AxeElf 787 Posted August 12, 2021 An article on how the Chiefs' new offensive line will make Patrick Mahomes even more superhuman than he was already. "...former NFL scout and ESPN analyst Louis Riddick believes that the group could be among the Chiefs’ biggest strengths... 'I think we’re overlooking the rookie sixth-round pick Trey Smith out of Tennessee, who Kansas City drafted, along with Creed Humphrey in the second round at offensive center,' Riddick said on ESPN’s Get Up. 'This guy has been blowing the doors off of people in training camp for the Kansas City Chiefs. Their offensive line is going to be a strength for them and this young man is gonna help lead the way. And the fact that their offensive line is going to be maybe one of the strengths, if not the strength as a unit on this entire football team, you tell me what that means for the rest of the AFC and the rest of the NFL. Patrick Mahomes has one of the best offensive lines in the NFL It’s a wrap, is what it is.'" 6000/60, here we come... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted August 13, 2021 The idea that Haskins was ideal for the NFL was a pretty outlier position, though; you have to admit. Being excited about the Chiefs' new O-line is just endorsing the consensus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember there was a thread speaking doom and gloom for the Chiefs because of the line issues. I said Reid is a smart guy, he will get it sorted. Next thing you know, a few roster moves, signings and good draft picks and wow, it looks good again. I know its early, but so far its looking good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted August 28, 2021 Oh man, the Chiefs just SCORCHED the Vikings on their first drive. Jerick McKinnon was running with the starters, and had a handful of nice runs (3/16). Mahomes hit Kelce for a 28 yard gain, then overthrew Tyreek Hill on a 35 yard TD--but Hill was fast enough to run under it anyway for the score. I mean right in the outstretched hands. A thing of beauty. Basically the Chiefs could do anything they wanted to do. Mahomes' first drive: 2 for 2, 63 yards and a TD. Check the thread title.

AxeElf 787 Posted August 28, 2021 Mahomes after 2 series: 8 of 9 for 117 yards and 2 TDs. 158.3 passer rating. The incompletion? He threw it 20 yards out the back of the end zone to kill the play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted August 28, 2021 I dunno, maybe some of you aren't good at math, but with 3 minutes left in the 1st Q, Mahomes left the game on a 585 yard, 10 TD per game pace. Over a 17 game season, that's almost 10,000 yards and 170 TDs, with 0 INTs. Probly a good value at ADP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know better. by that logic Cam Newton was 8/9 for 103 yards and a TD against Philly. that puts him on pace to score 7000 yards and 68 TDs with no INT. I dont see you drafting him.
