The problem is that the initial action is taken before there's time to consider if it's the right thing to do. And if you are on a slick surface, the decision puts you on a path that you can't change.
If the Chiefs had drafted Josh Allen, which is a crazy idea since they already gave up their draft pick the prior year for Patrick, I believe the Chiefs would have won the first SuperBowl where the big plays played big part. Since then, the Chiefs have become a much more methodical offense and I'm not convinced the Josh would be as successful at that.

It really is all these intangibles that sets mahomes apart in a league where we’ve been blessed with some really good QBs. As great as Mahomes is physically what used to set him apart doesn’t as much anymore. He’s elusive… enough. Lots of other guys with a rocket arm and off platform shit. He just has a mental edge both as a leader AND a teammate.
And josh Allen is a perfect example of how hidden Mahomes’ talent is. Because Allen has all these things too. Mahomes is just better in ways that are hard to describe. Casuals still want to see mahomes highlight reel and miss that he’s got this MJ mentality to back it up.
