I think this has everything to do with the Chiefs being loyal to Alex and nothing to do with what they think of Mahomes.

I'm not sure he'll play this year, but there was no way they played him today. I don't think they'll bring him into a game cold unless Alex gets hurt. I think when they do start him, they will want to give him the week with the 1s and build a gameplan around him.

They basically spent two 1st round picks on the guy, I don't think they're going to just wing it and "see what they got."
