Big numbers, lots of wins at times but incapable of putting a team on its back and winning, no matter the situation and no matter how poorly the defense has played throughout the season and game.
Mahomes is clearly a Hall of Famer and a generational QB that will completely change the game of football over the next two decades. He's Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Steph Curry wrapped into one.

Trent Green, yes. Alex Smith, no.
This fanbase wanted to win a Super Bowl. It was pretty obvious that a guy that plays the game like Alex Smith wasn't ever going to win one. You don't win big games playing things close to the vest every down.
So no, it wasn't about having a HoF QB. It was about having a QB that was good enough to win it all. AKA not Alex Smith.
