Without question. Last year was the best year I've ever seen as a Chiefs fan. Even this year with the injuries and other issues, because so many discounted Mahomes' talent, intelligence and performances, so it was great to see him perform at an even higher level to shut all of the negative Nancys up. Except the ones on here, anyway.
I guess all my years as a Blues fan have helped me be more patient than some Chiefs fans. I waited nearly my entire life, over 40 years, for the Blues to finally win a championship.
We had great offensive teams, great goalies, great coaches, etc. for thirties years and more. We went to the playoffs more than any team in hockey at one point. But could never seem to get a Cup.
Then last year, in the most improbable of ways, with an interim coach, no superstar players, a rookie goalie, and in last place half-way through the season, they turned it around and won it all by doing it the hardest way possible.
So I look at this team, with all of the advantages they have, and then look around the AFC, realizing that Brady's days are almost at an end (possibly Bill's as well), and (barring injuries) I see a very bright future for this team. Yeah, there are going to be some stumbles along the way, and we'ev had several this year, but Christ on a crutch, we're just 29 games into the Mahomes Era. You'd think more people would just be happy that we finally got our franchise QB, the best HC to guide him along the way, and a corps of great weapons to work with. The Texans got Watson, but then spent how many years fumbling around because of Bill O' Brien? And Watson's still not as polished as he should be. He's already behind Mahomes.
If you look around at every other team in the league and what they have and what their ceiling probably is, and then look at our Chiefs, we've got it really really good. Actually we have it better than any other team in the league right now. We just have to be a little patient and have a little faith, and just enjoy the ride.
