Did Patrick Mahomes solidify the starting job in 2018? That,

[Bellaaaa]

Following the KC Chiefs’ 27-24 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday at Sports Authority Field, beat writer Terez A. Paylor answered Twitter questions about Patrick Mahomes’ first start and more.Authentic Desmond Trufant Jersey

Yes. Bar none. Patrick Mahomes was out there slinging, the backups were playing their tails off. What more can you ask from a Week 17 game with absolutely no playoff implications?Authentic Brooks Reed Jersey

Over the last five seasons, I’ve been consistent on Alex Smith. Through the ups and downs, I’ve continued to say he is a good quarterback, and clear $17 million to spend on positions of need like interior D-line, someone at least half the teams in this league would love to have. He’s done an outstanding job here and he’s raised his game this season. Kudos to him for that.Authentic Andy Levitre Jersey, I’d be really surprised if the Chiefs couldn’t at least get a second-round pick for him this offseason. What’s more likely, especially if he plays well in the playoffs,womens Jake Matthews Jersey, which I could use to build young defensive depth, is a second and maybe a third or so. That would be what it would take for me to move on from him. That would give me significant draft capital, That said, corner, edge rush, etc.womens Andy Levitre Jersey,

I’d feel good about taking that gamble, because let’s face it — The Kid looked great Sunday. He was slinging it. And yes,womens Mohamed Sanu Sr Jersey who is a great guy and a good quarterback and should be remembered here more fondly as time goes on. But he does have an opportunity to become a legend here with a deep playoff run, there are some things he needs to improve on. womens De'Vondre Campbell JerseyBut that guy has moxie, and his ability to throw from different platforms and create something out of nothing is the rarest of traits in the NFL, the great equalizer for a bad offensive line and zero running game. Considering the Chiefs’ O-line is OK and Kareem Hunt is outstanding,womens Taylor Gabriel Jersey it’s scary to think what he could do with an offseason of seasoning and a scheme geared toward his talents. This situation stinks for Alex, and I can’t think of a better story for this postseason, considering the class with which Alex has conducted himself here in Kansas City.womens Brooks Reed Jersey,

The best evidence of this was the way the receivers quickly learned they could never quit on their routes in the game. With most quarterbacks, and many of them were fired up and very encouraged. I’ve never seen a team so happy to win a meaningless game. I’ve got to think Mahomes’ play was a reason for that, if the play breaks down,Authentic De'Vondre Campbell Jersey you know there’s a 97 percent chance the ball isn’t coming your way. But with this guy, the play is never over. When a quarterback can whip absurd throws from different angles at all levels of the defense, you never think you’re out of a game. A 28-3 deficit? Still in it. 24-0? Still in it. Mahomes’ teammates were raving about him after the game, you never know when the ball can head your way.Authentic Mohamed Sanu Sr Jersey And more importantly, though I must stress — for the 50th time — the feeling I get is the locker room is 100 percent in support of Alex, who has earned this last opportunity to show what he can do.Authentic Robert Alford Jersey

I’ve seen a few tweets like this, particularly as it relates to a return to Kansas City,womens Desmond Trufant Jersey I’m not necessarily sure this spells the end for him in red and gold. I think he’ll leave his options open in free agency, and while Tyler Bray wasn’t great Sunday, and let’s face it — if the Chiefs trade Alex, and internally you hear he’s really made some strides when it comes to command of the offense. That didn’t show on Sunday. But you’ve still got to keep three quarterbacks on a roster, Bray could still be a candidate to make the roster. Let’s just see how this plays out.womens Robert Alford Jersey,Authentic Jake Matthews Jersey they’ll need a backup.Authentic Taylor Gabriel Jersey They’ve already invested a ton of time in developing Bray, so even if they sign a veteran to back up Mahomes,
