00:00It also just so happened to open the eyes of some who maybe now will start to ask if Patrick Mahomes having statistics that show he may not be playing like a top 10 quarterback in football is actually weird for the guy who's supposed to be the best quarterback in football.
00:20I don't think it's unfair to ask Patrick Mahomes to throw for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns I don't think that's unfair at all and yet when you look at the most recent regular season run for Pat Mahomes it's not been good enough the pushback that I always got layoffs layoffs layoffs and then in the Super Bowl assuming you watch the game and didn't just fall victim to the oh he finished with three
00:50touchdowns he was kind of all right it was the defense's fault no no no no Mahomes played the worst game of his career in that Super Bowl all that luck came home to roost on the biggest stage so I ask you this Joe what are you looking for from Patrick Mahomes this upcoming season?
01:10I want to see that explosive playmaker that challenged defenses over the top when he had Tyreek Hill and could score at any point in the game that's what I need to see I don't want to see methodical drives 80 yards and they they kick a field goal and they grind out a six or a nine point win I want to see dominance what we saw in the second half after the game was signed sealed and delivered from him hitting Xavier Worthy two times against the Philadelphia Eagles now with Marquise Brown and Rasheed Rice coming back
01:39in that lineup in that lineup from an ACL you have a playmaker in Xavier Worthy I need to see the five wide and Pat Mahomes chuck it all over the yard if they can do that early in the season I'd buy back into the Kansas City Chiefs I will say I believe that the division the AFC West is much harder now with Bo Nix in Denver and now seeing Jim Harbaugh and Justin Herbert make it to a playoff appearance against Houston it's going to be very difficult to see that type of dominance that we saw out of Kansas City
02:09but I still think that the team to beat in the AFC West and they still in a playoff environment if you're asking me which quarterback would you back I would still back Pat Mahomes in any type of playoff environment because I do believe in him and that's why he's got three Super Bowls Donnie yeah the Chiefs are the best team as you saw that graphic there you know 11 and a half wins to nine and a half and nine and a half but make no mistake about it we'll talk a little bit later about the Buffalo Bills the reason I bring that up is we always used to like the Chiefs because it was a walk in the park in that division
02:39five free victories maybe six in the division that you get and you move on number one overall seed in the playoffs you don't have that now you don't just go into LA and beat up on the Chargers that's a good team you don't can't just go into Denver and say we own the Denver Broncos that's now a really good team and improving at this point and you're not going to get that doormat in Vegas because at least you have a head coach that knows what he's doing and a quarterback that is a veteran he's just going to go in there and walk over him at this point so that is a little bit of a delay but I have to say this I do like the fact that I look at this roster and say all right they're always switching
03:09sometimes when they get to the Super Bowl and it falls apart they try to retool and it works and sometimes it doesn't we'll see if that bounces back but the one thing you are getting is you know Rice back at wide receiver that's a big help another year for Xavier Worthy so flashes of brilliance there and super speed on the outside and also Hollywood Brown on the one side that's a really formidable one two three punch if they stay healthy throughout the season but the one thing we also know is Travis Kelsey is coming back not the same player he was just a few short years ago
03:39injuries and so many chances to get hurt here but as long as you have Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid they're going to be a contender they really are they will be in the playoffs maybe even looking at an 11 to 12 season because again their team total listed there at the nine and a half type numbers there they're a double digit win team no doubt about it.
