How about we start all protecting each (expletive) other and come together, you feel me? It will be better for it.”

Chiefs to face Deshaun Watson, issue of whether they picked right QB | ESPN
Though comparisons at this early stage may not be fair to Mahomes or the 4-0 Chiefs, Watson's early success is a reminder of the cost of possibly making the wrong decision.
