Should Veach be in all in year-to-year mode with Mahomes yet?

The next five years are probably all we have left for Mahomes to be effective. He is a guy that uses his quick twitch to get out of harms way instead of great pocket presence. With his body type he holds some pudge a little bit so it's reasonable to expect he won't be at his best or close to it still when he's 35+.

Thats why we should still be going for it. Regardless of if we have Kelce or Chris Jones.

I agree with the we should go all in part, somply b/c there are no gusrantees in life...But IMO, Mahomes has more time than you're giving him. IMO, he'll still have his arm and escape ability, like Brett Favre did, later in his career.

Mahomes will have to evolve his game if he wants to stay elite in his 30's.

I presume he is competitive enough, skilled enough, and savvy enough to do that. Time will tell, but I'm not going to all-in mode yet if I was GM.

I’m not sure how “going all in” every year is feasible. You can’t just not think about the future. It’s the quickest way to get us to pre Andy Reid levels of success.

Just draft well. Over and over again. There's never going to be some huge slack in the line to pay a bunch of free agents, and we are never going to flush/start over as long as Mahomes is still in his prime. Draft well and be a shrewd manager of the cap. And for crying out loud find some way, ANY way to get us a left tackle.

[Titty Meat]

No why change the formula that's set NFL records?

[Bearcat]

I know in Madden you could trade 1st round picks like 10+ years in advance...**** it, 2038 and 2042 first round picks for the LT of our dreams, LFG.

If you draft well, it won't matter. The rest takes care of itself.

We need Veach and crew to have more drafts like 2022 and less like the last two. Scouting department and front office needs to be better to sustain long term success.

They do their part and we'll be competing for Super Bowls every year regardless.

It's a little early to call the 2023 and 2024 drafts lackluster.

Fair on 2024.

On 2023, I don't see a single long term starter outside of Rice. I'm closing the book on that one.

Wanya is very likely your starting RT in 2026.

Connor started 9 games this year and played pretty well and is likely moving back to safety with Reid leaving.

They can't all be 2022.

Replace Justin Reid with Chamarri Conner. They made a big mistake putting him in the slot with his back turned to the QB when he proved to the coaches that he is really good in Reid’s role with everything in front of him.

[MahomesMagic]

The data says that very few QB's win SB's past age 31.


Brady has screwed with everyone's head about what the average actually is.


That said, Mahomes physically resembles a mixture of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers and both of those players had great years well into their late 30's.

[kccrow]

The only thing I'm all-in about is getting Mahomes two good OTs. The rest is relative.

Im actually cool with a soft reset this year. Let’s stockpile a bunch of draft picks, make some hard trades more like thuney (and also lose a few guys). We aren’t like other teams where these transitions are hard. We won a damn Super Bowl a few years ago with this formula. I am ok with falling a little short this year if it allows us to get more depth with young players

The one exception is that we need to get Mahomes right. Absolute top priority. I think we have mostly the right pieces minus a left tackle.

It’s stupid to waste an incredibly small window by punting a year. Just a ridiculous notion. Keep Mahomes happy that’s the fastest way to lose your hof qb.
