I think people forget that Mahomes is simply different from everyone else - and that goes for his training regimen as well. Mahomes trains to lessen the likelihood of sustaining an injury, not necessarily to become a traditional physical freak (see Dad bod). If you watched the quarterback show on Netflix, they highlighted how unique his training is compared to other players in the NFL. The dude literally had his kneecap on the side of his leg- and it wasn't a season ending injury.
Do I want him protected? Absolutely. But there are different ways to go about doing that--either by getting him elite protection so he has more time if he has to hold onto the ball, getting him elite weapons so that he doesn't have to hold onto the ball for so long, or both of those options would be ideal.
