My point was- you don't take the most dynamic QB in history and try to make him Alex Smith. We had that kind of QB and he sucked.
15 to 20 play drives are Not sustainable. Chiefs need to play their game and force the defense to change, not the other way around.
When the game was on the line- we won because Mahomes did what he does. Alex would have checked down short, punted and hoped to hang on.

You're literally saying exactly this.
The reason an 'Alex Smith' sucked is because he wouldn't take the deep shot when it was there. That will never be a problem with Mahomes. But the deep shot is NOT there, and he's throwing it anyway, when there are receivers open short with a lot of green in front. It happens multiple times a game now.
Defenses know he wants to chuck it deep so bad he will do it no matter what. You have to make them pay for that.
