I think this opening to a Chiefs article on Newsweek pretty much sums up this thread:
"The Kansas City Chiefs currently resemble a Rorschach Test.
If you're feeling optimistic, the club is in a good spot. The offense is yet to truly click, but Andy Reid's squad is still sitting pretty at 5-1. Once everything falls into place, the rest of the league better look out.
But if you're a bit more pessimistic, there is another read on the situation. You could argue that the Chiefs are genuinely underwhelming on offense and the generational talents of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are carrying the unit. Even if the results are currently working out, that's not a recipe for lifting the Lombardi Trophy.
And while KC doesn't really have to have an answer yet—it's a long season, and the AFC West isn't looking like Murderers' Row—the October 31 NFL Trade Deadline does accelerate the calculus a bit.
For a team like the Chiefs, making a trade isn't the ideal option. But, at this point, they'll have to genuinely consider making some compromises to help the receiver room."
