Dude has played so well they want to see him compete with the first team. He's done a super job so far as a rookie QB.

quote:

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday there's a chance Nussmeier could start and finish the game.

Reid said the original plan was to play Nussmeier and Justin Fields at quarterback, but that won't happen.

Quarterback Chris Oladokun also remains in concussion protocol following Saturday's preseason game.

“I’m sure they all would love to play a full game, and he now has a chance, potentially,” Reid said.

Nussmeier has been working with the team's first team offense this week.

“He looked like he stepped in, took it on, and had good leadership and tempo,” Reid said.

Being fit and protected by a professional o-line goes a long long way obviously.

If he doesn’t Uncle Rico away a bunch of picks or fold like a tent when they inevitably bust his arse he’ll have a career methinks.

They're probably trying to get his trade stock up. Obviously this is Mahomes team but if it looks like you have a weapon back there, somebody will pay good money. A player like Nuss, as good as he's playing, is a sound insurance policy behind an injured PM. But he's also like the Pats building up Garoppolo, Brissett, and Cassel. Future trade asset.

Settle down a little. He threw for 70 total yards, 4 yards a pass last game.
