KC and will be more than happy to be thankful for him once he passes the torch to Pat. He's brought wins for us, which brought us happiness. Wasn't always the prettiest, but thanks to him he's made me happy more Sundays than not, and as a football fan, I can be pleased with that. Thanks for your service Alex. Now go out there, win most of the remaining games you have left with us, recoup enough value so that we can ship you off to the Browns next year for a 1st, and enjoy the rest of your career, we'll take it from there.
