This is a terrible argument dude. It takes a team. And you are out of your mind if you think “help” for Mahomes is 5 LT’s, Justin Watson as WR1 in snap count and an old at the end of his days HOF TE the last 2 years.

That's my point.
You guys keep acting like he doesn't have anything to work on. My point is that he absolutely does. And the examples I've provided were almost entirely guys who didn't get there until they were later in their careers (or firmly in their primes) and simply knew ways to work around problems.
Mahomes already knows many of those ways.
There's more yet to learn. And the only way to learn those things is to acknowledge them.
Fortunately Mahomes DOESN'T think the sun rises and sets with him. I've said all along I absolutely believe he'll continue to grow and develop as a player and will be able to do the things that Brady and Manning did so often to help his OL out and make them better than they were.
Hint -- that ISN'T running around like he does when he feels pressure.
He can already do things they've never even dreamed off. That raw ability is innate -- he has it and they didn't. And he has the drive they had. And he has the processing power. He just needs to realize there's a better mousetrap to be had here and in situations like that, try to be LESS spectacular.
That's a lesson that can only be learned through time and experience. There's no reason in the world he won't learn it.
Unless he spends as much time convincing himself that we should all just be grateful for what he is as you guys do.
I suspect he won't.
