Sure seems Veach is following a version of the Billicheck/Brady model:
Elite QB
Great O-Line
Good defense
JAG's at WR and RB's
Don't give players past 30 new contracts

The Belichick model worked in part because they were willing to play smash mouth football, run the football, and convert in short yardage. Brady also rarely turned the ball over.
KC refuses to run the football consistently and are one of the worst teams in the league in short yardage. The JAG receivers are forcing Mahomes into making mistakes and turning the ball over 1-2 times a game. The Belichick model won’t work in KC. Also, that model worked in part because Tom Brady was generally not the highest paid QB. Trying to replicate that model here is a recipe for disaster.
I mean, we’re seeing the results now of what the offense looks like with JAG weapons and it isn’t pretty, even with Kelce.
