Trubisky is just very, very bad. I think Nage did well just to make Trubisky ever look decent.
Mahomes was so talented and so skilled that he was always going to be at least above average. Mahomes in Houston would not be what he is in KC. However, Watson in KC wouldn't be what Mahomes is. That's not a dig on Watson as he would be elite. However, Mahomes has won a SB and become the best player in the league in record time. I would argue that no one has played QB at an overall higher level than Mahomes has overall. And, to top that off, Mahomes at his overall best, is superior to Manning, Marino, Brady, Favre, Elway, etc. He would have been great in any era.
It cannot be overstated how good Mahomes is. It cannot be overstated how quickly he became great and elite.
I can understand how at the time of the draft someone might have preferred Watson to Mahomes. Watson was the better known quantity, he was also vastly underrated coming out of college in the eyes of some, which indicates how horribly underrated Mahomes was.
