Chiefsfan1963 1,101 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 My name is Chiefsfan and I am a believer. I was and will always will a fan of Alex Smith. I believe that he could have won a SB with either the Chiefs or SF. However, I do believe, barring injuries, Mahomes will lead this team to at least one SB.

He is making what is the hardest position to play in football look like back yard toss and catch. Wow is all I can say. Dude I'm guzzling the Kool-aid bro!

qnet 1,158 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I remember a lot of NFL analysts were saying keeping Mahomes in the pocket was the key to success. I never saw it that way after watching him play. IMO, they were underestimating this kid. He's not just another scrambling QB, he's not even that fast. He's smart and also talented.

I believe what makes him different, is he think's and then reacts vs reacting first, thinking second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,121 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 His eyes are always downfield and he has the ability when scrabbling to throw it 40 yards which hardly any qb in the nfl can do. So you can't cheat on him if he gets flushed out of the pocket. I don't know how keeping him contained in the pocket will help either. By doing that you can't over pursue which gives him that extra time in the pocket to find his wr's and with Andy's play designed as long as Pat can identify the coverage and adjust the play pre snap there will almost always be someone open. The sky is the limit with this kid. I mean he tried to throw it left handed again tonight because he got tied up and on another one he threw it 40 yards with a defender draped on his shoulder. It seems the only issue for us is making sure he stays healthy and avoids any long term injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,426 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 22 TD passes in 7 games??!! The kid has already passed Alex Smith's season TD total in 3 of his 5 years as a Chief. 😲 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Warpaint 3,248 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I had a redskins fan tell me this morning that if alex was still with the chiefs he would be putting up the same numbers as Mahomes....after I stopped laughing I told him to enjoy average alex because he is your problem now not ours HA HA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure of a chiefs fan around who would honestly say Alex could have pulled out that win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just not close to the arm talent or natural feel for pressure Mahomes has. But if your D plays well he will get you a bunch of regular season wins for sure.

Biggjliv4 1,292 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 For awhile I thought Reid was overrated as an offensive "genius," but seeing his entire playbill come to life with this QB, I'll gladly eat my words. Plus, he's not going into shell mode with the lead. I'm loving this version of Andy Reid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLchief 3,126 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Some of the throws he made last night were like watching someone play darts. I mean, literally, darts. Like the game you play in the pub. He has the ability to just "flick" the ball from the elbow, and it goes twenty yards. Most people are fortunate to have it travel 7 feet, 9.25 inches.

Now he has confidence in the offense and the defense looks a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an effortless no look pass to our long snapper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really and truly looks like his offense has been held back by the QB. I never really believed that either until I've seen this fireworks show.

To be fair it's not so much the qb holding it back as it is he now has many more options due to having an amazeballs QB for the first time. No many QBs could execute his offense like this. In my mind only 1 current QB and that's Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
