Here’s why you don’t start Mahomes

[In58men]

First of all, our schedule is very easy from here on out. We have 6 games left with four of them being home games. As much as it pains me to say this, Alex very well could get it together and we’ll have a shot at getting some value for him. We bench him now, we won’t get shit, period. Let him pad those stats baby!!!!!

Mahomes has no chemistry with the first team players, he needs a full off-season to mesh with those guys. If he starts or sits, either way we have no chance at a Super Bowl run. This defense is atrocious. If Mahomes lays an egg (which is highly likely) it’ll just knock his confidence down. There’s no reason to risk an injury on a player when this team isn’t going anywhere with or without him playing. Last thing we need is for him to come in and get concussed. Be smart, put the beer down and calm the **** down. The remaining schedule should be a breeze for Smitty to rack up some decent stats.

I love you all and it’ll all be okay!!!!

I think that's why you do start the rookie. Not sure how it would be viewed by players, etc... but if you're truly talking about the best thing for the franchise, why not?

Cause feelings. Andy doesn’t want to break his boyfriends heart.

Half of this town full of idiots still think Alex Smith is an MVP just stuck behind a bad O-line, defense, and an offense full of talent less WR's that can't get open.
Did a mention Kareem Hunt now "sucks"?

People are dumb, and the Chiefs utilize it.

Here's why you don't make the change to Mahomes... Alex has an easy schedule ahead of him as noted, we need him to appear as if he's a quality starting QB in the league. Why on earth would we want to sit him if we're offering him up as trade bate this offseason? If you want to try and squeeze a 2nd out of one of the 5 or so teams desperate for a QB this offseason than you gotta let him play the season through.

You’re making too much sense for them to understand this.

Why are you guys acting like if he doesn’t get regular season reps it’ll either make or break his career? The plan was to have him sit all season, no reason to change it up now.

But who is gonna trade for him? I’d rather take my chances in the draft. I guess their is always Cleveland. They enjoy bad qb’s as much as the Chiefs.

Man, this thread goes to show that just because you get with 58 men doesn’t mean you know football.

Turned out I was right

Offense needs to be in high gear for the Buffalo game

If Alexis starts, guaranteed loss.

I GUARANTEE WE WILL WIN A PLAYOFF GAME IF MAHOMES COMES IN NOW!!!

Smith is really setting the bar high with all his great play. How could Mahomes ever match that quality play.

Typed as if you think the 31 other teams haven't watched the guy for a decade... everyone knows what he is and while he has value, you're not receiving a king's ransom for him.
