Benching Alex now is premature. Allow him to have one more bad start, then pull him. Reid has to know the temperature of the team: he doesn't want to lose them or anger veterans yet. But if Alex starts poorly against the Bills, no one will be able to question it. By then Alex's trade value would be irretrievably lost.
It's all about calculating the right time to make the move. It won't be for Alex's sake, it will all be about doing what's best for the team now and in the future So let Alex start next week. It will give Reid enough evidence to make the change. And yes, it will happen if this continues. Reid won't stand to get embarrassed by Smith |

THIS!!!! What, 13 years, 4 1/2 of which are in KC and the last 5 games are not enough evidence? It drives me ****ing nuts when I hear "If he keeps this up, then bench him..." WHAT DA ****?!! What are we waiting on, the chargers to catch us? |

But both of them are correct that Mahomes has special talent. Everyone knows it. He can make plays that very few QB's in the league can make. If Alex can't succeed while playing within the offense, maybe they should shake it up with some freestyle Mahomes action. |

I was firmly in the "let him sit and learn" crowd until yesterday. I don't care if the wind was blowing 50 MPH, there's no excuse for bouncing passes 5 yards in front of a receiver. Wind won't be a problem in Minneapolis, but there aren't any domes on the road to get there.
You can make all the arguments you want about making him lose his confidence or getting him hurt, but that's football. Play the kid, play him now, and get what you can for Smith in the off season. If we're 1 and done with Mahomes in the post season, so be it. We're not going to get much farther with Smith if even that. |

There is no good reason not to play Mahomes any more. Andy is just sticking to his word and now we all get to suffer for it another 6 games.

This would be the perfect time to make the switch IMO. Smith had that "QB breathing down his neck to take his job motivation" at the beginning but that has worn off. Put Mahomes in now and he has 6 games against potentially beatable teams to settle in. The team would rally around him without question.

No need to worry, arrow has promised us HOF QB stature and at least 13 super bowls. We'll be fine.
