THIS!
This is what I took away at the end of the game on Friday. He HAD NO system at Tech other than to "make plays" because he--and the coaches--knew that there was no defense to help him, the running game (junior season) was spotty to non-existent and the offensive line was woefully young and inexperienced.
More than ANYTHING, Mahomes needs "professional maturity" as a quarterback and that only comes with time and experience. He will get there and he has the tools, intellect and physical ability to be one of the greatest QBs in the history of the NFL.
But right now, as we speak, he is a rookie who is simply not ready to take the starting job. Not even close.

Ha! Was thinking the same thing. I also had to keep adjusting the picture on my television to make sure that the arrowheads on the KC defensive players helmets weren't actually double-T's. 😂
The running game scuttled him as well--when an NFL running back can't pick up a ONE YARD GAIN, not once, but twice. . .
