With Reid, Sutton, and this roster, the team is a pretender anyway. They might as well get a leg up on a potential window in 2-3 years, when all these pieces would have aged out anyway.

We are all excited about Mahomes, but it's likely he's going to turn the ball over more than Smith at least at first, and that more is going to be asked of the defense when we aren't playing as tight of a ball control offense (hopefully).

A rookie QB isn't going to take us to the Super Bowl, particularly on a team like this with many glaring weaknesses. It would be better to start building a defense for 2020 instead of trying to apply bandaids to this terminally ill unit.

I didnt say gut the defense, i said old and ineffective players. Bye Hali (non contributor) DJ (aged and slowed) Sorensen (Eats dicks in hell) possibly bailey and parker.


18 points allowed vs steelers and 22 points allowed vs titans at home is too much to overcome I suppose. Not to mention 27 at Foxboro. Defense did their part in every playoff game except the colts game. And one year, gay boy smith couldnt even get the chiefs to the playoffs with a top 8 defense

Whats wrong with the roster? if we can have a good draft and have 55M in cap space to attack free agency, this team is ready to compete.


One could argue that his offense is going to put up more points as well.

He isnt a rookie QB next year. We dont have a ton of glaring weaknesses that cannot be adressed. We need a few defenders, and a couple of our players to come back heathy.
