Does this team have an internal QB controversy?

No

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.

Devil's Advocate:

Nearly every reputable scout/talking head also said that Mahomes was a better prospect than Deshaun Watson.

That kid only lit it up playing with less talent than Mahomes would be surrounded by here.

He's not going to play this year because a.) Andy is a stubborn **** and b.) Andy is a stubborn ****.

Mahomes was arguably the better prospect because he has a much higher ceiling - but also a lower floor.

I wanted Mahomes to get the #1 snaps from the start. I wanted the Chiefs to focus on him once he was drafted. Unfortunately Andy, and most of the posters who are currently freaking out, wanted him to sit a year or two. He didn't get the snaps and is probably not prepared.

Disagree with the lower floor and probably not prepared comments.

Otherwise, we're on the same page.
