Arrowhead is ready.

Can confirm. I'll be there next week, offering Andy my free advice on who to play at the quarterback position.

This would be the perfect time to make the switch IMO. Smith had that "QB breathing down his neck to take his job motivation" at the beginning but that has worn off. Put Mahomes in now and he has 6 games against potentially beatable teams to settle in. The team would rally around him without question.

He had his 15 minutes of fame in the first 5 weeks and now teams know how to fluster him. The other players are already angry and throwing in the towel. The only way Andy is going to save this season is by putting Mahomes in and lifting everybody's enthusiasm. Alex doesn't deserve another start, he deserves to be demoted to third string!

Alex doesn't deserve anything. I think Reid wants to wait until it is abundantly clear that he needs to go. The NYG game was the holes in the coffin. The Bills will provide the nail

Then go to Mahomes!

No need to worry, arrow has promised us HOF QB stature and at least 13 super bowls. We'll be fine.

Difference is Mahomes game doesn't rely on mobility and speed

Also let's be real, RGIII was too skinny....Mahomes could afford to lose a few pounds.

Not that Tyler Bray being a backup is anywhere close to a good idea, the Chiefs FO kinda ****ed up by not having a magically quiet injury that placed Mahomes on the IR list so there'd be no chance of any sort of QB controversy.

Yea I guess we better play it safe and give Alex an extension then.

I would rather watch Mahomes crash and burn like Ryan Leaf than waste any more time watching Alex Smith tease us snap after snap, game after game, year after year.

Bray was never good, impressive, or smart in any way. Mahomes is the type that could start a true controversy.

Bray only had an arm.

Mahomes has vision, confidence, desire to attack a defense, strength, and the ARM.

I don't believe the Chiefs are afraid of a QB controversy any more than anybody else. We could have drafted help for Alex. Instead we traded up for Mahomes. That clearly caused controversy from the start. This isn't 1975, the Chiefs are here to win and they won't let Alex keep them from doing it.

no, but perhaps it's wise to let him develop without being rushed.

Again, there is a REASON we traded up and gave up premium picks for Mahomes!!!

You do realize that RG3's downfall was the injury, right?

Thanks in part to Shanarat running dumbass QB post routes.

There is nothing we saw from Mahomes during preseason or the reports coming from practice since then to make anyone believe he isn't ready right now.

Do you think Deshawn Watson is a much better QB than Mahomes?
