Looked good and will improve by leaps and bounds. I say over and under is 8 games in before we have a QB controversy.

There won't be a QB controversy this season because Alex is light years ahead of Mahomes in regards to running the team. That first drive was beautifully executed.

Bullshit. Have you watched a game under Reid? He always scripts a great first drive and then the offense goes to shit. Alex isn't light years ahead of my ass.

I know all about that but the first drive was executed perfectly. Alex is light years ahead of understanding Reid's offense. I think you'd be unhappy with the outcome if Mahomes was thrown in there at this point.

I would love to see Mahomes with the first string. Should be fun.

Let's be honest - it was the 37 yarder to Hill, and then a lot of dink/dunk. If Ware doesn't juke a guy out of his jock on 3rd down late in that drive, it's 3 instead of 7 and people are complaining about the checkdown. |

Nelson shouldn't be the 2nd CB behind Peters. Guy needs to stick w/ playing the nickel.

What does next year is all that matters. He can fugg up all over pre season for all I care. Give him all the reps with the ones from the start next year and watch him two and take off.
He's a playmaker.

In a short time, you can see Andy Reid rubbing off on him. That looked like a later career version of McNabb last night. I actually think a lot of the prescripted screens will help mahomes early on by slowing his tempo down. Unlike Alex, you can get away with more of those short loss passes because mahomes can make up yards in big chunks whereas Alex usually needs all three downs. Reid never minded McNabbs improvising and mahomes showed decent pocket awareness, elusiveness, and ability to throw on the run. But despite the improv He looked yesterday like a guy willing to play within an offense. That's very McNabb like except mahomes will evolve into a smarter more accurate qb. A lot of that is Reid. But maybe we're seeing that when he feels like he doesn't have to score a td on every possession, he knows how to dial himself back.

I wasn't impressed by Mahomes at all but I know he is young and that was his first game.
He'll get better and I think eventually will turn into a very good QB but as of right now this kid is very raw. He needs time. As a Chiefs fan I am obviously rooting for him. What I did like - his ability to extend plays. Seems like he has pretty good pocket awareness which is great to see. You can't teach that. |

Not impressed with only missing 2 passes and posted a 126 QBR with an improvised TD? In his first game? Huge bomb on his first NFL pass? You need to take your Alex Super Hero glasses off to watch the next game. |

That huge bomb was a bad pass. It was underthrown. It should have been an easy TD. I think Mahomes is going to be great eventually. I just don't think he is there yet. Sure his stats were good but most of his throws were quick one-read passes pretty much any QB can make. I'm excited to see what he does next game. |

It is a good thing Alex never underthrows wide open receivers huh? As one of the most vocal Alex supporters on here, it is hard to believe you can be unbiased no matter what PM2 does. Hopefully, he continues to improve and I think he will- but considering that was his FIRST game it is silly people are being so critical of him. It is almost like they were hoping he would fail-so they could say- Because Chiefs. |

I disagree that I am being harsh on him. I simply said I was not impressed but I think that he has a ton of potential. That doesn't mean I thought he sucked. I am not hoping Mahomes fails. As a Chiefs fan I hope he turns out to be the next Brady but at the same time I'm not going get excited just because he is a 1st rd draft pick. I want to see something that impresses me before I get too excited and I have that right. I didn't see anything last night that got me that excited. That's just being honest. To be fair that's to be expected it's his first preseason game and he barely played. He could have a bad first year and still turn out to be great so I'm not concerned at all. I'm going to be patient with him. Just because he is a rookie doesn't mean he isn't allowed to get criticized. |
