And it will be among their skill position players. Mahomes got 4 years with Hill and Kelce - more than many get. He's played his entire career with Kelce and VERY few QBs (any?) have ever gotten that level of consistent production from any weapon, TE or otherwise for a period as long as Mahomes has gotten.
It's the nature of being a QB. QBs have 10-15 year NFL careers. Some longer than that even. And their skill guys are going to have 3-5 years at/near their peaks for the most part. A quarterback is likely to see 3 and maybe 4 'eras' in their career and in each era they're going to have to develop a new normal with the weapons they have.
It's silly to sit here and act like asking Mahomes to work through a rebuilding of his weapons over a season or even 3 is some unreasonable ask. It's what happens in this league to everyone. Quarterbacks outlast their weapons.

this isn’t just some ordinary rebuild where a great qb is proven a fraud because he can’t win without elite weapons. These were deliberate choices we made to make this season unnecessarily frustrating for mahomes.
I mean don’t even get me started about deciding our best path was to turn mahomes into a game manager. But that aside, after our choices were made it was incompetent to put him through 14 weeks of a gazillion versions of WR rotations. This isn’t just about elevating bad talent or mahomes not finding ways to get bad guys the ball anyway. Mahomes has been plenty patient with the drops. I’ve never once seen him even a little mad at rashee for occasional drops. He is frustrated because of wr mental mistakes that have become a laughingstock of the league that turn slam dunks into costly catastrophic errors.
we are at a crossroad of 2 choices. We can either continue on with this science experiment and just tell him to ****ing deal with it. Or we can finally after 14 damn weeks give him something steady to work with the rest of the season. We finally looked like we had some rhythm if not for boneheaded mistakes. So stop leaning on boneheads for the rest of the season
