Even the best defenses fail. You need points on the board to win football games.
It's gonna come down to us asking 15 to deliver the goods, no matter how elite the defense is.
Why make it harder for him to do his thing?
You keep a line in front to keep him upright, and keep his arsenal stocked with weapons.
Rashee Rice and Justin Jefferson certainly make the inevitable retirement of Travis Kelce a lot less terrifying, while setting Patrick Mahomes up to have success for the foreseeable future, and not asking him to make chicken salad out of chicken shit on a weekly basis.
The Chiefs couldn't score 3 touchdowns reliably last season. It was as unbelievable as it was tough to watch. 3 touchdowns used to be a slow first half. To see that become the top of the mountain for expectations with 15 under center, that's just not what you want to see.
This team goes as 15 goes. You build around and support 15, the guy is gonna deliver.
Keep relying on Jags and even if 15 does everything perfect, the scrubs can still screw it all up.

Even the best offenses fail, too. Ours did. The Patriots undefeated one did. They all can.
You need a complete team. That's how you maximize Mahomes.
