Chiefs Realistic expectations for Patrick Mahomes

**TimBone** · 04-21-2018, 04:51 PM

I know in the hearts of every planeteer, Mahomes has already led us to multiple Super Bowls, and that this whole career thing is just a formality before his HOF induction ceremony, but what is everyone realistically looking for from him this season?

Maybe I'm just letting my battered fan syndrome take over, but I feel like we need to pump the brakes a little bit. He looked solid against Denver, sure, but he's still just a second year guy that was pretty raw coming out of college.

So, what kind of numbers would everyone be happy with? What kind of things will you all be personally looking for from him?

Lastly, if you think I'm being a pussy and need to shut up and buckle up for the Mahomes show, please hit me with your best neg rep. The funnier the better.

anything over 3600 yards and under 20 INTs I would consider a success statistically.

lead the offense to average 26 points or over would be a successful output too

So I guess you are happy with 35?

Well not me....and I think it is a fairly moronic to assume anything about him at this point.

Even if he is good he will have growing pains...and this team won't be Super Bowl ready for at least two more seasons.

What that looks like statistically next season? I would hope he can manage something in the range of 3,500 yards 15-20 TDS and 8-12 INTs?

You do have a lot to learn so pay attention here.

Super Bowl ? Sure it's a long shot, but just saying That the Patriots wasn't expecting Tom Brady to win a SB when Bledsoe went down with an injury, so anything is possible, , but as I also mentioned, long shot.

4000 yards plus, this is easy. Look at his receivers, he is with the 1's, not back ups. The kid has so much talent, he is easily the most gifted QB KC has ever had. If he stays healthy, it's not a matter of if, but when he passes Lenny Dawson as the best in KC history.

Literally, the sky is the limit with this kid.

What I want is 4000 yards, 30 TD's 12 Int. What I realistically expect is 3200 yards 25 TD's 15 Int. That would be a disappointment to a lot of us. But I think that it would be good for a first year starter.

**RealSNR** · 04-21-2018, 05:19 PM

Mahomes isn't a rookie. He's a 2nd year player. First year starters who struggle are usually rookies.

Going over-conservative with predictions is what you do with rookie QBs. Guys who are middle-of-the-road starters like QBs like Ryan Tannehill or Andy Dalton had those kind of low-3000 numbers with a high(ish) number of INTs.

Mahomes is going to throw for 4000 yards. He's going to be in a bunch of shootouts, and he's certainly got weapons.

His efficiency, ball security, and perhaps his TD numbers will perhaps be not very good, but his yards?

**** that. Dude's cracking 4000 easy.

What's wrong about what I said? Did Rivers play like a rookie in his first year as a starter? Carson Palmer? Aaron Rodgers?

Maybe if you smoked something you might be better at concentrating on reading.

A year or more on the bench can be huge for a young QB, particularly a QB in a stable coaching environment with a decent supporting cast

I think SNR is right that you're discounting just how important that redshirt year was, it really helped him apply a layer a polish... and it showed in week 17

I was sooo against him starting there, sooo worried something would go bad with our backup O line and skill players... psshh, boy was I wrong

His first NFL start was on the road, against our most bitter rivals and their very good defense... and all he did was pull off a comeback win, if that doesnt bode well I dont know what does

Lets hope

Don't get me wrong, of course I liked what I saw....I think we all did.

200 yards/game? With talent all over the field? Ha....please.

Quit being pussies. This ain't your typical first year starter or situation that one normally walks into.
