Chiefs fans will be in an odd and new and scary awesome spot when Mahomes takes over. We'll be rooting hard for him, but we'll be forced to temper that excitement with the knowlege that there will be growing pains. If we don't make the playoffs next year, there will be the usual homers who will pine for the days of the "great" Alex Smith, and there will be noise from the talking head naysaysers about the wisdom of letting the "best" quarterback the Chiefs had in a generation go for an unproven gunslinger.

We gotta get through that shit. We gotta stick with the plan we've all been praying for...drafting and developing our own star QB. We have to give him time. I think we will. I know I will. Just think of Mahomes as your own son, watch him learn and be patient and believe in his abilities. In other words, detach from the imperative of winning and enjoy the ride. I believe the winning will come. The future is brighter than it's been in a very long time. We need to all believe in that.
