So take away Kelce, and what happens to mahomes?
I think an easier way to think about it might be to just put both of them on the Jets with their weapons. Now which QB succeeds (makes it further in the season?) and which doesn't?
My money would be on Mahomes, but I may be a tad biased.
Bottom line, I think Josh needs Diggs more than Mahomes needs Kelce.

Heck, there was a report that the Chiefs coaches believed Tyreek was preventing growth for Mahomes because he kept trying to force the ball to Tyreek instead of throwing to someone else who might be more open.
I think there is still some of that going on with Mahomes & Kelce as well. Patrick said in the press conference Sunday evening that he tries to go through reads in the right way, but he abandons that process when he notices Man coverage on Kelce. I tend to think Josh Allen probably has the same issue with Stefon Diggs as well. Even a very experienced Aaron Rodgers was guilty of this with Devante Adams.
