He's ready now though, or at least he has to be. 11 weeks is a long time to learn the playbook.

Timing and understanding what the receivers are going to do based on the defense is the bigger problem and the reason you *have* to stick with Smith.
However I distinctly recall a horseshit simplified offense led by Tim Tebow being able to confound a decent defense in a do-or-die divisional road game that wound up being decisive for the Broncos getting into the playoffs in 2011.
Mahomes is clearly a better passer than Tebow; Reid is ostensibly a better head coach than John Fox and a better offensive game planner than Mike McCoy: he should be able to devise a simplified playbook that allows for success for a QB throwing the ball more than 10 times in a game.
