That's not being realistic. The kid is sitting on the bench for a reason. He needs time to learn certain things and work on his weaknesses more specifically being able to make reads and audibles.
He ran a pretty basic offense in college. Pretty much every draft guru said the Mahomes would benefit greatly from sitting on the bench a year or two. They didn't just say that because Mahomes slept with their wives, there is a lot this kid can learn that.
Now I have no idea how far along he has come with learning mentally the things i mentioned but it takes time. There is nothing wrong with sitting and learning. Aaron Rodgers draft profile was similar to Mahomes and he has said no way would he be as successful as he turned out to be if he started his rookie season.
I also wouldn't want him to come in right now. Our offense besides Smitty is playing just as bad as Alex is. He would not be coming into a great situation and it'd definitely divide the locker room. Smitty is well liked. We do not need a QB controversy. Smith has had a couple bad games yes but every NFL QB has bad games. Overall he is having a good season and to bench him now after what happened to Smith in SF would probably destroy our locker room.
It is a bad idea. Now is not the time for Mahomes to start. Smith plays bad another 3-games and we lose each then yeah make the move but we all know the odds of that happening are slim to none.

Mahomes can get us 9 points against the NY midgets. Stop
