We have the best QB in the game and are legit super bowl contenders while Denver has Herm Edwards 2.0 as their coach, about to have back-to-back losing seasons for the first time in 20+ years and they have ownership problems.
This is our time. Best time to be a fan.

I wouldn't say we are at the highest point since 1970, as Montana did give this city and fanbase hope for the first time in decades, and we were one game away from the Super Bowl.
I think Mahomes has given this city and fanbase the same level of hope as Montana, but it feels different because Mahomes is ours. We drafted him. He isn't a handmedown, or an aging star trying to recapture one last ounce of glory.
And he also makes the fanbase feel like we won the lottery. We chose so poorly in taking Fuller and then Blackledge.
When you pick Fuller 23rd overall, and some guy named Joe Montana is chosen 59 spots later, and a few years later you try again and you pick Blackledge 7th overall, and Jim Kelly goes at 14, and Dan Marino goes 27, as a fan it makes you sick knowing that you missed on 3 HOF quarterbacks.
The collective psyche of Chiefs fans took a beating, and its hard to shake that off. For example, while I was super pumped that we made a bold move and aggressively moved up to take a QB in the first round, when Watson was picked two spots later I said well shit, Watson just made the HOF, because that's just what happens when the Chiefs take a QB in the first round.
But all of that is changing now, and we finally have the QB that will make other fanbases sick when they look back at Mahomes' career in 20 years. Bears and Bills fans in particular will feel sick, knowing they took Trubisky over Mahomes, and they traded down out of the #10 spot, respectively.
