AFCWEST 1,238 Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 10. In the pre-Mahomes era dating back to 1960, the Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs had five 12-plus win seasons. TOTAL. Mahomes has won 12 or more games in all five seasons as a starter. It took him half a decade to match 60 years of success. I got down on my knees and prayed for a homegrown franchise quarterback for damn near 40 years. Sure most fellow Chiefs fans felt the same way. The universe responded by sending us the Michael effing Jordan of football. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself and ask, is this real, or am I living in a simulation? Because it’s almost too good to be true. Almost. https://arrowheadaddict.com/2022/12/28/arrowhead-autopsy-top-10-takeaways-seahawks-chiefs/ West, qnet and sith13 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbl2187 2,279 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Yeah. Mahomes isn't just a franchise QB. He is a franchise. He is the best of all the franchise QB's. I guess it was just KC's turn, that's all. It helped that Reid had several years to rebuild the team with Alex Smith, though. Then Alex taught him for a year. Just ideal.

He saw Mahomes' capabilities in practice and was fighting to hang on to the job. But the things that make Mahomes great, can't be taught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the things that make Mahomes great, can't be taught. I am super critical of the Chiefs and especially Mahomes. Winning has made me bitter when they don’t produce because I’m spoiled. I’ll admit that. This weekend, my wife’s cousin, who works for ESPN, told me that I have no idea how great Patrick really is. He is one of the people behind the scenes pulling, slicing, and editing video content that we see. He said the things he sees from the archives are just mind boggling.

But the things that make Mahomes great, can't be taught. I don't think Alex was trying to save his job. When a team trades off that much draft capital to get a first round QB, the job is already gone. Alex Smith and Reid handled the situation perfectly, especially compared to Green Bay (twice). Would Mahomes have been successful as an instant starter? Maybe, but doubt he would have won more games as a rookie than Smith did that year. It was Sutton's defense that held back the Chiefs in 2017. AFCWEST 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mahomes of year two was probably much better than the Mahomes of rookie year. No way to prove it, but aside from Marino, not too many light it up in year one. Look at Burrows, Lawrence, Tua, and Herbert as modern examples. Now I'll admit that Mahomes would have had a better supporting cast than most of the above, but will stand on my contention that the year on the bench made him a better career.

Mahomes started the last game against the Broncos and won. I was always a fan of Alex, but there's no doubt in my mind that I'd rather have a rookie Mahomes in the Titans playoff game than Alex Smith. One of them is that guy. One of them is not that guy.

This is what I'm trying to say. You're more succinct. Mahomes is generational. Smith is run of the mill. Rookie year. 5th year. Mahomes is better than Smith. No slight to Smith, Mahomes is better than everybody. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okiechief1 425 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Something i haven't seen mentioned is Mahomes passed 5000 yds this past week making it the 2nd time. In his career and he did it in 16 games. Brees and Brady are the only QBs with multiple 5000 yd seasons. Bradys second one came last year in game 17. If it was still a 16 game season he would have been 10 yds shy. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can excuse him for one bad half. He is the Muhammad Ali of football. "The Greatest." I guess we could say that Kelce has helped him a bit, though.
