I'm aware of all of this. If it was anything other than mild I don't see any world where Mahomes would even be in discussion to play. And in early 2019 it was his left leg, which will be different from a throwing platform. If you notice, there were just about zero rushing yards early in 2019. That doesn't sound like something way north of 50% overall. We also had good to great play at both tackle positions.
Trying to put a percent on all of this may be futile. I'll settle for him being able to throw from a stable-ish platform at 90%, but not run around much at all, which probably balances it all down to somewhere closer to 50% of creating the magic that Mahomes is capable of.
