Yeah, sustained success hardly ever follows the best quarterbacks in the league
. The chiefs have proven to be able to consistently put great talent around Mahomes and yet that will stop? They also have him on a VERY team friendly contract - of which would already be nothing compared to the cap if not for the freak outbreak of covid.
The great nfl fallacy is that its easy to build a team and then acquire a quarterback good enough to take you to the superbowl. Denver are struck in that situation.
