Chiefs QB situation #25 - Mahomes is boom or bust - Page 7

USA Today ranks the Chiefs' QB situation as #25, partially due to the backup situation but also Mahomes being "boom or bust".

Quote:

We’re high on Patrick Mahomes after seeing him play in Week 17 last season, but he’s going to be a boom-or-bust guy for the next few years and the Chiefs do not have a solid backup if he gets hurt. No, Chad Henne does not count as a solid backup.

I expect he'll have a few early wins then hit a wall in his first season while he learns how to adjust to NFL-speed defenses. 7-9.

This narrative needs to be addressed because it is just not factual. I seem to recall a few starters in there. Also worth mentioning is the fact that Mahomes had a bunch of backups around him, as well.

The game log credits Talib, Chris Harris, and Roby all with at least 1 tackle. Brandon Marshall had 4. They may not have played the entire game but they did play some.
