Have you seen Brock or Trevor???

I watched him play with Houston and the Rams and he wasn't any better then 2016 Siemian. I just remember going in to last year with some optimism towards Trevor improving and we saw how that turned out. That being said, Case last year was better then Trevor will ever be, so here's to hoping he can sustain it.

mass hysteria!

quote:

Pat Mahomes has thrown seven interceptions through six practices at Chiefs training camp.
He threw three picks on Wednesday alone. Chiefs OC Eric Bienemy acknowledged Mahomes has experienced "hiccups," albeit unsurprising for a first-year starter with a gunslinger's game. Beat writer Adam Teicher did note Mahomes is mixing in "his fair share of big plays in practice." Practice is an ideal setting for Mahomes to go through growing pains, of course. Regardless, he's likely to be a higher-variance option than predecessor Alex Smith.

It would be the first time he threw a lot of picks and the first time an Andy Reid quarterback threw a lot. It could happen but I don't see what makes you think it will. But now I'm starting to make myself sick with optimism so I'm going to go over the injury report again and shake my head at all the minor injuries that I don't trust are minor.

I think he will throw a lot of picks because

- he is new to the NFL
- he likes to try high-risk plays

we also have gotten used to Alex Smith and his 5-8 INTs a season. That was not normal

When stacked against Alex, yeah it'll seem like a lot.

I'm expecting 28 TD's and probably 14 INT's.

Brett Favre had 28 and 15 and went to the pro bowl and the NFC Championship game. I'd take that.

I've already predicted 7-9/8-8 for the Raiders which is decidedly not good.

Huh, I didn't realize until I looked it up that Janikowski missed playing under Gruden both times he was with the Raiders by a single year. That's...a long damned time in the NFL.

Nah he was drafted under Gruden. I remember them struggling with kicking for years, then I guess Al was all gently caress it and drafted Seabass in the first round (and Lechler in the 6th I think). His first year or so was kinda sketchy but he was consistent since then basically, other than King's first year playing (when he was completely new to holding for FGs).

But yeah anyway I haven’t really had concerns about their kicking game for almost 20 years basically until Seabass couldn’t play last year. I hope the rookies are good and last forever too.

He was so drat hyped coming out of college cause he was nailing field goals in practices and pre game from beyond the 50. Plus I remember one of the reasons being that the Raiders lost 4 games by a field goal or less and missed a FG in each loss, so they could have been 10-6 which would have given them the division in 99.

This kind of thing is why Pat Mahomes could suck hard at everything except heaving it deep and the Chiefs will still score 2+ TDs a game.

If he's good at throwing deep it should get defenders out of the box for Hunt runs. The main things to worry about as a team I think are interceptions and a defense that is sort of easy to move the ball against. Run and pass blocking maybe not as strong as it could be as well.

I think Mahomes will be good and exciting though
