And yes, somehow you still haven’t figured it out yet, but having a great quarterback makes things easier in the NFL.

1. Being elite for as long as we expect Mahomes to be here is pretty indistinguishable from being generational. A 'generation' is, at the VERY outside is 1.5-2.0 QB careers in length. More reasonably a full QB career could be considered an NFL generation. And being elite for that duration makes you a candidate for being generational.
2. I have absolutely 'figured it out.' Of course being a great QB makes things easier. But I've also witnessed the regression in JUST THE FEW MONTHS from 'he's the next great thing, and the only thing we need to cement a dynasty immediately' to 'hey, he'll have hiccups, and may need team help, and really it's all a crapshoot. but here's hoping in a few years or so. . . . Veach, Veach, Veach!!'
My beef isn't, and has never been, the performance of Mahomes. It's the bullshit ever evolving rhetoric of the QB-centric fanbase.
