Personally, i don't think a knock on Kizer is his team record. I don't recall ever actually reading or hearing that either.
Seems your concern is about Mahomes' attention and Kizer's lack thereof.
Remember who Mahomes' agent is: Leigh Steinberg.
There's a reason you're seeing Mahomes' face plastered all over T.V.....the man has a promotion master, super agent.

That is a great point about Steinberg.
The Kelly comments about Kizer have not helped him either and I'm baffled as to why he was so negative regarding Kizer's readiness. You can say a prospect could have used another year in college all you want, but to add that he was immature on and off the field is probably better discussed in private conversations with management types. Kelly likely hurt his own ability to recruit prospects by making comments like that public.
I have heard and read a few draft analysts use a lacklustre season at Notre Dame as a reason to knock Kizer - more specifically compared to his 2015 season. They see it as a regression, which it was, but to counter that there is not as much talk about a huge drop in talent surrounding him last season.
Marketability is a big thing. I get the impression sometimes that the league wants certain prospects to end up in certain cities to be their face. One attraction I have with regards to DeShaun Watson is that Papa John's has already signed him up! Doesn't that guarantee you a Super Bowl appearance somewhere down the line?
