And your evidence that Mahomes would have been fine? Right, none. A completely unsupported opinion. What Mahomes himself has said and thought can be seen a bit in this article from Albert Breer written about his first start of his second year: https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/09/14/patrick-mahomes-kansas-city-chiefs-andy-reid Here's an excerpt: “I made the right read and got the ball into his hands,” Mahomes said on Thursday, from the Chiefs facility. “Just stuff like that, where you don’t have to make the amazing play, you can just make the right read, put the ball into your playmaker’s hands and score big touchdowns that way. I definitely benefited from having that year to learn to not try to take the big shot at every single play.” Mahomes is right. He didn’t take a shot there. But the result hit the Chargers like a hollow point bullet—Hill caught the ball in stride, streaking to Mahomes’s left side and taking advantage of a Los Angeles defense influenced to the right by the play’s run action. Fifty-eight yards later, it was 14–3 Chiefs. And the 22-year-old’s time at the helm of Andy Reid’s offense was, quite literally, off and running. That was just one play exemplifying how far he’s come. By the time the sun-soaked afternoon in L.A. was over, the Chiefs had 38 points on the scoreboard and Mahomes had completed 15 of 27 attempts for 256 yards, four touchdowns and a 127.5 rating, which amounts to a lot of proof that Reid and the Chiefs did right by their young gunslinger last year. (And worth noting while looking at those last few lines that the one game he played as a rookie, he had a rating of 76.4, zero TDs and one INT, while in that first game his second season he had four TDs, zero INTs and a rating more than 50 points higher.) Totally agree with your second paragraph, though. Some guys need time much more than others

For his career Benford missed all the 2022 playoffs (and half the season), most of one game and all of the next in the 2023 playoffs, and then played 2 playoff games and missed most of the 3rd last year. So of the playoff games we've played since drafting Benford he's been available less than half the time. Sadly we probably have a number of players in much the same boat.

Love it!!! -
You are missing last years mediocre defense. We are currently in the worst 20 game stretch of defensive play in this era imo.

Benford only gets injured because Rapp is a moron and is super reckless when he tackles. Other than that, he’s he’s very dependable. I’ll give you Tre though. Hopefully Hairston comes back soon.
