And, worth noting, Andy Reid is well known for choking, whereas Mahomes has already proven to be clutch as hell. If Dee Ford lines up onside last year he's very likely already a Super Bowl champ working on his second.
I get it, you're a Raiders fans and it sucks knowing a guy with the potential to be the greatest to ever do it is in your division for the next 10-15 years. And what sucks even more for you is you are currently stuck with the absolute worst kind of QB in Carr: Not bad enough to tank, not good enough to win anything with. So you basically have, well, Alex Smith. You need your Mahomes if you're ever gonna get over the hump.
And Watson would not be doing what Mahomes is if he had Reid. It's a nice thought, but his arm talent isn't in the same league as Mahomes.

Watkins is leading the team receiving in the playoffs helping them get into their first SB in 50 years so that's hardly irrelevant. Nothing to do with being a Raiders fan and just calling it the way I see it as there's not a QB that hasn't looked considerably better under Reid. That's just a fact. With a washed up Jeff Garcia he even went 5-1 in the last 6 games of a season to make the playoffs, win a playoff game, almost two with a close loss in New Orleans that went to the final drive. Reid is THE QB whisperer. It's not even debatable IMO that Mahomes would not be the same outside of Reid's offense. He would still be elite but not as good as he's looked with the Chiefs. Anyone that debates this clearly hasn't paid attention to what Andy Reid has accomplished as an NFL head coach.
Also why do you reply so much with spite in this forum? The Raiders weren't even part of the discussion but you had to throw that in there just to take a dig at the team I cheer for. Are you like this with everyone in conversation as not everything has to be confrontational you know? Also what's your team as you like to take digs at everyone's teams here yet don't disclose who you follow. You should let us know so we can take digs at your team as well since you like to dish it out so much.
