Being in a close game isn't pressure on him either. He was constantly behind at Tech.
I'm just thinking those two things have made him a ****ing superman now and there's no going back. It's a perfect storm.
Don't get me wrong, Mahomes is a stud, but he's not supposed to be this good this early. But he hasn't had this kind of talent or environment before and it's just bringing out the best.
It's kind of like if you had taken Warren Moon out of Houston and put him on the 49ers. He would have blown the **** up instead of just having two or three career years.

He's also been blessed with the best QB Whisperer one could hope for in Wally.
It is, of course, also true that spending a full year learning how to prepare and scout the enemy with AS11 was important.
Nobody starts this fast. Nobody plays this well this soon.
The arm is one thing, the vision and his obvious understanding of both the offensive scheme and the defensive counters ... those are something else entirely.
Pundits (aka Dumbfounded Idiots) are saying he'll regress, and surely he will. But he won't regress like Wishkins or Dik. When he does, it will be a 10 or 20 percent decrease in efficiency - not a crash. He's that good.
