But I’m surprised Andy kind of threw Alex under the bus. Didn’t expect that one to happen, though I suppose drafting Mahomes during Alex’s prime could be viewed as throwing him under the bus in the first place.

I don't think it was intended to throw shade on Alex.
Look, the offense is much improved with Mahomes. When they ask you WHY, there's not really a good way to answer. Either you're not giving Mahomes any credit, or you're throwing Alex under the bus.
There's not really a politically correct middle-ground that I know of other than a complete non-answer.
I think it's really telling that Reid doesn't sandbag for Mahomes. His rhetoric doesn't really do much to 'calm the hype'. That's unusual for ANY head coach and a young QB.
