Let’s call a spade a spade. The “Veach discovered Mahomes” stuff that was pushed like crazy when he took the job was clearly a state propaganda campaign to endear a new unproven GM to the fanbase.
Yes he was the scout on Mahomes and yes he deserves a chunk of credit, but that story was pushed relentlessly and clearly for that purpose. And that’s fine, I have no problem with that and am not surprised the Chiefs did that.
I think Brett has largely done a great job and has done enough on his own merits that we don’t need to try and act like Dorsey had nothing to do with Mahomes in order to prop up Veach anymore.
But the dismissal of Dorsey having anything to do with our success is ridiculous and borderline disrespectful. Even if we say Mahomes was all Veach, he still drafted Kelce, Jones and Hill. We likely aren’t winning shit without those 3. We certainly would not have 3 rings.
Dorsey put together a hell of a core that’s led us to an amazing run and Veach has complement it masterfully.
I’m looking forward to seeing how Veach is able to replace those guys going forward before I crown him Howie Roseman.

What you say makes no sense because they literally fired Dorsey and hired Veach shortly after. It's not as if their actions don't support who they give the credit to. Not to mention, Texas Tech and Mahomes team also gave Veach the credit. Are they in on it too dumbass?
The dude came out there before Pat even played a meaningful snap and told the entire national media that Patrick Mahomes was the best player he's ever seen. Did John Dorsey do that? No, because there wasn't a single person in that building that believed in Mahomes more than Veach. He absolutely sold them too, but he knew this guy was going to be the best ever before he even played a meaningful snap, you can live in fantasy land all you want and pretend that doesn't mean anything.
