It gets talked about by other fanbases how "lucky" we are to have Mahomes which I've always rejected. Identifying the talent, trading up to draft him and then developing him behind Alex for a year was planned and executed to perfection... there's no luck in that.
However the timing of him entering the league and us paying him and then having, Watson, Kyler, Allen, Hurts, Burrow, Herbert, all being paid after Patrick is pretty lucky. All these guys resetting the market is going to make Patrick's contract look better and better over time...
I think he's now the 6th highest paid QB and probably will be 8th highest paid after Herbert and Burrow get their deals. Plus his guarantee is 1/2 these other guys which gives Chiefs even more flexibility to the deal. Just genius work by all parties and fortunate timing too
