I agree that Mahomes suits Reid.

Knowing the offense means jack when a cover 2 mystifies yo ass. Bench the robot. **** the chiefs, they are more concerned about not having a QB controversy than winning.

I think the argument would be if we're not going anywhere this year with Smith, we'd rather get that learning curve out of the way this year vs next year. But overall I'm not opposed to waiting until next year even if I think Alex takes us nowhere. Gives mahomes a better chance to be immediately successful and boosts Alex smith's trade value, which I think will be pretty high.

Really? Based on what? If you keep him in there, they will not win another game

I would like to get a stat of outdoor games that Alex has started in, where the wind gusts above 20 mph, and give me his win loss record. That'd be an interesting statistic.

Boosts our draft position?

Keep playing him and see what his value is when we miss the playoffs because he won't throw against a cover two.

We should have traded Alex Smith before the trade deadline but now each week Alex Smith plays he loses value.

The Chiefs aren't paying for a $16.5m backup qb. If mahomes is guaranteed the starting job, then teams know Alex Smith will be cut. So why trade? If we walk into next season with a qb controversy there's no guarantee we cut Alex. I wouldn't be surprised if we see the Chiefs continue to undermine mahomes' development until Alex is traded. Maybe that's what they're doing right now.

The other thing I think about is if mahomes isnt successful right away, will the team reconsider keeping Alex next year. I don't want that. I want Alex gone next year with no controversy whatsoever (assuming he doesn't somehow pull a 180 in the playoffs, which I doubt he will)

Much as I cringe to think about watching Alex the rest of the year, I think it sets up a nice long game for next year

Alex is gone after 2017

Let me sum it up for you, his record would be ass. Straight, unfiltered, unadulterated, ass.

I agree. Problem is, he picked a really shitty time to play like an MVP the first month of the season. That would have been a really hard trade to sell.

ARROW2 11-21-2017 11:55 AM

I would have traded him before the season, brought in a veteran backup, done.

I hope and I think so. But they can still bullshit other teams into thinking they don't plan to cut him. Especially if they sell the story that mahomes isn't ready yet.

**** ALEX. They are stupid as ****. **** whatever pick we get for him. The future success of the franchise doesn't ride on that shit. I don't give a **** what we get or don't get for this pussy, I just want his ass gone.

Do you ever shut the **** up or at least find something new to spew?
