Ultimately, the decision on a No. 2 quarterback for the regular season is more about Mahomes than Bray. But Bray can make the choice a difficult one by playing well. He has had some big moments in preseasons past.
"It's a competition," Bray said. "The season hasn't started yet. I don't think it's a set depth chart."

The owner, CEO and Chairman Clark Hunt, said after practice Tuesday that he would like the Chiefs to remain in St. Joseph. Just like Chiefs President Mark Donovan. Just like Western President Robert Vartabedian.

Chiefs’ Alex Smith says it's crazy Colin Kaepernick is out of job | The Kansas City Star
“It’s hard for me to comment on it,” Smith said. “I don’t know. Lot going on in that landscape right now. Certainly when I was there, he was playing at a really, really high level, right? Had a lot in front of him as far as a career goes. He was playing really good football.
“Crazy to think he’s not playing. Yeah, that’s a crazy thing. As good as he was playing. Young, strong, I felt like he had a long career ahead of him. Crazy that at this point he’s out of a job.”
Smith said there was “no question” he’d welcome Kaepernick onto a team, citing his respect, work, and passion, and there is enough in here to have an idea about how Smith feels.

Should your rookie QB be given strong consideration to start?
No. Alex Smith has won more than two-thirds of his regular-season starts for the Chiefs, so he deserves to keep his job until either he shows he's in decline or one of Kansas City's other quarterbacks proves he's better than Smith. Neither of those things has happened yet.

Chiefs close successful camp at Missouri Western | The Kansas City Star
Quarterback Alex Smith called this year’s edition the best training camp he’s attended in his five seasons with the Chiefs.
As talented as the defense is, I don’t think they can go on a 2000 Ravens / 2002 Buccaneers / 2015 Broncos type run in the playoffs and shut everyone down. And 13 seasons into his career, I don’t see Smith suddenly having the light turn on and stay on for a three or four-game run in the playoffs.
With Kareem Hunt added to Spencer Ware in the Kansas City backfield, Hill isn’t going to get the ground work he did last year. He’s going to get more targets with Jeremy Maclin’s departure, but at current ADP, he’s being drafted where his results were last year, and that leaves no room for error.
