Even troll rival fans can sense greatness upon them.

I think anyone who has paid attention expects at least moments of wowee whizzbang out of Mahomes much sooner than any later.
But as I've constantly stressed, most outside the fanbase still see it as a team game, and we're still going to have to build a champion 'the hard way.'
Assemble as much competence as you can at every position and at every level of the organization,
groom a few superstars who can be unleashed when the entire team gels,
and pray like hell for good health when everyone is in their prime
A QB alone, even a superstar, gets you the Lions of the past decade.
An offense alone, even one full of superstars, gets you the Vikings of the 90s.
Bad health and bad gambles at key positions get you the non-SB years of the Falcons or Panthers.
You still have to do ALL the work, even if a superstar at QB relieves some tension here and there.
