The highest risk of Lance busting imo would be his head gets messed up from the $. When you give 21 year olds millions of dollars its always risky.
I think he will be fine due to the way his parents raised him, but I doubt he will be showing up at practice in that old Malibu anymore.

Or he dates a crazy activist chick and turns into Malcolm Y.

THIS.

Hopefully he is not as dumb as a certain one of his predecessors.

Kap wasn't dumb, he saw the opportunity to flip the narrative on his legacy. He went from people calling him "Krapernick", skipping passes off the turf and getting stripped from behind with his zero pocket awareness to being a modern civil rights activist. His career as an NFL starter was nearing the end anyways, so he got to play it off like he was blackballed.

Love when people expose themselves in threads like these...lol.

One thing I hope trey learns is to be patient and check down when he has to, I mean mahomes just really started to do that and he has looked even better than he has. Lull that defense that throw over the top. It's the bread and butter of this offense. He's smart but I noticed some open guys underneath and he tried a harder pass down the field.

EDIT — Note that this assumption requires you believing it was Kap's master plan all along starting in the pre-season when he sat on the bench during the anthem, crafted in his secret villain lair, where he laid the foundation of his machinations....and that it continued even after he was named the starter....

I mean, there isn't a facepalm gif big enough for this b******t.

No, it means that it started out as a personal protest, and when it got blown up as national news he went with it. Whether people want to acknowledge it or not Kap did jump from a failing NFL career to an activist role seamlessly. I don't blame him for it.

As he matures as a passer, he should use his checkdowns more. To start, I think his "checkdown" will be his scrambling. QBs that can escape the pocket will typically defer to that thinking that there is a bigger play to be had once they are outside the pocket. I think it'll be an inconsistent balancing act throughout the first few years of his career.

Agree with this 100%. What gives me optimism on that part is that Lance doesn't just tuck it and run it, he's looking to pass and did that in college as well.

Yeah, he also did that in the NFL, and it frankly cost him one or two first downs. But that's okay. I'd prefer that to Justin Fields nonsense.

There will be plays where he skips the checkdown throw, escapes the pocket and finds a WR for a decent gain - nice. Then there will be plays where he skips the checkdown, escapes the pocket and throws it out of bounds - should have thrown the checkdown. Thus the life of a young, mobile QB.

Well, I'm referring to when he scrambles away from pressure, and then waits, and waits, and waits, hoping a big play will open up, and then decides to run for the first, but because he hesitated too long, gets stopped.

But this is even a problem on designed runs. He hesitates, and it costs him. I am hoping he just decides to plant and go at some point in the future.
