I think I know what might be really hindering this franchise. ( I might be wrong)

Are you saying Mahomes is great just because he wants it more than any Bengal?  You do realize that the Chiefs have only won one playoff game in the last 25 years, right?  So it has nothing to do with tradition.

Here lately the Chiefs have had:

A) A superior head coach

and

B) Far better GM’s than the Bengals.


Put both of those together, and you get a better roster that lines up with the head coach’s vision. It also helps when the GM doesn’t accept average (Alex Smith) and goes for a potentially better solution, even if it means cutting bait on average. The Bengals rarely do this as it makes players uncomfortable. Average and middling talent usually gets to play out the life of a contract in Cincy.
