The other 10% of the time is one you have one of the best young quarterbacks to EVER play this game on your roster. We are in such an outlier spot here. This isn't even Russell Wilson, IMO. This is a guy who has a chance to be mentioned among the 5 greatest passers of all time. This is a guy who's talent is such that it just changes everything.
So in this instance, precisely because of one thunderbolt of an event, my philosophy is different than it would be in virtually every other instance.
I get it - not everyone's gonna agree with me here. But I've used this phrase before and I mean it - the Chiefs are stewards of one of the most incredible players to come along in decades. Everything they do has to be with an eye on his entire career and not just some lunatic dash to win a championship over the next 3 seasons.

Fine.
But with the NFL being what it is and the way it's set up, I just don't know that you can do that. I'm also willing to bet Mahomes comes to earth a little at some point, just because Chiefs.
I also get it. But I also feel that doing it the way you are saying here is how you end up with the Aaron Rodgers type career where you're always looking to the future and the long haul and forget that at some point, you've gotta just do it and win it a few times.
