Well, not just Mahomes, but his weapons are going to take a hit. As T4W just said above, Kelce is 31 years old and plays a very demanding position. I'd be shocked if there WASNT a huge dropoff over the next 2-3 seasons.You have a point, but on the other hand you could have replaced Mahomes with Rodgers in that paragraph and it would have been completely true a decade ago. And yet, just the one championship. Go back another decade further, and replace Mahomes with Manning and that was also true. And yet, just the one championship (that he had any responsibility for).
The first thing to go is speed. Hill is 26. For every long career like DeSean Jacksons, theres a handful of Mike Wallaces or Dante Halls. Even without injuries, hes four years from 30. Hes not built like a Randy Moss gazelle. Hes small, compact, and doesnt have the natural gait to keep separation as he ages.
Mitchell Schwartz is probably their best lineman and is 31. Next season is his final on his contract, and hes going to want to cash in. Osemele's best seasons were with the raiders, and hes also 31. He signed a one year contract to rebuild valued, and hes going to be looking for one last cash in.
The future is bright for KC because of Mahomes, but we just saw Seattle wrestle with building around a QB after his cheap contract ends. And weve also made excuses for Patriots poor drafting as they continuously draft at the back of each round.
So, before we crown Mahomes with anymore titles, let's see how they do when it actually gets hard. The last few years will be the easiest they have for a while. And they "only" got 1 SB.
