I said going into the game that I wanted to see Mahomes stay in the pocket when he's supposed to, only improvising when shit breaks down. For me, I wanted to see him run the designed play on his dropbacks around 50% of the time.
He definitely did that. And in the 50% of snaps in which he deviated, I'd say all but 2 or 3 were "good" deviations. By that, I mean for example, pushing it deep when a Donk jumped offsides, or breaking out of the pocket on a jailbreak blitz and throwing it away. He looked pretty damn efficient out there, and you can bet your asses it's only going to get better in the offseason with an ENTIRE several months getting more and more comfortable with the playbook. He's ready to start next year. Yeah, he'll still make mistakes, but he's ready to learn from those mistakes. He's not going to flounder. He's got the support. He's ready. |

I think Mahomes is probably a year away. I mean the only real issue I see is footwork and some mechanics. |

His footwork and mechanics don’t cause him any accuracy problems

I’ve never been more confident in my belief that there is a large percentage of Chiefs fans that wouldn’t recognize legit QB talent if their life depended on it.
Must be from an entire generation of watching above averageQB play at best, and backup talent starting for the Chiefs at worst, and getting bounced when it counts (both in regular season and post season). If anyone watched yesterday and didn’t immediately recognize the Grand Canyon sized talent difference at QB compared to the last 30 Year’s of what the Chiefs have trotted out at QB......then I don’t think they’ll ever recognize it. Just wait until Pat gets a full off season to continue to build on what he’s already done in terms of playbook, etc. and is able to get reps with starters. |

I am certain Smith watches Mahomes and realizes the difference in their talents. |

They’re gonna tailor the offense to Mahomes next year as well.
It’ll be different |

Not what he meant at all.
One thing i took away from yesterday is how Denver sold out on the deep pass. Albert Wilson had a career day carving them up underneath. If Mahomes has that affect on D's, you can expect a complete philosophical shift on offense. |

They played coverage because they weren't worried about getting ran on by Anthony Sherman
