in all honesty, mahomes should take over as the starter as soon as the game isn't too big for him. whether that's week 1 or week 8 or next year. the game on friday night - was not too big for him. he was poised and in control. he looked as confident as any rookie i've ever seen. i'm inclined to think he should take over before the season is over.

alex won't win anything of importance. not this year. not ever. it's not his tools; it's his mindset.

the sooner mahomes takes the reigns, the better. guys like derek carr, mariota, dak, russ wilson, jameis winston, andrew luck, andy dalton, big ben, matt ryan and several others have succeeded from the get-go. if he's ready, then he's ready. forget the "he doesn't know reid's system yet" nonsense. good coaches adjust to their players.

and to this point, reid's system hasn't won a damn thing (nfc championships notwithstanding). mahomes is the most talented qb he's ever had. he needs to adjust as needed. patrick wouldn't be suffering the same fate as the elder carr, bortles and other qb's who were potentially ruined by starting too early. he's on a good team. he'll be able to grow into it without needing to be a savior.
