This thread brings up an interesting point. Conventional wisdom is that the NFL is so balanced that it is unlikely teams will repeat as champions. But the reality is there are only a few quarterbacks that are elite enough so their teams are likely in contention for the Super Bowl and winning it. so if you have one of those quarterbacks, and you can build a good team around him, the odds are pretty high you will be in Super Bowl contention.
That was the case with Brady for many years. Its the case for Mahomes now.
And Kansas City really doesn’t have many real challengers. Probably only Buffalo and Cincinnati. and maybe the boroughs doesn’t even fit as an elite QB. He is too susceptible to injury. I’m sure others will argue that There are more quarterbacks that should be added to this list, but I really don’t think so. I certainly would not add Lamar or Herbert.
Looking at things this way puts a completely different perspective on the likelihood of dynasties. They are actually quite probable given how few unicorn QBs there are.
