I saw this post today from a guy who I see a lot of takes from on Chiefs twitter, and it got me to thinking quite a bit..

I'm not even going to go safe with my Mahomes projections. I think Mahomes shows everyone he's a top 5 QB in the NFL, even in his first year as a starter. He has top 5 talent, a great HC, a year to prepare, a dynamite offense around him, and the drive and desire to be great. - @Super_G_Chiefs

I don't post that to suggest his words guarantee anything, but it made me realize that it is kinda funny how so many just automatically jump to the conclusion that we're destined to take a step back next year and that Mahomes will look like a rookie... not everyone expects that. But it seems to be the mean of expectations.
Its a little strange given how many young, first year QBs we've seen in recent memory go out and kill the competition when they were given a great situation to step into. It's hard to imagine a much better coaching + surrounding cast combo than the Chiefs have for 2PM in his first year. Hopefully they can improve even more this offseason with a few moves.
Kid has a real chance to blow the roof off of the league in 2018 IMO.
