Most would agree the largest leap comes in year 3 of a QB starting.
So if PM were to sit we'd have to pick up the 5th year option before seeing his best work.

So if someone watches others drive cars on the street for a year before they actually get behind the wheel-that will make them better drivers? If Mahomes sits on the bench and watches General Smitty Checkdown for a year-that is going to make him a better QB?
You learn by doing. Mahomes will have to take his lumps even if he sits a year behind Smith in a lost season. So I guess people are saying he will take fewer lumps after a clipboard year?
Mahomes showed he is a fast learner. If needed he could come in and at least learn the weekly game plan to direct the offense. Andy would not have promoted him the #2 over Bray (who has had 5 years of "watching") and still can't do what Mahomes does.
Let Alex start VS. the Pats- and prove that he is SOOO improved like all the training camp stories have hyped up. If he is the same old ineffective Alex-Yank his ass.
The team would be much better with a young and inexperienced GAME CHANGER that can motivate and inspire to greatness - than an aging GAME MANAGER that makes the offense want to just quit and punt every 3rd and long.
