Legend of AC 269 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 First off, I really like the kid and think he will, but what if he struggles immensely? We have no contingency plan whatsoever. Surely a veteran QB has to be a priority this offseason, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen 1,010,220 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I think he plays even if he struggles. But i don't thibk he'll struggle, just have ups and downs like any young qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 That's why I wished Smith could have stayed but of course he couldn't. Chiefs need a goid reliable backup. I like Bradford but he's too breakable and would probably want to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moons314 2,463 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Mahomes will struggle , but in 3-4 years he will be Aaron Rodgers. Getting through the struggles is just part of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WichitaZRide 321 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 No team really has a plan when they draft a QBOTF and they don’t pan out. Look at Denver. If Mahomes isn’t the guy, we have already gutted oit defense...we most likely will have a high pick and won’t be in an Eric Fisher situation...that’s the beauty of the rookie pay scale...easier to move on from a 1st round bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 If he doesn't pan out we get to bitch more! Some will go off how we wasted 2 first round picks, others will say never draft a QB and target other teams backups, and the rest will spend years debating if it was Reid, Dorsey, Hunt, or Veach fault we picked him.

I like Bradford but he's to breakable and would probably want to start. If Smith were 38 or 39 and had a commensurable contract, they would've kept him. But the fact that he is likely to play beyond this contract, they weren't going to extend even a year or two at any rate to keep him as a back up.

Mloe68 1,521 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Agree we need a veteran. Do we want the upside of a former first rounder that perhaps Andy can rehab and flip for for a pick or a mentor type with no starting upside like Chase Daniel.? Either way it’s an obvious need.

xen 1,010,220 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 If he doesn't pan out we go back to the draft to find a new one. Probably with a new coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t in a position where if Mahomes goes down we need someone to save a super bowl run. I’d be more open to a veteran backup in year 3-4 of Mahomes , but not now. For now I’d prefer a cheap warm body, and if Mahomes got hurt and was down for the season, I’d be more interested in gaining draft position than trying to back into a first round playoff loss with a backup.

Disagree to some extent. What if mahomes is out while we're in the hunt but we expect him back. A vet that can win you a few games is priceless. Would love somebody like Fitzpatrick but he's probably looking for some starts still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck Alex Smith said having Chase Daniel was invaluable to him in the beginning of trying to learn this offense. And again a backup Andy can work into a marketable position is ideal too. Andy’s good at this which is why I don’t think Bray is legit although I’m fine bringing him back if he’s gonna legitmately have to compete for a job.

Not if it's a lengthy period of time but what if it's not? Bray shouldn't sniff the field. He should hold the clipboard holder's clipboard.

Because I’ve never trusted even the greatest qb to come back from a lengthy time off to perform in the playoffs without considerable rust. We went all in with Mahomes , and I’m prepared to honor it. I’d rather have a backup that’s a mid round pick on a friendly rookie deal than fork out any money for a veteran backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
