I think he looks older slower and injury prone already. Maybe he recaptures his magic but the thing that made him so difficult in the past was his absurd playmaking from his athleticism. He did scramble a few times last night but looked much slower than years past.


If Mahomes scrambling last night is where he is at this point......Chiefs are fine.

f they can run the ball like the did last night, they will be there for sure.


Hinging the season on a RB carrying the ball 20+ times a game is bold. He'll get hurt at some point.


I would say every NFL starter gets hurt/dinged up throughout the season, the question is the severity and the ability to play through the pain if the injury is not considered severe.

This seems impossible. 18 air yards COMBINED for all Mahomes completions last night?

Mahones should have at least another 5 years of high level QB play.

Last night was fun and Walker will be ok our backup rookie RB Emmett Johnson looks good enough to give him rest. The issue is our WR'S are not getting separation and running bad routes. That has to change immediately or game 1 will be forgotten quickly.

It’s been almost 4 years since Mahomes has been able to push the ball downfield. He has been a stable mid level QB the last 3 seasons

And that’s coming from someone who said his first 86 years in the nfl was the best of all time

Define "high level". He's been pretty mid the last couple of years.

Denver had one of the worst tackling performances I’ve ever seen. Mahomes only had 180 yards passing, and I can think of three plays off the top of my head that totaled maybe 5 air yards, but resulted in 100 yards receiving because of awful missed tackles.

Yeah he has been pretty "bad" the last few years, but one thing he did well the year they had that horseshoe up their asses before getting beat by the Eagles in the SB was that he was clutch in key moments. Like he would just summon his former self.

You start thinking about it at 35

If a qb you like falls to you then take him

At one point in the game he was 3 for 13. He was far from elite last year and as a Chiefs fan I think they should be looking in the next two years draft unless they have the guy already in the fold.

so he did his job and threw to the open players who made plays after the catch? I’ve never understood this knock on a qb. Same thing was said about Brady and Bree’s.

No, the same was not what we saw Monday. 18 total combined air yards is almost unheard of man. Hasn’t been seen in 20 years….

uhhhh....in like 8 years

lol. He’ll be lucky to play 5 as a starter. He was awful last night. His arm is a wet noodle. That INT was laughable. QBR of 50.

Turns out the horrible INT wasn't Mahomes fault, Worthy ran the wrong route. Also I think a lot of teams are regretting not getting starters some playing time in the preseason.

Getting Walker and keeping the D up to par is the best way to preserve an aging QB. Not everyone plays to 40 and Mahomes is obviously declining but with a run game and D you can get him to the spots where he can continue to win games for you. Chiefs have done exactly what you should in their situation.


Peyton Manning Denver Broncos comes to mind.

Patty Cake is done. He's been a lucky system QB for the past 4-5 years and that was before he ever had to deal with a major injury. He will be forced to retire by age 35 or so. He's Horrible. Lucky for him, he has a great play caller, great RB, great defense and refs in his back pocket. Otherwise, he'd be out of the league in 2 years.

They better find some receivers then.



Not that I disagree...but for context they won Super Bowl 57 with:

#1 JuJu Smith-Schuster
#2 Marquez Valdez-Scantling
#3 Justin Watson
#4 Kadarius Toney
#5 Sky Moore

And Super Bowl 58 with:

#1 Rashee Rice
#2 Mecole Hardman
#3 Marquez Valdez-Scantling
#4 Justin Watson
#5 Richie James

I mean...yikes.
