Given the past comments from Mahomes, he would certainly seem to be a valuable asset as QB coach, especially now with Trey Lance. A lot of people probably forget how effective Smith was running the ball. Eventually, he took that one bad hit but that was not the result of a bad decision to run. IMO, Smith would be the ideal QB coach here.
Pass.
Set aside for a minute your lack of esteem for Alex Smith, and consider his background in Andy Reid's system and the regard Mahomes and others have expressed for his assistance in mentoring young QBs. Given all that, why would you not want him mentoring Lance?
Because Alex Smith taught Mahomes how to be a professional and how to prepare. That's a one year mentorship (if that). No one has any idea if he could actually be a good coach or not. Not you, not I, not my buddy Furlow....not a single person.
By the time Alex would be brought in (if he is), we should hope Lance has already learned how to be a pro, how to prepare, etc. Id rather an actual QB coach come in to help Lance progress with mechanics, footwork, etc.
But I know, hate right?
