I love Reek and in an ideal world wish he was still here, but he forced our hand and we had to do something. The Chiefs decided it would be more beneficial to the team long term to not make Hill the highest paid WR in the league, to use his cap space for other assets, and to use the draft capital to continue rebuilding the next incarnation of this team around Mahomes.
But this situation basically comes down to 2 viewpoints:
1. Either you believe in Mahomes as an elite playmaker, the best young QB in the league, etc. and if that be the case, ultimately, we will be fine with him and what we surround him with.
OR
2. You are of the opinion (that many outside of KC share) that Mahomes is a talented, but mediocre QB who is simply a product of the system he's in and the weapons placed around him and can't succeed at a high level without the Reek's and Kelce's of the world, etc.
So ask yourself which side are you on?
Either you believe in Mahomes or you don't. It's really that simple.
