The question was what if Mahomes had gone to one of these teams what would his career look like? He couldn't possibly have gone to a better situation with the weapons and coaching staff. My take was he'd still be a top 10 QB. Wouldn't be winning SB's or MVP's or signing 500M contracts but would still be damn good, probably getting those crappy teams to the playoffs. Thoughts?

I agree. The quarterback is a huge cog in the wheel, but it's still a wheel with a bunch of important cogs. All this team needed was Mahomes. Mahomes needed this team. It's a match made in heaven. If the Bears had gotten Mahomes instead of Trubutthead, they would have had a bunch of exiting plays but it would not have been enough. They don't have Reid, Kelce, Cheetah...etc.
