If times are tough, and he can stay composed, that will show a much more cerebral aspect than he has been given credit for. It will only be a matter of time before the brain catches up to the arm talent, so a dedication to maintain focus on those things will show dedication towards improvement.
I can't negate the desire to compete and win, but keeping within himself and utilizing the preseason, as it is meant to be, will pay more dividends for the Chiefs than a few jaw dropping bombs, during a meaningless game. With that said, I would love to see a 25-yard laser hitting Chesson in stride. |

I think throwing 65 times a game should mean something. I mean how many college quarterbacks throw 65 times a game every week?

One that has been trained to wing it and pray when the chips are down. He will need to rely on his defense more at this level. Showing composure, and not falling into what has been programmed into him, will speak volumes for me.

http://www.espn.com/blog/kansas-city...her-conditions ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Cool, windy and rainy conditions at Kansas City Chiefs training camp on Saturday didn’t seem to affect rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. Mahomes was the only one of the Chiefs’ three top quarterbacks who didn’t throw an interception. Mahomes completed 6 of 10 passes in full team drills and 10 of 13 in 7-on-7 drills. Wow moments: Mahomes made three big-time throws, two on go routes down the right sideline in a 7-on-7 drill, one to Jehu Chesson and the other to Tevin Jones. Perhaps even more impressive was a back-shoulder throw into the wind that was caught by Marcus Kemp in a full team drill. Whoa moment: Mahomes threw incomplete to tight end Ross Travis even though Travis had been left uncovered. |

Quarterback Patrick Mahomes II: It no longer seems absurd that Mahomes could be the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Alex Smith when the regular season begins, as it did at the end of offseason practice. Mahomes' abilities showed only inconsistently during the offseason, but it's been a more common occurrence at training camp. The rookie led the Chiefs to a touchdown on a four-play, 75-yard drive during a two-minute drill and had another four-play sequence that featured some big-time throws. None of this, however, suggests Mahomes is ready to be the Chiefs' No. 2 quarterback. He's been guilty at times of trying to force the ball into coverage, and he's fortunate he hasn't yet had a pass intercepted during full-team or 7-on-7 drills in the three competitive practices the Chiefs have held. But the No. 10 overall pick in this year's draft appears to be gaining ground at a rapid pace. |
