The more time he has to learn and grow, the better he'll be when he's named as the starter.
Again, there's no reason to rush him.

This. Mahomes' preseason success will make Reid sleep better at night should Smith go down, but the job is squarely on Smith's play. If he keeps us winning, which he has shown a tendency to do, we won't see Mahomes until 2018.
I even believe that if Smith goes down, and Mahomes plays well, Smith gets the start when he returns. I just don't see Reid doing that to Smith knowing Smith's history.
