That's fine, so long as you stick to your philosophy. You don't get to fall back on the excuses and caveats that those more in my philosophy have said have been there always for everyone. You can't 'go wobbly' and start hedging with 'hey, he's still human, and he needs a team around him, and we're counting on the GM to work magic, etc. etc.' That's the HARD WORK you said we had to avoid.

I honestly think you just have zero clue where I, or most posters are coming from with the whole QB debate in general.
I am not and absolutely have not ever said that an elite QB alone is enough to win a championship. All I have ever said is it makes it a whole lot easier to win a title if you do have one. They can at least cover up for
some holes on the roster to a much greater degree than say a QB like Alex Smith.
Prime example is the Packers, who have been a near lock to make the playoffs every year under Rodgers despite having a mediocre to bad roster. If they had helped him even a little in FA the past 5-6 years, they win at least one more championship by now. But his sheer greatness is still enough to at least get them into the dance and give them hope in the playoffs.
I don’t know how much more I can expand on this to make things clear. There’s a reason though that Louis Riddick said, ‘They [Chiefs FO] believe that Mahomes is what will put them over the top.’
