Chiefs Realistic expectations for Patrick Mahomes - Page 6

**TimBone** · 04-21-2018, 04:51 PM

I know in the hearts of every planeteer, Mahomes has already led us to multiple Super Bowls, and that this whole career thing is just a formality before his HOF induction ceremony, but what is everyone realistically looking for from him this season?

Maybe I'm just letting my battered fan syndrome take over, but I feel like we need to pump the brakes a little bit. He looked solid against Denver, sure, but he's still just a second year guy that was pretty raw coming out of college.

So, what kind of numbers would everyone be happy with? What kind of things will you all be personally looking for from him?

Lastly, if you think I'm being a pussy and need to shut up and buckle up for the Mahomes show, please hit me with your best neg rep. The funnier the better.

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.
Hopes; the promised land.
Reality; Just survive,stay alive and healthy and dont pull a 'Blackledge' PLEASE!!!

ILChief · 04-22-2018, 07:10 AM

All other stats are skewed due to different eras with much different rules

I disagree. Favre threw tons of ints that lost games. 4 times he threw the losing int in a playoff game. Aaron's problem us they give him shit defenses. He way better than Favre.

philfree · 04-22-2018, 07:26 AM

Better than Alex Smith's best year.

Chargem · 04-22-2018, 07:32 AM

I'm not too fussed about results, I just want to see some promise from him in his first year. It would honestly be for the best if they finish 8-8, losing a load of close games and then get some really high draft picks to round out the talent for a proper push into the post season in 19

TwistedChief · 04-22-2018, 08:00 AM

We're obviously going to see a lot of shoot outs, in part because of our defense, in part that's just who Mahomes is as a quarterback, and in part because he has the best collection of skill players on offense in the NFL at his disposal.

I think he's going to throw a lot of picks unfortunately but we'll at least get to feel like he's improving for the following season so there will be an element of hope in it.

4300 yds / 29 TDs / 16 ints

It'll be fun regardless.

oldman · 04-22-2018, 08:05 AM

I'm going to be a little conservative and say 3600 yards, 24 TDs, and 18 INTs. While most on this board will probably disagree, look at the schedule and note some of the Ds we play. I'm just hoping he plays all 16 games and learns from his mistakes.

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

More than 26 TDs and more than 4000 yards.

I mean, if that's your only criteria...

At the time of his retirement, Favre owned or shared 389 NFL records

He still owns or shares 176 of those

First and only player to win 3 consecutive league MVP awards

Played in two Super Bowls, winning one

First QB to win a playoff game after age 40

His Iron Man streak of consecutive games started by a QB will likely never be broken

My honest appraisal of his floor if the offense stays healthy and doesn’t lose any major parts.

4000 yards passing
400 rushing 5tds
30 td passing
13 int

Huge playoff performances.

KChiefs1 · 04-22-2018, 10:31 AM

My expectation is that Chiefs football will be fun again!

Patrick Mahomes worst year will still be better than Alex Smith's best year.

ModSocks · 04-22-2018, 11:04 AM

Guys, don't be afraid to have high expectations.

You have every reason to expect a lot. Everything HE has shown us up to this point warrants those expectations. Everything the Chiefs have said and done warrant those expectations.

If you are wrong in your bold prediction, know that you will be in good company.

**The Franchise** · 04-22-2018, 12:20 PM

4500 yards
30 TDs
14 INts

This is true.

We're about to witness a style of play that has never happened from a Chiefs QB ever.
