That's pretty much it. I don't think he's the greatest of all time, I don't think he's flawless or even close to being flawless... but I also don't think he deserves the level of hate that comes his way. I think he works hard and does his best to win in the way that has proven effective for him, at this level.
I hope he does it this last year with the Chiefs. I don't see him having much of a chance if he starts over again next year with another troubled team.

Great post, man.
Have to wonder, even if they liked Alex Smith.. would the xenophobia still exist?
( seems the love for the new Mahomes fans that just came over here have answered this )
