The franchise’s attack is built around the signal-caller’s great qualities and abilities.

At 28, Mahomes has already won three Super Bowl titles and is on his way to a fourth.

It’s natural that with all the fame and success comes more responsibility to deal with the whirlwind of things that happen.

As KC’s greatest leader, it’s normal for the weight to fall on Mahomes’ back, especially after a defeat.

Often during the season, players give press conferences to talk about the game, their impressions, what was done well and what can be better exploited/corrected for the next game.

They need to face reality as it is and remain calm even in the most difficult moments.

The media can be cruel – and anyone who thinks that the players themselves are on the sidelines and don’t keep up with what’s being said about them is mistaken.

Pat Mahomes, in an interview on the Riggles Picks podcast, commented a little on his strategy when it comes to dealing with press conferences.

“It’s part of the profession. It’s part of being a quarterback and having to stay on that podium and talk win or loss. And yeah, I think what I’ve done and mastered is being able to say a lot of words without saying anything at all.” said

“That’s my go-to whenever I get a question I might necessarily like; I’ll just say a lot of different words, but it really means nothing,” he admitted.

Kansas City’s quarterback confessed that, whether he likes the questions he’s asked or not, he basically spits out a few words that make sense syntax-wise, but don’t actually mean anything.

In the podcast, the hosts tested Mahomes to see what his answer would be to a question about a hypothetical game.

“Yeah. I mean, it’s always great to get out there and do whatever you can to try to find a way to get a win, but at the same time, it’s not always going to go your way,” said Mahomes. “And so for us, it’s about going back to the drawing board, putting in the work, and then seeing what we can do next week.”

Sustaining a dynasty means having very talented and, above all, young players at your disposal. Youth is the key.

Looking at KC’s current squad, there are plenty of young players, but the team’s stars are no longer so young. Two examples of this are Travis Kelce and Chris Jones, who are now 35 or thereabouts.

That’s why the work needs to start many years earlier. And the organisation seems to be on the right track.

With the great mission of 2024 in mind, Brett Veach opted for a mix of veterans and youngsters. Experience combined with freshness.

The offense, led by Patrick Mahomes, includes older players, others of average age and rookies.

Travis Kelce, Isaiah Pacheco, Rashee Rice, Creed Humphrey, Joe Thuney, among others.

This year, the franchise hired and drafted new names. Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy and Jared Wiley…

The defense, one of the youngest in the NFL, is led by the voice of experience: Chris Jones. Along with him, Mike Pennel Jr, Drue Tranquill, George Karlaftis, Trent McDuffie and many others make up the unit.
