Funny you mention Patrick Mahomes.... He wasn't pick number one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or even nine. This obsession you people have with pick number one is unhealthy. The vast majority of the top quarterbacks in the league right now were picked outside the top five and many were picked much later than that.

And when we trip into the Playoffs, and Sam plays horrible, and this board unleashes all levels of hell on Sam ... then what? Then nothing. We need an elite QB here.

Don't disagree.  I would hate to take the south.  Don't mind a few wins but going to the playoffs would spell disaster.  We'd be one and done.  I hate saying that.

Most fans would rather have a few meaningless wins than try to build to get back to the superbowl 

If there was another Mahomes in the draft, our fans would still want to win 

I guess we really are not football smart 

 
People also ask
 
 
 
Where is Mahomes being drafted?
 
 
The Chiefs ended up taking Mahomes at pick No. 10. The media could not be played.Sep 12, 2022

I actually want the higher pick because I want to at least have the opportunity to get the next mahomes. Having pick 1 or 2 just means there's 8 less teams to get our guy before we pick.

I think the point is you're just as likely to get the next Mahomes at 1 as... Where he was drafted, at 10.

Edit: the likelihood is very low either way lol

People just don't have any patience. They want wins now and Superbowls now.

 

"YES! WE WON! But ... Sam still suuuucks, lol. Sam lololol. He suuuucks."

>>Sam manages to get us into the Playoffs by winning the ugly South.<<

"PLAYOFFS, BABY! But Sam and Baker suuuuuuuck. Put PJ in! Any given Sunday with PJ! Sam suuuuucks!"

>>Sam plays terrible in Playoffs. PJ comes in and sucks too.<<

"F Rhule for Sam! F Tepper for Baker! PJ can't do ANYTHING with this line! DJ sucks! We had a real chance!"

>>Panthers draft a LB<<

"Great pick! It's who I wanted. Corral and PJ are going to battle it out in camp. I see 10 wins!"

I get that. Of course to be able to find that guy you need someone who can recognize and develop QB talent and that's something we haven't had here in a long fuging time.

Mahomes also benefited from a talented roster. I'm sure the chiefs take him higher than 10 if they can, even.  But the reason I don't get stressed is just as many of today's great QBs weren't drafted in like the top 3 as were...

I hate to say it, but if you want to win every week, you are following the wrong team. Ever since Cam got lit up and his shoulder officially died, we are 20-49. We are 0-4 against good teams and 4-4 against bad teams. We are squarely in the mediocre to bad teams.

I’m switching to playoff rooting because I think we do have a shot after all the losses today, especially considering 7-10 could win this division. We have 1 good team left on the schedule so we aren’t in line for a top 5 pick.

We are about as likely to finish in the top 5 of the draft as we are to back into the playoffs.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. But even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
