Because there does seem to be some mad scientist logic behind it.
Frankly, his worst turnovers are plays that are more in control than that one was. They're plays where he's trying jedi mind-tricks to move Fred Warner to a different spot on the field and he assumes they'll work....then fires a fastball right into Warner's chest when they don't.
His 'out of control' moments are FAR more in control than commonly accepted, IMO.
You can tell luck from skill by its duration. Patrick Mahomes has been doing this for, what, 7 years now? I think it's safe to say that he doesn't just have a horseshoe up his ass.
Kid knows when he can get away with it and when he can't. Something like that gets run through the same calculus that a simple slant route goes through for mere mortals.

He’s been doing it for a solid 10 years. He gets away with it sometimes, but he is the first one to admit to the media that he has some dumb choices. He knows he can get better. The Buffalo playoff game last season is a glimpse of what he can be, which is the absolute GOAT. Careful with the ball, very efficient, and kill them with scrambling when necessary.
