Gugny Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I am thoroughly enjoying watching Mahomes' season unfold. He seems like a great kid with a good head on his shoulders, which is why I think he'll sustain this kind of success for years to come. However .... his 2nd year as the starter will be very telling. I do think that the amount of weapons he has at his disposal is a significant factor in this year's success. I'm not sure what their WRs' contracts look like (whether this offense will be largely intact for a few years). Plus a full season of "tape," for opposing defenses to dissect could make a difference. But this team is a lot of fun to watch. I love his interviews and his attitude. He showed immediate class last year by refusing to be on billboards/become the face of the franchise while Alex Smith was still the QB. I just really like the kid and I hope he continues to kick ass.
Warcodered Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) The questions I think people have with Mahomes is how he'll deal with adversity. Problem is the Chiefs have done so consistently well that it feels like you can't get a read on that though that's definitely a problem that's nice to have. Edited October 22, 2018 by Warcodered

If our policy was what I wish it was (and many other posters too) he probably would be a Bill. I.E. try to draft every QB that has a chance of being good and keep doing it all the time until one sticks. If you are doing that every year, Mahomes is probably a Bill. We might suck much of the time between QBs, but we do that anyway! At least my approach yields a good QB now and again.

The bills are following their own path The Chiefs ( pre Mahomes) had followed a similar blueprint as the Bills at the QB position, not spending a high pick on QB for a long periodic time since the ‘83 draft. ( we all know the Bills used their 1st rounder in 2013 and 2018) . Somehow, since Kelly’s last season in ‘96 the Chiefs have managed to make the playoffs 8 times and finished with a winning record 11 times. Not nearly the Bills level of futility. The Bills have been on a path of futility almost since their inception. Edited October 22, 2018 by Boatdrinks

He's helped greatly by the plethora of weapons he has to take advantage of. If Nathan Peterman had that same supporting cast...well, he's still suck. But at least he'd be a little more fun to watch sucking. I agree. I can't help but think if we did have Mahomes Bills fans could still run him out of Buffalo because he lost to NE---especially if it happened twice in 1 year.

I make a NEW topic that says please use this one to discuss PATRICK MAHOMES. You list half a dozen grievances about the Buffalo Bills 40 minutes later.

This is all on our loser HC Sean who thought it was more important to draft a DB. QB most important position in sports period..... This a a passing league and the losers want to run the ball and winners are passing teams. I am sorry but Allen looks like the guy in college that everyone warned not to draft, he runs because he can throw accurate enough. That is a fact, went small school and looks like a bust. Then we watch Mahomes chewing up the NFL and looks like the next great QB. , Very sad what losers Sean and Beane have done with this roster traded Darby/Wakins and MD . How do you quote my original post, presumably reading: "If you want to re-litigate the 2017 draft, then I'm sorry to say that happened 18 months ago and there is a 48 page topic that you can read that discusses it extensively." and then follow up with this? 38 minutes ago, GG said: Wouldn't that be reserved for the December 23rd celebration?

mead107 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 He could be the next Drew Brees or Payton Manning ?
BuffaloHokie13 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Part of this shows how game-changing it can be when you hit on a draft pick or 2. In the draft where KC took Mahomes and the year prior they selected Hunt on day 2 and Hill on day 3. In the draft where we took Allen and the year prior we selected McCloud and Proehl on day 3 and Zay Jones on day 2.
Wayne Arnold Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 1 hour ago, Formerly Allan in MD said: Aaron Rodgers Nah, I disagree. I don't think following a legend who doesn't want to retire is exactly ideal.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 KC has elite talent across the board on offense. Top 3 WR, Top 3 TE, good O-Line, Top 5 RB and Sammy looks jacked out of his mind. The depth that KC has on offense is also amazing. It's would take us at least 4 years to acquire that kind of talent and that's if we got lucky. KC will be the next dynasty in the NFL.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I like Mahomes a lot. Liked him in college. Didn't know for sure obviously if he would turn into a franchise guy and he's changed a lot since college. I'm totally convinced however, if he started this season on the Bills with these coaches and this cast, he would be lousy. He would look lost.
