I sincerely struggle to find holes in his game at all. He does so many little things.
First of all the way he manipulates defenses with his eyes is incredible at this stage of his development. The incomplete pass to Kelce in the endzone looked like another no-looker to me. Probably why the accuracy was a bit off. He was holding the linebacker and I'm not sure he really fully looked at Kelce before throwing.
His ball fakes are awesome. For a guy who spent so much time in the shotgun in college, he sure is good at those fakes. I also like how he gives a little shoulder fake after every hand off. Must have picked it up watching Favre film.
He can make every throw.
He's diagnosing coverages like a veteran.
He's not blazing fast, but he's athletic and mobile.
This isn't like RGIII "run some option and we'll figure it out". Mahomes passes that eye test like nothing I've seen.
