We just don't know about Speaks yet and those who predict that Mahomes will outplay what Smith did last year are basing it on hope, not history of rookie QBs. The Chiefs could get off to a very rocky start or they could start like last year. The odds on Mahomes dominating early in the season against a very tough schedule are long. I've got as much invested in the Chiefs as anyone, but have to be realistic. Fair enough. I was just playin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Andrew Luck's first year? Like you, I am willing to sacrifice w/l record this year to give Mahomes a chance to excel. Yes this is technically his second year but he only played in a meaningless game last year. Andrew Luck and Peyton and lots of really good quarterbacks struggle their first year because they are going to 2-14 teams as the number one overall pick. There's quite a few that fall into good situations that don't have that early struggle. Dak was 13-3 with 23 TD's and 4 interceptions. Russell Wilson 11-5, 26-10. Tom Brady 11-3. Rivers was 14-2 his first year as a starter with 22 TDs and 9 picks. I think it's more fair to compare Mahomes situation with Prescott or Wilson than Luck or Manning.

DieHard 2,061 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 We are funny. Smith drops 368 and 4 TDs on New England with a 148 rating and we say he had a pretty good game. Pat pulls 284 and pick against Denver with a 76 rating and we cream our jeans. I give Pat 6 games before half the fans turn on him and long for Watson. Not saying the fans here, but those that call in to the radio and comment on articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be a buzz killer, but the expectations for Mahomes seems pretty unrealistic in many cases. The Chiefs defense hasn't been good enough to keep turnovers from giving the other team scores and I expect plenty of turnovers. Give the O-line credit for providing a rookie the opportunity to win a rushing title, but their pass protection could have PM (Mahomes, not Manning) scrambling and making inexperienced decisions.Long term, the Chiefs made the right move and hopefully it will work out, but those who are touting a Chiefs' super bowl appearance this year are overreaching IMHO.

jetlord 10,210 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 More likely it's set up to be great offensive years in 2019 and 2020. Use the extra draft choices next spring to fill defense, TE, and O-line. Things are looking up for the future. Not such high expectations for this year.

SEMO 6,812 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 @ LAC - Loss @ Pitt - Loss SanFran - Win @ Donks - Win Jags - Loss @ Pats - Loss Bengals - Win Donks - Win @ Cle - Win Cards - Win @ Rams - Loss Bye @ Faiders - Loss Balt - Win LAC - Win @ Hawks - Loss Faiders - Win 9-7 Wildcard The best that I see right now is scratching out a wildcard spot. They will start slow and the hysteria will begin. Mahomes will start to figure it out and they will have a small win streak when the schedule softens mid-season. Then they will do enough after the bye to sneak in to the show, and then who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West 6,714 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 This is a great thread....Chiefs have FAR exceeded expectations in 2018 and Mr. Mahome is the odds on favorite to win the MVP. Wilks, I think you can agree that this was one of our best seasons ever? w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mloe68 1,521 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I had us 9-7 and Mahomes at 25 TDs, 15 INTs (which is still a really solid essentially rookie season.). Needless to say no matter what happens now the team and this QB have WAY exceeded what I thought was possible. I’ve definitely gotten my entertainment value from this season!
