That's hilarious. Jameis had 5-star talent around him at Florida State. Now that he's in the NFL where the talent is pretty equal across the league, he has a hard time. He makes a lot of bad decisions, plain and simple. His performance on the football field matches with his bad decisions off the field.
Mahomes was surrounded by 2 & 3 star talent at Texas Tech. So he licks his chops in the NFL where it's a much more even playing field, and he's blessed with a lot of talent in the receiver group. It sounds crazy to say, but the NFL game is probably easier for Mahomes than the situation he had in college.
This is why I think it's dangerous to draft guys like Winston or Mayfield or whoever from a powerhouse school at #1 overall. They had a lot of help on their college roster and it won't be the same in the NFL. I think Joe Burrow is a damn good QB, but he's walking into a rough situation in Cincy. LSU had an extreme talent advantage over 99% of the teams they faced. This will not be the case for him in Cincy.
