The chiefs need to start thinking about building sustainable systems not necessarily the best players. Mahomes is gonna break the bank and you're not gonna be able to have 2 superstar pass rushers, shut down corners, and $30 million receivers. All this team needs going forward is a top tier Oline and a front 7 that can stop the run. All these superstars (especially on defense) are a temporary luxury that will eventually affect the middle class of the roster and even now most of them are 1 trick ponies that are liabilities against the run. The most efficient roster is arguably one with a run stopping front 7 and a good oline. Stop the run with 7 and play coverage behind it. Get pressure via scheme. Protect the QB and move the ball via offensive system & QB talent. It's why the Pats have been so successful and why every other team with upper tier franchise QBs have struggled majorly at some point.
The colts were a 2 win team without Manning.
The packers morphed into a 5 win team even with Rodgers
The Saints morphed into a 7 win team even with Brees and set a record for defensive futility.
The Chargers morphed into a 5 win team even with Rivers.
Yet the Pats won 11 games with Gus Cassel and didn't miss a beat with Garrapolo.
Systems over players.
