Andy Reid would sacrifice pinky toe righ

Andy Reid, formerly of the and currently of the , is one of the game's greatest active coaches with 183 wins, a winning percentage that is hovering over .600, and 13 playoff appearances in 19 seasons. But as Reid gets set to enter his 20th NFL season as a head coach, there's one accomplishment that's mi sing from his Hall of Fame resume: a Super Bowl win as a head coach.The absence of a championship isn't lost on Reid. At the NFL's annual meetings this week in Orlando, NFL.com's Dan Hanzus asked According to Hanzus, Reid "did not hesitate in his answer."His response? "Right now."As Hanzus pointed out out, Reid did win a Super Bowl as an a sistant coach with the , so it's not like Reid is ringle s. But given just how succe sful Reid has been as a head coach, it's understandable why he'd be willing to part ways with one of his toes for a Lombardi Trophy. After all, fair or not, coaches and quarterbacks are judged on Super Bowls, not regular-season wins and lo ses. If Reid's career were to end right now, Brad Boxberger Jersey he'd be known as an incredible coach who, unfortunately, didn't have what it takes to win the big one. That's probably not fair to Reid, but it's the way most of the sports world judges coaches and players.If coaches were judged solely on wins and Adalberto Mondesi Jersey lo ses, Reid's legacy would already be secure. As the Eagles' coach from 1999-2012, he posted a 130-93-1 record, which comes out to a .583 winning percentage, and took them to the playoffs nine times in 14 years. Somehow, he got even better in Kansas City. In his five seasons at the helm, he's gone 53-27, which comes out to a .663 winning percentage, and has journeyed to the postseason four times. Put together, And if the Chiefs find succe s this upcoming season, he has a chance to move all the way up to No. 8 all time. He needs four wins to surpa s Chuck Knox for 10th place, eight to pa s Dan Reeves for ninth, and 11 to move past Chuck Noll for eighth. Bill Belichick is the only active coach with more wins than Reid.But ... about that postseason resume. For as much as Reid will be known for his creative offenses and regular-season succe s, he'll be remembered just as much for his postseason duds. There was his failure to manage the clock in and . There were playoff collapses, like in January 2014 when and this past postseason when . Reid' Melky Cabrera Jersey s postseason record sits at 11-13.So, is this the year the Chiefs finally get Reid what his heart desires? Probably not, but don't worry, because better times could be on the horizon. By switching from () to second-year quarterback (), the Chiefs hurt their own chances of qualifying for the playoffs in 2018. Mahomes has started one game in his career while Smith is the experienced, steady starter who knows Reid's system and would've been more than capable of getting the Chiefs back to the postseason. Mahomes will likely endure growing pains. There's no escaping a young quarterback's learning proce s. If the Chiefs kept rolling with Smith, they likely would've continued their current run of succe s.But there's no doubt that Mahomes gives the Chiefs a higher ceiling long-term. Smith is a fine quarterback, but if the Chiefs' lack of playoff succe s has told us anything, it's that Smith isn't the quarterback who can carry a team to a Super Bowl. Mahomes, with his insane arm talent, is Whit Merrifield Jersey that quarterback. His raw skill set is undeniably higher than Smith's. We... PATRICK MAHOMES GOING DEEP! NFL (@NFL) PATRICK. MAHOMES.This man makes MAGIC happen. NFL (@NFL) You guys...PATRICK MAHOMES And with the INSANE catch.Wow. NFL (@NFL) ... and again in his Week 17 start. I can't watch the KC/DEN game and not tweet this throw. We are all Roby's disbelieving shrug at the end. Mahomes is not human. Seth Keysor (@RealMNchiefsfan) It's been a rough day. Take 2 "watch where the WR is when Mahomes releases this ball with a blitzer in his face, as well as where the placement is," and call me in the morning. Seth Keysor (@RealMNchiefsfan) 3rd and 14, WR Wilson makes sure to take his route past the sticks for Mahomes. But MAAAAANNNN. A defender is completely unblocked, Mahomes moves to his left and with the guy sliding off of him throws a STRIKE!! Look at him swing his right hip through and torque..Disgusting. Cover 1 (@Cover_1_) Had a Broncos fan say "if only the starters were in. lol foh" in response to a Mahomes gif. I never refuse a request , so here you go. Enough starters out there 3rd play of the game? Seth Keysor (@RealMNchiefsfan) But again, temper expectations in 2018 because there will be growing pains. As Chris B. Brown so aptly put it last August, He'll likely learn those things during the upcoming season. Mahomes's development under Reid will be fascinating to watch in the years to come. A suming Reid does get the most out of Mahomes -- I mean, he did just turn Alex Smith into the league's highest-rated pa ser -- the Chiefs figure to be a scary team in the years to come with running back , tight end , and receiver already well entrenched as some of the game's top playmakers. All that's mi sing is a top-tier quarterback -- and, well, a Burch Smith Jersey solid defense. But hey, seven years is a long enough period of time to build a championship team.
