And God... a full season of leading the scout team as the primary backup? THAT'S the shit that will turn Mahomes into a balanced QB and accelerate his knowledge of the offense.
One game of preseason isn't going to destroy his path for developing the "right" way. That's just completely ridiculous.

I didn't say it would destroy his path to developing. I have no doubt he's going to improve a lot (and he's already damn good for the NFL). But despite all the training in the world, we don't know yet if he's going to be a freelancer as plan B or plan A. He'll have a very successful career using it as a plan A so it's not like it's a bad thing.
In watching the game yesterday, I had goosebumps thinking about how good he'll be. But I also got to thinking about Andy's best 2 QBS - Favre and McNabb - and how much Mahomes resembles them in so many ways. Both of them tough as nails but they got the bejesus knocked out of them in their careers.
