It's why 3-peat's don't happen.
The Disease of More.
It's already cost us a guy who's probably gonna end up in the Hall of Fame. We're fortunate that Kelce plays a position that's largely undervalued or it might have cost us another (not Kelce, but potentially Jones due to the money Kelce could've commanded).
It's damn hard to keep great teams together. And sooner or later this team's gonna decline. The odds of another HoF pass catcher walking through that door are pretty low as Kelce declines. Or as Jones declines, the odds of us getting another interior lineman that can destroy creation like he can aren't great.
It's just the nature of the beast. We're in rare times.
I'm fine acknowledging that while also saying that our QB isn't playing up to what we know he's capable of.
