It's a journey. Don't put the cart before the horse.

I think you're misunderstanding.
It's the journey I'm excited for. A journey from a talented young man to a great QB that I want to see carried out by a Chief. I'm 36, so obviously I haven't seen it. I didn't think much of Brodie Croyle, and he didn't disappoint.
When I see Mahomes talk he's so affable and seems almost shy. Incredibly humble. I wonder if he has the swagger. Then you watch him play, and I believe it. He plays with supreme confidence, and that will rub off on other guys.
I just believe Mahomes will be special. I may be setting myself up for a huge disappointment, but I'm okay with that. I haven't been this excited for a season ever. Tyreek Hill turned Alex Smith into an accurate deep passer. Kelce can carve you up inside. Hunt is a grinder of a back who wears down defenses.
I think KC will be unleashing Mahomes and the KC offense on a very surprised NFL next season. KC's pass catchers had more separation per catch than any other group in the NFL by a large margin last year. Guys are getting college open up here.
