Lifefan1 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 After a few days here, I got to thinking. What would happen if the coaches stayed where they are, but Allen and Mahomes switched teams? Or the opposite, the rosters stayed the same, but Reid and McDermott switched places? Which team would be better off? I guess the real question here is: Is what Reid does with the KC offense (creating decisions for the defense that gets players like Kelsey open in tough situations, or getting big runs when needed...) something that is tailored just to Mahomes and his skill set? Or would Allen be just as successful in that offense? Would Mahomes be just as dynamic in Brady's offense here? I guess my real frustration comes from watching teams like the Chiefs get players open in space, when we appear to have so much trouble getting that open space? Is it scheme (from the coaches calling plays), or is it talent (running the plays called)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billever76 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Allen would have 6 straight afccg appearances and 2 superbowl rings if they switched teams on their draft nights Edited January 24 by Billever76 3 16 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kc was a superbowl caliber team when mahomes was inserted into the line up and didn't start until his 2nd year....so allen would get a year to sit and then be thrust into a superbowl caliber roster....come on get off mahomes junk...allen is just as good and I'd take allen over mahomes....the rest of this team including coaching have failed allen over and over again and you can't ever say the same with mahomes Edited January 24 by Billever76 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They year before Mahomes started, they lost in the wildcard round. The year before Josh Allen started, we lost in the wildcard round. There was certainly a talent gap between the two rosters, but Allen was not a good QB his first year starting. Mahomes was the MVP. It’s not a debate, it’s a legitimate fact. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes sat a year and his team didn't trade or cut all their star players and start over on a rebuild his first yr starting.....having a year to sit and learn from a vet like Alex Smith and being molded by the greatest offensive minded coach in Andy Reid was the different between mahomes his first time starting and allen first time starting...you seem to not be taking any of that into consideration and that's the most important details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is he able to put defenses in a bind and we struggle to get folks open in space? Is it personnel or is it scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to run more playaction and move the pocket more. Uses a ton of motion. Not a lot of one read plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 This is why I hate the argument that Mahomes is so much better than Allen. And when people make it, it's always about the TEAM accomplishments Mahomes has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) I don’t think it’s just coaches and QBs. The Bills don’t have a Kelce or Chris Jones. If Chris Jones were on the Bills im confident we’d beat KC at least once in the playoffs. Chris Jones by himself prevented the Bills from scoring a go ahead touchdown with under 2 minutes left. Jones defeated our best offensive lineman. Edited January 24 by Buffalo_Stampede 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh had like 10 passing TD’s, Mahomes had 50. Do you not remember how bad the Bills roster was, especially at the offensive skill positions? Also, 2018 was Mahomes 2nd year where he had 2 full camps, 1 full season under his belt and played in one regular season game already. Plus he had 2 HOF weapons in Hill and Kelce with one of the greatest offensive minds and QB developers in history. Allen had squat...fat KB and a mentally shot Zay Jones who couldn't get open or catch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had better coaching, better weapons, and was the better player. These things can all be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but I mean if Allen played that first season in KC his season would have looked a lot better than it did in Buffalo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Mahomes won a SB and MVP after trading Tyreek Hill. he is in the afc championship game with a bottom 5 wide receiver core. mahomes would win wherever he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
