Do I trust Mahomes will do it every year? Of course not. That was a borderline miracle.
But it's not as if they didn't invest anything at all in the WR room. And it's not as if there were some spectacular options out there who would've been wonderful fits at that price point. And it's not like they just hoarded the money and didn't deploy it to other offensive positions like, say, tackle that might also help the offense go.
This isn't about having the best WR corps or the best offense. This is about having the best team. I don't love putting the weight of the world on Mahomes to play at an MVP level each year and lead us to a SB, but I also think it worked last season when most of you (and me) didn't think it was possible. And I also trust that the leadership of this organization isn't blind and stupid, sees what we see, and is willing to make adjustments if things don't work out this season.
This is the long game. And judging by last year's success we've wildly outperformed expectations thus far. The jury is out going forward, but guess what? That's true for every team that didn't win a SB against our 'garbage men' WRs from last year.

Our team goes as our offense goes. Of course you have budget constraints. But do you really want to go into January relying on the defense to be the stronger side? I want the ball in mahomes’ hands. I want him to close games. That’s why you have games like today and week 1 that feel lukewarm. Our defense was dominant but our offense was average. And it doesn’t sit right right me.
I’m quite happy to replicate what won us last years Super Bowl. Yeah it definitely works. look, obj was part of that equation too. Doesn’t mean I don’t think a better LT makes us even better. And that’s where I just don’t agree. Right now we have a complete starting lineup on defense AND depth. If we’re being honest we have less than stellar results on offense. Our big swings (obj, ceh, mecole… we will see on Taylor) werent great. we’ve thrown a few second round picks at WR while other teams have been going on an absolute run on first rounders. We just feel like the offense has a way higher ceiling than we get credit for even in spite of being very successful without it
