Remember when Lebron said he "scratched" a play from David Blatt that ended up being the game winner? I think it was in the playoffs, but I could be wrong.
We finally have a QB with the balls to "scratch" any play given to him from the coach just by letting it fold in on itself and improvising. And he will usually produce pretty good results when he does that.
Aaron Rodgers won a Super Bowl with another fat loser in Mike McCarthy. And is Dom Capers really all that more innovative than Bob Sutton?
Andy Reid has never had a QB like what Mahomes could be. Not since Favre, anyway, and that's not when he was a head coach. If Mahomes reaches his potential, anything is possible.
Have faith in the QB Death Cult Religion. The more dogmatic forms of it insist that a REAL franchise QB is so powerful it can even make your defense better. I don't know if I'd go that far, but I definitely believe in its power to heal the ills that accompany a coach who is a freaking dumbass.
That will take time. It probably won't be next year. Maybe not the year after that. But if Reid is still around 3 seasons from now and Mahomes has developed into the guy we think he all is, you need to have faith, dude.
