Chiefs Realistic expectations for Patrick Mahomes - Page 6

Fat Elvis · 04-21-2018, 08:38 PM

I think it is hard to compare Mahomes to just about anyone. I think he will be elite, but what I think sets him apart from other QBs and why I think that 5K is realistic is the fact that there isn't any QB in the league with as many weapons at his disposal as Patrick Mahomes--and those weapons are perfectly suited for Mahomes' strengths.

A 4,000 yard season isn't that big of a deal anymore; 8 QBs got 4,000 yards last year--and none of them have the type of weapons that KC currently possesses.

Any other team, and I would venture that Mahomes is a 3,600-4,000 yard passer.

4000-4200 yards, 30+ TD, 15- INT, 60% completion.

Reasons.
--Ultra talented, smart, reportedly a good grasp for the offense and leader.
--Weapons galore. Possibly the best collection of skill position talent in the NFL.
--Reid will make sure he succeeds.
--Defense is average at best. Key injuries, like Berry, and the flood gates will open again. There will be a lot of shootouts.

Not a bad prediction.

He's going to have one of the best supporting casts in the NFL and a coach that will let him throw on 4th and inches.

I expect he'll lead an even better offense than what we saw last year.

Super bowl

Not even reading through this thread, but I'll throw my numbers at the wall.

4,200 passing yards

28 TD passes

12 Interceptions

200 rushing yards with 3 rushing TDs

63% completion percent

Imon Yourside · 04-22-2018, 02:43 AM

Anything less than 5 superbowl wins in his first year is going to be a dissapointment.

Rasputin · 04-22-2018, 03:22 AM

I believe Alex Smith was holding back Tyreek Hill there is no reason he can't be getting 10+ touchdowns a season. With Mahomes I predict an average of 15 a season next five years or better.

04-22-2018, 05:47 AM

4,500 yards. 35 TD's. 11 interceptions.

The only thing that will hold him back is if our D is good. And, I don't expect that to happen this year.

tmax63 · 04-22-2018, 06:54 AM

Watkins, Hill, Hunt, and Kelce. Hill (RBs) 5-6 td's, the others 7-10. That puts you in the 30 to low 30's range for td's. 3800-4000 puts him in the top half of QB's. 16-20 int's gives a bad (3+) game, a few not good (2-3) int games and mostly good (0-1) games. So 31 td's, 3900 yds and 18 int's. Throw in 1500 yds rushing among the RB's and you get close to 5500 total yards.

Expectations; none.

4,000 yards, 30 TD, 15 INT

Better than Alex Smith's best year.

That's where I'm at, and I think that's where the team is.

More than 26 TDs and more than 4000 yards.
