In a short time, you can see Andy Reid rubbing off on him. That looked like a later career version of McNabb last night. I actually think a lot of the prescripted screens will help mahomes early on by slowing his tempo down. Unlike Alex, you can get away with more of those short loss passes because mahomes can make up yards in big chunks whereas Alex usually needs all three downs. Reid never minded McNabbs improvising and mahomes showed decent pocket awareness, elusiveness, and ability to throw on the run. But despite the improv He looked yesterday like a guy willing to play within an offense. That's very McNabb like except mahomes will evolve into a smarter more accurate qb. A lot of that is Reid. But maybe we're seeing that when he feels like he doesn't have to score a td on every possession, he knows how to dial himself back.
