Does this team have an internal QB controversy?
This team has went south since the Steelers came to town. The tape showed Smith missing 4 to 5 TD opportunities. There have been other missed chances since. You know the players see the tape.
Meanwhile, we are starting to hear Mahomes is killing it in practice. From the players. Coaches aren't going to say it publicly, but they don't have to. Players know. Herd on Sunday Night Football that the Chiefs are playing with no passion. Both before the game and at halftime. I'm guessing the players know it's time to play the guy that gives the team the best chance. |

There absolutely should be a Quarterback controversy and it started the day we drafted Patrick by moving up 17 spots to get him.

Nothing more demoralizing knowing you are fighting with one arm tied behind your back for sure.

There is no way in hell the players have any faith in Smith left. You can't have your QB play as bad as he has the last five games and keep faith. Smith had no rings and nothing he has ever done gives him that respect. If Andy benched him I highly doubt any player would complain. Smith deserves to be benched and let's face it, he should have been cut. Mahomes should start this week but of course it won't happen. Andy is scared to make that move because of Alex delicate feelings may get hurt. After the Bills kick his ass it will be Armageddon at Arrowhead.

Andy: "Hey, I just need to do a better job putting Alex in a better place to perform and call better plays. It's on me." ![]() Press: You have lost the last 4/5 games averaging just 17 pts in those 4 losses with AS missing numerous WRs downfield. Are you concerned at all that this offense is severely sputtering knowing that you have PM2 that at least gives you a chance to connect on those downfield passes thus providing a spark for this offense getting KH going again because now defenses MUST respect PM2's arm? Andy: Okay let's just stop with the change at QB talk. Like I said, this is on me and anymore change at the QB position talk will not be addressed. ![]() |

Exactly. They still want to be invited into the media room and don't want to be banned. Just like political pressers. Any journalist worth their salt that asks hard questions are either ignored or banned.

The most telling point is the way that despite the 'new Alex' of this season, each and every defense for the last month and a half has openly laughed at him by ganging up on Hunt.
Absolutely no one fears him, well apart from his own offense, defense and fans. |

There is no internal QB controversy.
When Mahomes was drafted every single scout, talking head, etc., said he was extremely raw and would need AT LEAST one year on the bench. Reid immediately declared he wouldn't play the kid this year. Once camp rolled around Smith took the snaps with the ones. There was never an open competition. People are trying to make a big deal out of the fact that he runs the scout team. So what. You don't read defenses, call plays, make adjustments at the line, etc. Plus, the team is still in first place. There is no way in hell Andy Reid (or 99% of head coaches for that matter) is going to put in a raw rookie QB because the focus of attention would by on Andy Reid.
