If Mahomes ends up busting (and I obviously hope to hell he isn't a bust, and I think he will be good), fans would eventually become anti-Mahomes.
Don't act like you haven't been through that situation before. I'm sure when the 49er fans drafted Smith, there were plenty more optimistic fans in support of him the first couple-few years than there were in 2010. Or 2011-2012 for that matter.

Oh, I very much have been in that situation.. which is why I am calling it now.
There will be every excuse handed to Mahomes... and that in and of itself is ok. That's typically what fans do for their QBs that they have hopes for.
The difference here will be.. the extreme hypocrisy in excusing this one, when there was not an inch of latitude extended to another.
You're right. I have seen it with my own eyes, as a somewhat former SF fan. It was and still can be hilarious to read people defend one with similar lines that they once condemned others for using on another.
