Whether he actually supplants Smith this year, who knows, but this is likely the end for Alex in KC.
Of course the biggest thing Mahomes has going for him is the Bills and Browns passed on him. Avoiding that kiss of death is always key.

After last night I would say his job is safe for now, as it should be. Don't rush Mahomes in as a starter and if Smith keeps playing like he did last night the Chiefs can take the time to do that.

*disrespecting is too strong a word but i can't think of another.

Not sure I agree. 4th and 1 and in the opponents end of the field you odds are pretty decent you make it and even if you don't it leaves the Chiefs with a long field. Plus you (coach) are sending a message to your offence that you have confidence in them which will pay off in the long run.
