Reerun? Coogs? You're gonna let THOSE guys be the spokesmen for the drafturbators? Because that's about it. Just TALKING about the possibility of Mahomes starting doesn't mean people actually want it, for crying out loud.
Also, one more thing...
Why do those two statements have to be mutually exclusive (ignoring the hyperbole and TIC inaccuracy of the first one, of course)

Much of this I addressed when I made the distinction between demanding a pick because of the position and picking the right person. I like Mahomes because I like Mahomes. I don't like Mahomes because the Chiefs did something different than they have in the past. I make a conscious effort to expunge the baggage of history, particularly history unconnected to the GM/HC of the present when analyzing their present decisions.
The other part I addressed when I made the concluding remark that some think anything that isn't involving Mahomes is a waste of time [or treading water, or waiting around, or whatever you want to call it when you're not doing anything important or productive]. It's not just about whether you want him to start right away. It's also about respecting the present roster and what they're trying to accomplish.
