i would never spend big $$$$ on any RB.
What did the Lions do when Barry Sanders was there? The Pats haven't had a slew of great RB's.

Yes, when someone wants to run a decent offense with a good QB or a game manager that's building for the future with RBs being interchangeable. The sum of it's parts are the most important when team doesn't possess an elite QB(Alex Smith, Tiger), but when you have a transcendent QB that his presence alone makes a team a SB contender makes what the team better knowing the window is the present. That's why you hear getting QBs on cheap 1st round contracts because they are building for the future The offense was built to succeed immediately when Kareem was a durable feature back and helped Mahomes accomplish record breaking feats to AFCC inspite of Mr Magoo as DC.
KC faultered in the 1st half because the couldn't convert 3rd and short(s) because Damien isn't elite back with vision, quicks, and great contact balance like Kareem.
The Chiefs positional value represents what helps now considering the SB window thus IOL and RBs have greater value because you are protecting the most important asset that a team could have a Future HOF QB. You don't **** with , just OK " Because Mahomes Bro" because that ideology got him injured because of the workload without elite protection and a 3 down back that can pass protect.
Furthermore, I also hoped "Because Mahomes" would be able to overcome the average RB and OL output. Looking at the CB and LB positions to fill through FA or the draft with high capital. Then Patrick got injured which changed my tune, to help Mahomes as much as possible because he is that printing press we jest .
