I knew he was going to thrive getting coached up by Andy Reid especially after sitting a year. My friends laughed at me in fantasy football when I drafted Mahomes early the year Alex Smith left bc I knew Andy Reid adapts his offense to the personnel he has and that KC offense was going to look different.

Kansas City basically got Mahomes for free. He free fell on draft day to number 10. Ouch.
Solomon Thomas at 3 anyone.
Hindsight drafting is cringe.
It seems a lot of posts that I cringe at lately, I look up and see RonnieLott. It's unfortunate, because Ronnie Lott was such a good player and deserves better. Like when I read a post from JoseCortez, I'm like, yeah that makes sense.
MAHOMES could have been w/any other teams.. the fact is SHANNY gave him a very good grade coming out, then went for CJ...
ANDY at least did what he had to do to get a chance to coach the guy... had Mahomes been a bust, at least Andy believe in what he saw..
This argument has been beaten to death over and over again. Trubisky was the consensus top QB, with Watson as the only other guy that was considered worthy of our high draft pick. Mahomes wasn't in that upper echelon, mostly considered a mid first round talent, and even if he was the top QB in the draft, there's no guarantee a guy is going to translate into the NFL.
The Niners had a plan. It was to sign Cousins after the year. I think that plan could very well have net us a SB considering how close Jimmy came with the same squad. Kirk has proved to be a damn fine QB and would have likely won here if Jimmy didn't throw a wrench in those plans by playing damn good ball in his brief post-trade 2017 here.
Again though, it's all hindsight.
What our brass did to trade up for Lance was the type of bold gamble that likely was a result of watching a guy like Mahomes tear the league up. Again, no guy is a guarantee as we've seen. The only thing we can do is give them credit for guys on this roster, and to land Purdy, even though we passed on him through 6 rounds, is a testament to giving your team options and adjusting your plan as new evidence is available. So we didn't get Mahomes, boo f**king hoo. We're in the SB competing for a chip. That's all that matters.
and this is why I say... NO MORE EXCUSES FOR KYLE !!
LETS GO NINERSSS !!!
That being said I love Purdy's game and think he'll only get better bc his presnap is that of a wiley vet. Just curious to see if Kyle changes how he builds and/or calls his offense moving forward with Purdy at the helm.
