It's not bad to take those little throws to Hunt and Hill and such. Let them take those screens and 5 yard hitches and run.

I think this is one area where playing behind Smith will help him as he saw that there are patient ways to win and going 5-10 yards at a time is okay if the defense is giving them away. But I also think Mahomes is smart enough to watch the film of those games and see that there were still opportunities to go deeper and I know Reid will make sure he sees them as well and that he will encourage him to take them.
