But he also doesn't look overwhelmed by it all. Which imo, considering where and what he's coming from, is a great sign.

Of course it is. It's a fantastic sign.
He doesn't looked overwhelmed and that means he can eventually get a handle on it. But he doesn't look comfortable either.
We're talking about an NFL quarterback here, fellas - a B grade is above average. He plays a whole season at a B level and you'll have a nice season on your hands. Hell, if he plays 4+ seasons at a B level, your pick is worthwhile.
But that's what we saw in that game - a young kid who's still kinda making shit up as he goes and who's going to guess wrong at an inopportune time. That's not an A level player.
I'm elated we have him. I think he'll be a star. I've never been happier with a pick and Mahomes was my preferred target from the jump. I'm extremely happy with how he's played to this point.
But c'mon - that wasn't an A performance for an NFL quarterback. That was a good day and a great start but there were still places that need ironing out.
