Chiefs are getting an awesome discount for the next 6 seasons. A fully developed, age 30-35 "prime" version of Mahomes at $45-50M salary is very likely a bargain compared to inferior QBs making similar money in the years 2025-2030. Plus I think there is a pretty good chance the back half of this contract will be torn up and restructured. So it's kind of a silly aspect of this contract to be honest.

I agree.
The critics aren’t going to see it for what it is, which is why they are morons. Comparing Mahomes’s hit to that of an average-good QB will tell the story of what we’re actually paying him. That difference is what we’re actually losing, because we have to have a QB. Mahomes will always MORE than make up for that difference.
