Folks are irrational when it comes to our sweet bi-racial angel.
But the bottom line is you'll never put a good enough line in front of him. A) 1 hit is too many for us and B) He just plays a style that's probably gonna get him hit on occasion. He's insanely competitive, he doesn't quit on plays, he's convinced he can find a throwing angle or take a step one direction or another and a path will open up for him.
And hell, he's usually right.
But his style alone will subject him to hits. Its similar to Watson but in a far more thought out way. Watson simply doesn't have a feel for the pocket and a slow release. So he's gonna get hit no matter what kind of line you give him. FFS - the guy made Tunsil look bad and that guys an amazing pass protector. Meanwhile Mahomes has neither of those problems but no matter what kind of line you give him, he's gonna get hit on occasion because that's the way he plays.
So "I want Mahomes upright at all times" just ain't gonna happen. But because he's as important as he is, we're always going to be seeking it. So the OL will always be something people want upgraded even if it's in pretty damn good shape and even if the opportunity cost is fairly severe.
