Cantrell didn't play every down at Tech--not the way Kingsbury works. Receivers rotate in and out faster than brothel girls on politicians payday. Cantrell is one of those sleeper receivers that defenses made the mistake of either ignoring or vastly underestimating, and it cost them every single time.

Reid is already adjusting the offense around Mahomes' style which is why it would make sense to bring in a receiver in which the chemistry and connection already exists.

You put three dangerous receivers out there with Kelce on the line and Hunt in the backfield and what you'll have is an offensive smorgasbord of the likes that KC fans have never before seen.

Agree. Sometimes I swore Mahomes wanted the (Tech) defense to hurry up and give up the score so he could get back out on the field and get 'er done.

What I saw was maturity. He still has some more to learn, but I saw better poise and mechanics than I ever saw him demonstrate at Tech, but his maturity and development occurred with zero loss of his ability to improvise and make the play.

This is one special young man.

off at the brothel comparison, because that is about as spot on of a comment as I've heard describing the fast pass offense Kingsbury runs.

Would they do a rematch in Foxboro? Maybe.

I think they’re gonna want something very marketable.

The young talented defense of Jacksonville against the young talented offense of Kansas City's.

Highly marketable.

That’s my guess for the opener.

Then preseason came. He looked better than any Chiefs QB, rookie or vet, than I can remember ever seeing in a preseason. That doesn't say much, but as a rookie that was supposed to be raw?, no...this is when I knew for sure we struck gold. He made throws that you will NEVER see an NFL QB make. Wow.

Week 17 rolled around and Mahomes lived up to the hype. His stat line wasn't amazing, but, his decisions, quick thinking, the way he managed the offense, his pocket awareness...and the throws...OMG.

Mahomes isn't just going to be good...he's going to be elite...and very soon. Reid and Veech have created this offense for him to succeed about as well as any QB in NFL history. Study behind a QB and learn the offense for a year and amass serious talent around him with a QB friendly offense so he can hit the ground running.

I'd be shocked if he doesn't eclipse 4000 yards passing, 30 TDs and a 90+ rating in his first season baring injuries.

2 legit #1 WR's
1 top 2nd year running back
best TE in NFL
Good line
Coaching staff that can make players like AJ Feeley and Kevin Kolb look good.

He is going to be the next great one. Trubisky is a joke. Watson is a dance and bomb QB with piss poor short and intermediate accuracy. The 2018 QB class looks pretty garbage. Mahomes and Wentz will take over the NFL for the next decade. Brees, Brady and Rapist will be out of the NFL soon. Matt Ryan is still going to be good. Rodgers will still be great. Dak...overhyped.

You know the exciting thing about what you said is? That the greats retiring soon are in the AFC. The great ones left are in the NFC. Mahomes is poised to be a top 3 AFC quarterback for the foreseeable future. That's exciting.

Lulz at the Bills passing on him then blowing draft capital to move up and take a lesser player. Dumbest thing I've seen in awhile, outside of an Elway move.

Let's hope not...need more balance to win games

Yup. Taking care of the ball is still the biggest decider in games. It's just nice having that stud that can roll up points when things go south. Have never really had that in KC. Chucking it that much wiuld be a disaster though

AFC quarterbacks in two years:

Carr
Watson
Mariota
Luck
Bortles
Rosen
Mayfield
Allen

I wouldn't take a single one over Mahomes.

I love Mahomes, but a pre-injured luck is a pretty damn good building block.

Sure, but so is 2001 Tom Brady.

If you gave me the pick of the AFC quarterbacks to have two years from now, I'm taking Mahomes, and it isn't close.
