Just... never forget. Never forget how TRULY lucky we are to have him.
We averted disaster on draft day in 2017. We all heard about and knew that Payton, Arians, O'Brien, McAdoo were in love with Mahomes and all wanted to pull the trigger on him.
Well, apparently Telesco wanted him, too. He balked at the last minute. But we were definitely close to not only missing out on Pat, but seeing him go to a ****ing division rival.

Hell, the Bears GM had Mahomes #2 on his board behind Trubisky. If that Bears GM had decent instincts, Chicago ends up with Mahomes.
What I will never understand (and maybe I'm extremely biased) is how anyone could look at the college career of those two guys and think Trubisky was better. Mahomes had way more experience and showed better talent on tape. He's a more natural football player, period. This wasn't some rocket science that needed to be figured out. Look at the college tape, it's there.
Perhaps the best thing that happened for Kansas City was Jared Goff going #1 from the Air Raid system and then looking like a MEGA BUST in the 2016 season, right before Mahomes would be under scrutiny for the 2017 draft. The whole "system" thing was everyone's silly attempt to talk themselves out of Mahomes being a super special talent at QB.
Bears GM must have fallen for the "system" nonsense with Mahomes, while failing to realize that Trubisky's lack of experience and lack of natural playmaking ability WOULD be a problem at the NFL level.
