Tough life Kliff.........he'll have no trouble gettng a college job when he's ready..........Of course, it's Mahomes. I've posted numerous comments in the past how the Gunslinger turned around an above-average Chiefs team that could win the division & make the playoffs to a SB winning dynasty team (I got the Chiefs winning the whole thing again). Reid wasn't having that kind of success with Alex Smith, who mind you was a #1 OA pick.
The fact that Mahomes is what defines the Chief's offense & makes coaches look very good shouldn't disqualify Bieniemy from a shot at a HC job. Brian Daboll got his shot with the Giants. He was OC at Buffalo from 2018 - 2021 where the reason for the Bill's offensive success is Allen. Bieniemy might do well & turn a losing team around or he might choke. We simply don't know & it's all speculation until he's given a chance.
Too funny. But hey, he's got millions $$$ & a hot supermodel GF - what else would a man need to live a happy life.
Mahomes abilities were really a match made in heaven for Reid as Smith played too conservatively the majority of the time which didn’t take advantage of their skill positions with Hill, Kelce, and Hunt. This was the same team that lost to the Steelers by getting field goal kicked to death and 21-0 with Smith not wanting to risk anything. Mahomes gunslinger mentality and throwing ability opened up the whole field and playbook for them and if they didn’t lose Hunt, they’d probably have won 2-3 Super Bowls in a row.Of course, it's Mahomes.

I don't like this. He was solid in 19 (with Jamies), 20 (superbowl champs), 21 (lost to the superbowl champs in the div round), but one bad season (with a battered O line) and he's out?! The NFL is too "what did you do for me today".
Some quick calculations: Every two weeks he gets a paycheck of $180,769.23, and will through the end of 2026. I'd take a "one way" ticket to live in a mansion on a beach in Thailand with my model GF too!RE: Kliff: we can all bash him, but he's living our dreams now.![]()
Totally agreed with you there. I liked Alex Smith. Always felt he had talent. Very accurate passer. Got a bad deal with too many coaches and OC's. But he was very risk averse. The irony is people said he didn't have a good arm. But it wasn't bad, at all. He just was rarely big on throwing long balls, defaulting to 5-15 yard gains. Andy Reid is as much of an innovative, gambling coach in NFL history as any. But Alex wouldn't bite. Mahomes is indeed perfect for Reid.Mahomes abilities were really a match made in heaven for Reid as Smith played too conservatively the majority of the time which didn’t take advantage of their skill positions with Hill, Kelce, and Hunt.
I'm not so sure about that. After he was cut, they did lose to NE in the playoffs. That game they might have won, and likely gone on to beat the Rams. However, the Rams never should have made that Super Bowl in the first place. The Saints were the best team in the NFL then, and completely shafted on the worst non-PI call in history. A lot of "what ifs...?" A New Orleans vs. KC (with Hunt) Super Bowl would have been a lot more interesting.If they didn’t lose Hunt, they’d probably have won 2-3 Super Bowls in a row.
That is very true and I don’t hold Byron accountable for that at all. He can’t control the oline getting injured. Teams all year were getting pressure with 3-4 rushers. On top of when they finally had a good run or pass there was a holding penalty. Unfortunately it a compilation of things outside of Byron’s control with receivers and Oline injured, dropped passes, and Brady being below his standards the majority of the time. But it’s his job to try and change things around and come up with something new, not keep trying the same things over and over again with no to limited success. How many times do we have to see a run up the middle for -3 to +2 yards on first down, followed by deep ball, then trying to get third and long. They could have tried a lot of things with play calls. And he might not be the oline coach, but he’s the offensive coordinator. The penalties fall on him and the head coach. I don’t think it’s fair he was fired after 1 down year with everything that has happened, especially when he was a head coach candidate but it looked and sounded like it was heading to that outcome.Watching a couple of football shows on ESPN and multiple people saying that Brady takes far,far fewer hits than other QBs and sprays the ball away quickly before they slam him..is that the offensive coordinator? TB good receiver corp and great running back..

They beat SF the following year in the SB, without Hunt. But lost, badly, to Tampa two years ago. I don't think Hunt could have helped much there. Their OL was somewhat depleted, but they also couldn't solve Todd Bowels pass rush and defense that game. Just one extra guy blitz, even stunts by the Tampa D, or overloading one side of the line, seemed to overwhelm the Chiefs, or confuse them, and easily rattle Mahomes. And Tampa played a lot of cover 0 and cover 1 without blitzing, knowing they could cover short to mid. Plus Brady played almost perfect, if not great. Hunt wouldn't have changed that much at all. Last year? Who knows. They lost in OT to Cincy when their D started to tire. Almost the opposite of the previous week's win over Buffalo.
In retrospect, since Hunt was never even charged when his then GF chose not to press charges. He admitted being wrong, and did all he said he would do going to all counseling, more, and has kept his nose entirely clean. In hindsight maybe they should have just suspended him the rest of 2018 without pay, and until the 2019 season training camp, pending a strict set of rules he had to abide by? This wouldn't have mattered in 2018, obviously, maybe not 2019. But he is a very good RB, still only 27 and I think he was an afterthought, not used at his best in Cleveland's North/South running. He's also a good receiver, but the Browns don't play that game, and he's second fiddle to Chubb. I wonder if he'd be welcome back to KC if they pursued him next season? Likely by the players, but the fans? The city? He still likely has 1-3 decent years left, I would think.
Just hammers the point Skip and Shannon have with black coaches and trying or keeping head coaching jobs with their opportunities. And if it is for that reason it is a far, far away message from what Bruce Arians always communicated about equality and diversity.Plus, I don't want hear Bowles ever complain about the lack of diversity when he is the one who is eliminating it (probably with pressure from rich white people).
The way the articles have been going I almost thought Harbaugh was fired for a sec
Well Greg Roman is gone from the Ravens...........The way the articles have been going I almost thought Harbaugh was fired for a sec![]()
Don't you think if Dallas loses...there will be hell to pay? Can you imagine the look on JJ's face as the clock ticks down & his Cowboys are at the losing end of the scoreboard. How does JJ wake up the next morning & face the NFL world knowing his Cowboys have lost to a "Mr. Irrelevant" led team & an overrated coach who is only head coaching because of his daddy. McCarthy might as well join Kingsbury in Thailand. Lol. The Cowboys simply can't lose - the orginization would implode. There's a small window for a team to win a SB these days & JJ has said this Cowboys team is the best he's seen in awhile & a legit SB contender. If they lose, you'll hear me LMAO all the way from the Mile High City.DAL@SF - There are a lot of people out there, including that ESPN super computer, who think the Cowboys can win. The thinking is that the 49ers (translation: Brock Purdy) has never faced a defense like Dallas. Also that the Cowboys offense has a lot of firepower. They can mix the run with two RBs, and throw well to the middle, where the 49ers have been exploited at times. But the 49ers have a lot of tools, and a lot of depth, and are at home. They can gash and slash their way down the field, and slowly grind down teams and take over games. Even in Purdy's "worst" games, drives, he's not been rattled, and adapted. The 49ers haven't been this healthy in about 3 months. Niner backup CB Ambry Thomas is the only player out. Dallas tackle Jason Peters is out.
And losing to his team’s longtime rival.Don't you think if Dallas loses...there will be hell to pay?

I liked Smith too but he was terrible & never lived up to the expectations as a #1 OA selection. And he certainly didn't have anything close to the throwing talent of the Gunslinger. I strictly go with the evidence: Wins & loses & success in the postseason - the benchmark of measuring a franchise QB.Totally agreed with you there. I liked Alex Smith. Always felt he had talent. Very accurate passer. Got a bad deal with too many coaches and OC's. But he was very risk averse. The irony is people said he didn't have a good arm. But it wasn't bad, at all.
