We will get a glimpse of this today, no doubt.
As to the Chiefs' winning formula, Alex does his part. The failure thus far is when other key parts of the winning formula are missing due to injury. That is when the winning formula fails.
Yet, people expect the QB to pick up the slack for these missing components. Is that fair? maybe.
If we are to call this fair, maybe we should take a look at other QBs... better regarded QBs.. when they are lacking key components to their team's winning formula.
How bout we swing for the fences, and go right after Aaron Rodgers?
AR won the SB back in 2010 on a stacked GB team.. why has he not gone back to a SB since? He's elite, right? why could he not overcome any deficiencies that they endured since?
The popular answer seems to go something like this.. "uh well, he won one already, so he gets all the slack he wants!"
Yes, as said.. he did win it back then.. on a stacked team. What happened that made him unable to win again on a team that started showing cracks in the perfection?
If anyone "feels like playing this honest game" for perspective, throw other QB names out there, and defend why they couldn't get past their multitude of team injuries and problems.

The fact that Aaron Rodgers hasn't won a Super Bowl since 2010 is not justification for settling for mediocrity or below.
Wonder how that 2010 team would have done without Rodgers that year....???? I wonder how they would have done with Alex Smith... Probably not good because in the words of the great Mike Singletary:
