Kansas City Chiefs fans should be prepared for the worst this season

The expectations are sky high for several young additions for the Kansas City Chiefs. Can they live up to them?

This offseason has been a crazy one for the Kansas City Chiefs. From the trades of quarterback Alex Smith and cornerback Marcus Peters to the acquisitions of wide receiver Sammy Watkins, linebacker Anthony Hitchens, and cornerback Kendall Fuller, there have been changes made all over this team.

While fans applauded most of these changes, there is a genuine chance that this could all blow up in Brett Veach’s face. That is not to say that what Veach did was terrible, but there are questions all over this team even with the addition of these new players. There are still issues that the team needs to answer.

While this is true of all teams, it seems especially true of the Chiefs this season. If we start off looking at the offense, most would agree that first-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes is in the best possible situation he could be to start his career. Having weapons like Tyreek Hill, Watkins, Travis Kelce, and Kareem Hunt all on the field at the same time will give Andy Reid the ability to add quite a few wrinkles to the offense. Add in the return of running back Spencer Ware and center Mitch Morse, and the offense looks set all across the board.

The thing is, the offense is going to succeed or fail depending on Mahomes. Everything is going to depend on just how fast he can get used to being a week in, week out starter in the NFL. He will struggle at times either way, but it he plays subpar the team will be subpar. If Mahomes is as advertised, then the team could very well flourish.
