What if Mahomes fails as an NFL QB?

[TLO]

I know this isn't something that's pleasant to think about, but I'm curious as to what this franchise would do if Mahomes turns out to be a bust.

Do you think we draft another QB in the first round? Or do we go full CHEFUS and sign a middle of the road Alex Smith type again?

Ideally Mahomes is the QB here for 15 years on his way to multiple SuperBowl titles and the Hall of Fame. That's the dream, anyway.

I like this one too. Kyle Brandt says its time for the Chiefs to save their season before it is too late. ----> http://www.nfl.com/videos/kansas-cit...e-their-season

The fact is that A&M's gimmick offense is well known and basically all the "experts" bring it up when talking about Mahomme's college completion percentage. It's easy to see if you watch the film. Almost Every play is a rub or pick. Also, Mahommes doesn't have an NFL completion percentage yet. Things aren't going to be the same as they were in college. Their backgrounds are very similar. Locker got the Fabre comparisons too. Again, Mahommes floor is Locker and his ceiling is Farve imo. Mahommes has potential and potential means he hasn't done anything yet. He can wow people with his arm but whether or not he can put a team on his back and carry them when they need it most is yet to be determined. That's why I wanted Watson. He did it in college and he's already done it in the pros. Mahommes has a lot to prove before I crown him. He is the epitome of a boom or bust prospect.

I think a move could be made this time next week pending results from the NYJ game, but Andy probably isn't going to make a change until the Chiefs are completely out of first place, as shitty as that sounds.

Heh. The instrument has yet to be invented that measures my disdain for whatever name he is this week.
By the way, and I have said this before, you are my favorite poster.

Wow? How did that happen. Never seen the phenomenon of the delayed double post. Must be a server thing. Someone contact Kyle.

Kay Adams kinda cut him off early on it, but he got some information out nonetheless. A lot of good videos on that page.

What the **** with some of these Analyst bullshit. My god.

"Uh uh Peterman! Look at what happened when Buffalo put in Peterman! He could throw tons of picks like Peterman did!"

Too bad we have interviews with Smith saying the opposite...

It's pretty strange to want to wait until there's no chance of the playoffs before benching your crappy QB. It's like Andy assumes this whole thing will only get worse if Mahomes is starting and there's no evidence to prove that would be the case.

Actually, no evidence exists that a switch will result in either improvement or decline.

Exactly. So why not ****ing find out? As it stands it's a sinking ship and we won't know if the life vests will work unless we put them on.

I have no argument with your statement. You seem level headed and reasonable. Unlike others.......

Andy watches and talks to them every day of the week. Probably 360 days a year. I think he knows why if he does or doesn't make a change. We have no idea what's going on when it comes down to it.
