QB: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs

Graham Tiedtke

Patrick Mahomes quickly made a great impact on the Kansas City Chiefs. Before starting the entire 2018 season, he played in one game his rookie season in 2017, completing 22-of-35 passes for 284 yards and an interception.

That was enough for the Chiefs to move on from their previous starter Alex Smith. They shipped Smith off to Washington, paving the way for Mahomes to start every game in 2018. Mahomes was the league MVP in 2018, throwing 50 touchdowns, over 5,000 yards, and just 12 interceptions.

Mahomes is extremely talented. He makes throws that one would think are nearly impossible. He even showed that he has the ability to throw with his non-throwing arm.

You cannot forget about his running, either. Mahomes is a dual-threat quarterback and defenses really need to be on their toes when defending against him. With the offensive weapons the Chiefs have, it is scary facing that team.

It is frustrating to admit it, but Mahomes is so much fun to watch. Well, except when the Chiefs are playing against the Denver Broncos. He is just so good.

With the unknown of how Joe Flacco will perform for the Denver Broncos and the fact that Derek Carr really isn’t very good, the only debate here is Phillip Rivers. Give me Mahomes all day, though.
