If they see Mahomes in practice every week making amazing throws but looking like a middle schooler trying to take college classes when it comes to learning a pro-style offense, then they are right to be nervous about throwing him out there. It is entirely possible that he could get into the game and simply have no clue what to do.

The Chiefs used 2 1st rounders for this kid. Reid is a QB genius. If Mahomes isn't grasping the offense at this point Reid has horrific judgement on QBs AND the genius label is fraudulent.
