Reid wouldn't have 'played the slice' with Jackson the way Roman and Harbaugh did. He'd have done everything he could to try to make him a better passer in a system that could occasionally incorporate his legs.

Don't get me wrong... Mahomes on this team means Super Bowls. Lamar on this team means more of the same that we had with Alex.
So have him run the classic WCO without the deep throws and give him even more designed runs and options than he did with Alex.
It wouldn't be nearly as explosive as what Mahomes (or 2017 Alex) ran, but it would get the job done. KC could continue losing in the playoffs to superior teams when the going gets tough against better QBs like they did under Alex.
