For the first 2-3 years of his career, Hill had some pretty ominous possibilities in his background and they were worse than "hey, wanna give me a happy ending? Because this D won't suck itself..."

Yeah, they're pretty comparable scenarios. Now ultimately Hill ended up vindicated, but Chiefs fans were largely indifferent as to the possibility when Hill was making a name for himself here.

This team has been so starved for quality QB play that in a world where we never had Mahomes, the fans would've held their noses and found a way to root for Watson. And frankly, most Cleveland fans are doing precisely the same thing.
