Yup. Bryce will likely play us out of position to draft a better QB prospect if he plays the rest of the season this well, but we will want to bring someone in from FA.  

It's annoying because most decent qb's can do what he did today, but when it comes down to needing a deep ball out of the pocket or a qb sneak etc he's not physically able to do it. His arm did look better today but it still comes down to those game of inches moments where defenses know he can't do certain things so they can game plan against the obvious alternatives

There is something to be said for finding a way to win. It's hard to figure it out.

Yeah, we don’t have a qb with that trait

I get strong fraud vibes from the chiefs tbh 

They're a pretty mediocre team being carried by an all-time great QB. That's five games they've won on the last play of the game. Literally half of their wins they've had to pull it out literally at the last second. That's crazy.

Same here. This is probably only the second game that I can say I would truly impressed with the way he played. Hopefully he will make me eat crow and be this good for the rest of his career for us. 

There are a few freak athlete talent edge rushers in the draft. Since I doubt we get Travis Hunter, that should be the way we go

Agree. I was really impressed with Young. First time I felt like he was possibly good enough. The Thielen PI in the end zone was a solid pass and the drop by Legette was a perfect pass.

He was on point today, more accurate than I ever recall before. Heck, he was even making decent decisions when no one was open.

Sucked to lose but damn fun game to watch, especially the drive to tie it.

Minus him having a career worst year.

It's really been the defense carrying them.

Their defense isn't bad either. They just aren't the offensive juggernaut they used to be, outside of Mahomes magic

Their offense is plodding.  Losing Hollywood and Rice were huge blows. Losing Pacheco didn’t help either… their screen game just isn’t there.

If he plays like this the rest of the season, they'd better be bringing in another backup level vet, and focus on defense and weapons in the off-season.

Yeah, their D definitely carried them today making Bryce look legit while Mahomes went for three TDs and the scamper to get them in range for the game winning FG.

Their D has been good this year but their overall offense is basically trash. That's what I mean by Mahomes carrying them. Mahomes is 12th in the league in passing while they have a bottom 10 ranked rushing attack and only two receivers ranked in the top 100 (Kelce at 34 and Hopkins at 73).

They honestly looked shocked that they went toe to toe with the Panthers lol. Their locker room speech on TV was like yeah we got work to do lol.

I was surprised by it too but they've been doing this all year. They could easily be a .500 team but they've won every close game.

With some help from some very favorable calls and non calls alike.

Right but there's no reason we can't invest a 2nd or 3rd round pick in another young QB as an insurance policy.

It's crazy that basic notions like this about what is best for the team elicit such emotional tomfoolery and poo reactions.

I can guarantee you if Canales wants to be a successful head coach he feels the same way about the position.

I wonder how many boieez fans are on their board whining about a pointless win
