I don't think it is unreasonable to say that the hype is too strong right now on Mahomes.

The "hype" on Mahomes is three fold imo.
1. That he is smart and a great kid. This is not inflated hype- coaches, players and even Smith have talked about his work ethic and how fast he has picked up the offense. Mahomes charity work speaks for itself.
2. Athletic ability. His small sample size of game film- shows this is not hype at all. He is quick and elusive and has an amazing pocket presence.
3. The biggest so-called "hype" is because he has made throws that no Chiefs fans have ever seen being made by a QB wearing red. Three amazing throws just in the Donks game where he led the team to a 4th quarter win on the road.
Yes, we should temper our expectations because he still has a learning curve ahead- but how could fans Not be excited? He is an extremely talented player that has a lot of great coaching and talent around him. I am not ready to pump the brakes- I am stomping on the gas!!
