Just for the hell of it,replace Eagles with Chiefs in following excerpt
 
I seriously hope this isn't what we're reading in 11 years but just in case.

Article from 2013

Now replace Eagles with Chiefs and McNabb with Mahomes...

Not to diminish the contributions of other Eagles greats, but the team only ever went as far as head coach and quarterback could carry them.

Similarly, nobody should ever find themselves in a position where they have to defend enjoying the period when the Eagles lived and died with Reid and McNabb. During their 11 seasons together, the Birds missed the playoffs a total of three times, with only a single first-round exit to speak of. They appeared in five conference championship games and came within a few points of winning a Super Bowl.

This wasn’t some kind of Dark Age for Eagles football simply because it didn’t produce a championship. They were in the mix to win it all every September. Only three or four teams in the NFL could claim to have been consistently as good as or better over the span when Reid and McNabb were at the wheel here. And while it’s easy to say you would trade it all for that one parade—and maybe a lot of people would—how could anybody claim they were not entertained year in, year out? Just think of all the legendary moments that were authored by these two.

At my age and what I've been through with this team you're damn right I would.

What they had is what I always wanted for the chiefs a feeling of being a legit sb contender year in and year out. That is what reid and mcnabb gave philly. They were never like that before just a blip while vermeil was there.

I think mcnabbs eagles were closer to a sb. The only time during marty's time I thought we could was with montana. martys teams were good sometimes great but always need the qb to feel like you can win a ring.

The Eagles were closer to a championship given that they actually got to the Super Bowl.

I was in 3rd grade the last time the Chiefs were in an AFCCG. 1993-94 season.

I would gladly take 5 AFCCG appearances and 1 SB appearance, making the playoffs 8 out of 11 years over what the Chiefs have done in my lifetime.

reid and mcnabb were 7-5 in the playoffs. Smith isnt even close to mcnabb.
