He knows the playbook, he’s been through a full NFL season, he’s seen how things operate. He is at the point now where mentally his focus is beyond play calls and what routes are being ran, and is now focusing on all facets such as what the defense is presenting.
We can’t say the same for Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen, or any other true rookie.

I agree with this
but he has played in one game, with backups...so while he may not be a "True rookie", he also inst a True 2nd year PLAYER either. The game he played in was meaningless also....
They have a term for this...This will be his
1st starting season. He gets the keys to the car. He is something in between the guys you mentioned and a guy who has started multiple games in the nfl....
I know its difficult for morons like 3 bag to grasp but there is something in beween "true rookie" and "second year vet"
The guy has played 1 meaningless NFL game using an offense that was a work in progress and mainly for another player (smith).....and most of the game he didnt even have #1s at his side and /or wasnt even going up against #1's...it was a zero pressure situation , pretty much...and he was not as well known then either.
this season will be different , and teams will be gunning for him and know who he is.....
theres a little grey area between rookie and 2nd year starter, and thats where mahomes is.
