TheElectricCompany Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Stay at 10 and grab Mahomes in 2017 Calvin Ridley in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I said Mahomes only because I could not have passed up on him at #10 if he was there and Tyrod was my starter. It's still early and we don't know just how this will pan out, but I certainly can't complain. I just hope Josh can keep this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It comes down to how Allen progresses moving forward. If I was forced to make that decision today I 'd go with Mahomes.. but this time next year, maybe even later in this season, Allen could very well be putting up huge numbers just the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 It’s fluid, but today we are firmly in the Allen treD camp. That penalty on him was sort of weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Something else to consider in this While Mahommes and that offensive machine they have down there is very fun to watch and they are playing well....they are winning shootouts because their defense is putrid I feel like we are in the baby steps of biulding the offense and our defense is much further along then theirs is....and sooner or later that lack of D is gonna bite the chiefs in the butt. The last game and a half of this season our defense has been absolutely dominant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have thrown for 260+ and ~12 ypa. Yeah but he also had a couple fumbles and a pretty bad underthrow to Foster that should have been picked. It was fun to watch him have his first good game but so far he's no Ryan Fitzpatrick.? Whole lotta' big numbers getting put up by QB's around the league.

Ramza86 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Id take Mahomes in a second if you told me he could replicate his game with this roster. But its really hard to say because they have much more offensive talent and a system that works for him. May not be the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yav Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Some of you are crazy. KC continues to play weak teams early and everyone gets all impressed. They played the Chargers, 49ers and Steelers all weak ass teams. They will start off hot and pretend to be great and Majoke will look awesome, then they will face better teams and fall on their faces like they do every year. They have no D and they are getting lucky with some of the circus catches, that's not a sustainable formula for winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Seeing as Tre White is my favorite Bill, I'm going with allen/white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) If Mahomes came with Reid and their roster then I might be interested. But I'm happy with what we have in White and Allen. 1 hour ago, BringBackOrton said: Mahomes is still the answer, ya'll are insane. This is the "would you trade EJ for Ryan Tannehill" topics all over again. If Mahomes and Allen are Tannehill and EJ, then I dont want ANY of them. But they arent, and it's a completely different conversation. Edited September 24, 2018 by DrDawkinstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes is off to an insanely hot start and Allen just showed some serious potential today too. Mahomes got to learn for a year and has the best stable of offensive weapons arguably in the NFL, so he has some advantages obviously in terms of where the two are at in development. But, by trading down last year, we got White and eventually picked up Allen this year through a series of trades. So...today, would you rather have Mahomes or the combo of Allen and Tre? Not speculating on what we could or couldn't have drafted...just focusing on these 3 guys since its all we know. Mahomes or both Allen and Tre? Call me a homer, but I still go Allen and Tre even though Mahomes has been as hot as it gets so far. Not a knock on Mahomes, just that I think Allen is going to be great himself and Tre is already an Elite corner IMO. So I will take the 2 great players over 1. This is a great poll and I was just thinking this. Additional draft picks aside, the spirit of the trade is Mahomes for Allen and Tre. Tre is becoming a shut down CB in this league, and a leader for our defense for the next decade. Allen has shown he could be our next franchise QB. Mahomes has had a great 3 games, but it's just that. When Deshawn Watson arrived he played out of his mind as well. Houston with him at QB is 0-3. Plus keep in mind Mahomes sat for a year. Allen is jumping right in and experiencing success. Honestly, to early to call. But if I had to make a decision right his moment, as great as Mahomes has played, I would say Allen and Tre. Those are two cornerstones of this franchise, vs. one guy (Mahomes) who has been playing out of his mind, but over the course of time isn't as great has he has been these last three weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobblehead Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Admittedly I would have traded Mario for Skelton but I would take the current version if Mahomes. I’d like to revisit this after a year of Allen though. I’m not including Tre White until I can include Kareem Hunt.

Allen was pretty bad last week and pretty good this week. He's all hope and potential wrapped in 195 yards passing. Mahomes has been the NFL MVP so far and is blowing up the record books. I know some of you would watch bad football every day of the week if the Bills won 40% of those games but I personally can't unsee the "Tyrod and the turds" passing offense last year. I want the QB who throws 6 TD's and 0 picks. Been waiting for that for a quarter century. We are all thrilled to see Allen making plays with his feet and making some impressive throws.........but that same thing got old with Tyrod when it didn't become more. Until it becomes a lot more.........like Mahomes.........it's not a lot more. If anything I'd say that this question by the OP is out of context........these 2 QB's aren't in the same place right now and it's not really fair to compare Allen to Mahomes just yet. How utterly predictable. 3 minutes ago, dezertbill said: Mahomes has had a great 3 games, but it's just that. When Deshawn Watson arrived he played out of his mind as well.

LeGOATski Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Allen seems to have more potential. Who knows if he'll get there. I like him better as a prospect than I did Mahomes. I really didn't like either that much, though. Tre is a shut-down corner. So, I voted for both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is in uncharted territory and outpacing what Manning and Brees did in their best seasons. Of course he'll slow down. He's not going to throw 70 TDs this year, but he might throw 40+. Insane for a second year player. I find it hysterical that this board is so quick to diminish Mahomes accomplishments while propping up Allen for one game where he played Cpt Checkdown.
