Dude's last few years in the league will have him throwing to guys that may just be entering grade school as he's the league's reigning MVP.
It's a new world for us - the one where our QB is the throughput. It's a strange thing for us to wrap our minds around but it requires that we look at all this much differently.
This isn't "man, how great is it to have Hill around at such a young age so we can have him for Alex Smith's entire contract...?" As young as the skill positions players dotting this roster are, they're gonna be nothing but a memory as Mahomes reaches his Rivers years.

Yep. We certainly don't want to just throw utter crap at the position, but I think we're pretty much done worrying about whether the WRs we have are good enough. As long as Mahomes is here, we're never going to have to do bullshit again like sign Bobby ****ing Engram to be a worthless turd and provide "leadership" to our WRs. Because the guy couldn't ****ing play just as much as Lance Long and the other worthless choads on that team, so his "leadership" is goddamn worthless. From now on if there's a concerning dip in WR talent, Mahomes will take those assholes by the testicles and drag them kicking and screaming into becoming functioning parts of the offense. And idiot acquisitions like Bobby Engram will be a thing of history.
Does anybody seriously believe that Equanimeous St. Brown or Geronimo ****ing Allison are WRs who can cut jack shit on the Buffalo Bills or the New York Jets? Absolutely not. However, you put them through the ringer with Rodgers for multiple seasons, and all of a sudden they look like real WRs. Because Aaron Rodgers is going to throw for at least 4500 yards that season if he has to throw it and catch it himself. Davante Adams is a legit WR1, but somebody has to pick up the slack to get to that 4500 minimum benchmark.
Granted, I'm not exactly looking forward to the day when we have turds like Geronimo Allison as our WR 2 or 3, but I do know that if that day does happen to show up, we're still going to be humming along and putting plenty of points on the board.
