Why don't you ask Mahomes himself about taking a year off under any circumstances and see what he does to you.

They about benched him for the remainder of a regular season game against a non-conference opponent to protect his ankle and Mahomes was about ready to end Andy Reid's career right there on the spot.

why so many thumbs down? You realize we are talking about maybe getting the Manu Ginobili of the NFL? Dude is a hall of famer and played 15+ years, winnign 4 rings. That would be some second chapter, if you ask me.
