Note: I'm fine if Mahomes wasn't your pre-draft #1 QB in 2017. If you preferred Deshaun at the time, whatever. But when we pulled the trigger and traded up to get our first home-grown franchise QB, you damn well better have been at the very least hopeful and excited.

I can tell you the exact moment I found out about that pick from the aghast Denver radio jocks. It was raining, hailing even on I-25 as I was driving (I had to pull off). It was a special, special feeling. It felt like a dawn of a new era.
I had ridiculous expectations for Pat. Sometimes I even wondered if my expectations, predicated on being perpetually disappointed by the Chiefs in January since the Elway era were unfair for him. He's gone on to exceed every single one.
