Ok that makes more sense. I still disagree but I thought you were saying their skill was a fluke and wouldn't continue.
Smith, Frederick, and Martin were all pretty safe picks. They came with a high chance of working out. Hell, a lot of Giants fans wanted Martin over OBJ. Even Collins talent wasn't really doubted, just his character. I wouldn't describe all of those talents working out as a fluke. |

You know, all of this discussion has made me think about a rookie quarterback about 10 years ago. He was drafted around the middle of the first round and was supposed to sit a year like Mahomes. I believe that he was even supposed to be the 3rd string quarterback because he was considered to be so green. Then the starter and the backup got injured thrusting him into the lineup on day one. He responded by taking his team to the playoffs and winning 2 games on the road. He has since made it to the AFC championship game 3 times and earned a Superbowl ring and Superbowl MVP. You guys know who I'm talking about. Anyway. I said all of that to say that I wouldn't say that Mahomes would fair as well if he were thrust into the starter role right away. But that he wouldn't necessarily be ruined by doing it either. I see a lot of people polarized one way or the other on this subject. But every player and every situation is different. There's no right or wrong answer here. There are stories of success and stories of failure to support both sides of the argument.

Crap! Posted that in the wrong thread. Well, I'm gonna repost it in the Mahomes thread. To the repost police, I'll beat you to it.

My point is that if Reid's offense was so difficult to learn and it took Alex 2 years to learn it, the logical assumption would be that Alex's grasp on leading the offense and production would be markedly different in year 3 and 4 as it was in year 1 and 2. It wasnt. |

Remember when Foles came in during Indy...and the Smith bash-tards were SO excited for him to start the following week...until they actually saw him play an entire game.
The roaches went scurrying back under the baseboards.... |

Foles completed 20 out of 32 passes for 187 yards with 1 TD and 0 INT's. He wasn't, by any means, a world-beater in that game and he threw a couple very risky passes that could have been picked, but his performance wasn't as bad as a lot of you try to make it sound. Let's not act like we haven't seen much, much worse performances from Alex on several occasions. |

I am sure it's been said, but this is a throwaway season anyway. I hope Alex stays healthy - so that Mahomes is not rushed into playing, not because this team has any serious super bowl aspirations.

Who knows, maybe your offense would of at least resembled an NFL offense after a few weeks with Foles. We know it never did with Alex. All Foles did was win, big mistake not giving him more time imo. |
