It's funny because for decades we desperately tried to reframe the Chiefs' existence as more than it was (who wouldn't) and make up a narrative of "just make it into the playoffs and anything can happen" (narrator: it did not happen).
You just can't change the reality that you need a franchise QB to be consistently successful in the playoffs, and even one run to the SB would have been a small miracle.
So now we have that franchise quarterback and a few people want to continue changing reality, that the Chiefs are somehow in trouble every year for whatever reason.
Uh... sorry? You're stuck with a floor that's basically the AFFCG most years Mahomes is healthy (hell, even the Packers made like 5 NFCCGs with Rodgers despite their lack of success from that point).
You can't change reality that teams with franchise QBs have a huge advantage over the 28+ teams without.
By the time some people catch on, Mahomes could be retired and we'll be back to the first reality... and maybe some people prefer it that way? :shrug:
