Give him Warner's deep ball accuracy to go with the raw arm strength and he can literally put a ball anywhere on the football field. Defensive backs can never pass anyone off because if they're in space, Mahomes can get it to them, even on the backside of the play.
Warner is still the best pure passer I've ever seen. His ball didn't always have that beautiful spin on it, but when it comes to putting a ball exactly where he wanted it to be, exactly when he wanted it to be there, he was better than Joe Montana. Tom Brady's that precise through 12-15 yards but not 20 and beyond.
Warner with time was a goddamn assassin and if Mahomes can get his accuracy to that level...{shudder}...he probably left 10% again as many TDs and Yards on the field last year by just missing balls downfield that time and reps may prevent him from missing going forward.
Those missed deep shots were the difference between him having the 2nd best season by a QB in history and the unquestioned best. He'll be able to challenge those marks again this year with a step forward in his downfield accuracy.
