Whether it's this year or next, the Chiefs record will take a step back in the first year of the Mahomes era while he earns his lumps and bruises.
Waiting till next year only delays the inevitable fall from playoff contention. Now, if he can't spit out a play, diagnose a defense and get his players in the right position, then he needs to sit until he can.

This entirely. You cannot replace actual game time experience sitting on the bench to learn from. Sitting watching Alex Smith really? Pffft I don't care if he has the 3rd most wins last four years the defense stepped up with turnovers galore and gave the offense prime field positions that we won most of those games with field goals.
