Once that type of doubt occurs, careers are usually over.

Right?
I first saw it and thought "nah, we can't get him".
Then I thought a little longer and wondered....well, does anyone have a better offer to make? Wentz would be more valuable than Mahomes...but Ballard was in that war room while they were getting together on Mahomes. The Titans won't move Mariotta and I don't think the Bucs would move Winston.
I still think Mahomes is the top of this year's QB class. When the Jets inevitably get 1.1, that would be more valuable than Mahomes would be and they're a splashy enough team that they'd almost certainly pull the trigger on that pick for Luck (and probably should). But apart from 1.1, I don't see a truly better offer than we could make with Mahomes. And so the question is no longer 'can we?' but rather '
should we?'.
The contract, shoulder and rumors of football fatigue can't just be ignored, can they?
Like I said, I make the deal. But it isn't quite as facially ridiculous as it appears at first glance. There are some genuine concerns there.
