heres another thought i have about the situation. Can your team win without Mahomes? i dont think so, but their division sucks...how long will he be out for... we should know in the next couple of days...
If im the Chiefs GM I get the Giants on the phone. The Giants are danny jones team now, they dont need to bench him even if his play has declined. i know Eli is not elite and he's probably not going to hit a streaking hill 55 yards down field. He's a free agent after this year so there wont be any long term financial considerations like if they wanted to try to get Foles if he is magically healthy in next 10 days. Moore is also known to take some hits and try to be gutsy, i dont see him making it thru week 17 and into hte playoffs as a starter.
i always liked Moore but we all know what he is as a qb, and up and down gunslinger. he's going to make you scratch your head with alot of throws and wow you on others. If you think you can have mahomes back by the Division Round or Conf championships i think you have to make some kind of push like this. not that i have anything against moore he hasnt been on the best teams but he's never won a playoff game and looked horrible in the one he did play in.
I'm just saying ill pull for moore, and eli really isnt alot better, i just think he is marginally better but you need 2 until mahomes get back, especially with Moores injury history. think eli would approve of a trade to go be a starter again and have another shot
