Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and his (in)evitable regression

History repeats itself. The cyclical nature of it all has been a cliche for some time—because it is true.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had one of the best seasons in 2018 for any quarterback, ever. Given that his season was such a historical outlier, he must be due for regression, right? That seems to be the cycle with quarterbacks: that a great year usually precedes a season of regression. With Mahomes, however, that may not be the case.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has had some amazing quarterbacks play for him, starting when he was a quarterbacks coach all the way through coaching Alex Smith these last few years.
