Now we're paying the piper. And two of those guys, Clark and Mathieu, are the fire for the defense and this year. They are too distracted to lead. Couple that with spags being completely off early in the season. As many have pointed out, our defense last year was good enough that arguably 1-2 pieces could have made them excellent. So I don't think the D is nearly the shit show we think it is. It's just Murphys law where any small thing that can go wrong has for this defense.

Tom Brady had 4 distinct phases of his Patriots tenure and in all those 4 phases his supporting cast was essentially completely different.
Mahomes will have the same thing. He'll have 3-4 different 'primary crews' over the course of his Chiefs career.
Now tell me - just how confident are you in Veach assembling the next one? Because that resume of his is pretty much whatever credit you want to give him for Mahomes, a coupld of good 3rd day picks and a bunch of overpays.
