How is this any better what Mahomes did last year with Donovan Smith at LT and the cast he had at WR when he went on the toughest playoff road in NFL history (by DVOA) and won the SB as the underdog against otherwise much more talented teams?
The idea that there's any longterm problem with Mahomes is silly. He's completely fine. He had an excellent season again in 2024 after early September (when his LTs were getting him killed) until Sunday night (when his LT again was getting decimated over and over and over again).
Get him a productive left tackle that isn't getting blown up for the entire game and profit.
