But

..we didn't. There will be others.
Don't know if we would use him the right way.

Reid maximums his skill set so well.
This team has not showed the creative play calling over the last year and a have.

What does that even mean? Shurmur's play calling was creative enough to make Nick Foles a MVP candidate in 2013 with 27 tds and 2 ints. Sam Bradford a MVP candidate in 2016 and Case Ketchum also look like a MVP player in 2017. Not exactly HOF level QB talent. But now all of a sudden his play calling isn't "creative". Fans...ugh.
He's be sitting

Don't have Andy Reid.
Would love to see the Chiefs in the Super Bowl  
Oscar : 11/15/2018 9:24 pm : link
And would be happy for Andy Reid if they won it. Would be a welcome change from seeing New England every year.

Agreed. People are quick to jump on Shurmur IMO

It might be Shurmur is like Norv Turner. Great OC, can't cut it as a head coach. Hopefully that is not the case.

Sam Bradford and Case Keenum were not MVP candidates. Get a grip.

Reid is arguably the best in the league at developing QBs. His scheme is one of the best in the league. Mahomes went to the perfect spot — got to learn the offense for a year and step right in with elite talent around him.

I seriously doubt he would’ve been the same guy behind the Giants OL, in McAdoo’s scheme, with Reese picking busts.

They go into detail on his generational arm. For example how he can flick the ball 20 yards down field with just his wrist. Fascinating read.

He probably would be #3 qb behind Tanney  
Doomster : 11/16/2018 11:03 am : link
and not dress for games.....
Remember when everyone said that QB class sucked coming out  
PatersonPlank : 11/16/2018 11:10 am : link
Mahommes, Trubisky, Watson, yeah they all can't play.

Just goes to show you what the "experts" know.
How is it realistsic that we ever would have been able to get him?  
Blue Dream : 11/16/2018 3:00 pm : link
We drafted 23rd, he went 10th probably have to give next two first rounders to move up that far. For a guy that a lot of people thought was no where near ready to play in the NFL. Was never going to happen even if macadoo had sold the higher ups on him
I wish we could of gotten Barry Sanders.

Hasn't Andy Reid always called his own plays?  
Greg from LI : 11/16/2018 4:14 pm : link
Because I recall that being one of the knocks on Brad Childress when the Vikings hired him - Andy Reid's OCs really don't have all that much responsibility.
I grew up with a kid with an arm like that ...  
Manny in CA : 11/16/2018 6:45 pm : link

I had a very good arm - 70 yards+, but that kid was like a little god.

We were playing football one day, one of the other kids tells him - "show them your arm", he uncorks a 100 yard throw !

This is the first writing that I've ever seen of the effect that I saw 55 years ago - towards the end of the ball's flight, it seemed to speed up !

Unfortunately, his story was like many in that neighborhood - wrong friends, crime, jail.
Here's Mahomes "easy" 100 yard throw .....

Thats fake.....just like the idea that you can throw it 70 yards or more.
I'm 71 years old, Chopper ...  
Manny in CA : 11/16/2018 7:42 pm : link

(With a bad hip); I'm lucky to just crawl into bed and pull the covers over myself. I'm talking back when I was 17-18 years old.

I read, long ago, that Jeff George could go 90 yards+, other big arms include JaMarcus Russel, John Elway, Bert Jones
