Andy Reid traded for and brought in a QB day 1…and then immediately started winning.   5 straight winning seasons as contenders before Mahomes became QB.  They couldn’t get over the hump with Smith being so risk adverse.   But QB always mattered to Reid. 

the KC model was never worry about QB last.  

QBs that the Chiefs churned through while Alex Smith was the starter until they landed Patrick Mahomes: Chase Daniel, Brady Quinn, Tyler Bray, Aaron Murray, and Kevin Hogan

If anything, the KC model was to retool the team while a veteran runs the ship and fliers were taken on guys to see if they developed. Once everything else was ready, they went and got their guy.

We're unfortunately following a tear down, so immediately winning wasn't a likely outcome for the Panthers. 😞

      Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."

      Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...

      Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
