However, I do think that if all other facets of a team are equal, you have a much better chance to win a championship with Mahomes at QB than say Smith, or any other game manager type of quarterback. Especially if your defense is just middle of the road.
So whereas you may feel like the defense needs to be top flight regardless of the QB in order to win a SB, period.... I believe that may not be the case with Mahomes. Kid just may need to get hot in January with the defense playing just good enough to keep up.

Not 'lost' I'm well aware that you're on the Rodgers paradigm. I'm more cognizant that even Manning and Brady fell short when the defense wasn't there, or even go back to 0-4 in SBs Elway when he didn't have a complete team.
Even in today's NFL, high flying offenses whose defenses wilted short of the SB far far outweigh just about any other team concept in the playoffs.
And whatever level of defense and running Mahomes will need, it's a pretty good bet he'll need more than the Chiefs have had in 20 straight years. You may think Mahomes will be just enough to overcome giving up 28-35 in the 2nd half of a playoff game, but history isn't with you.
