I think that's overstating things in its own right.
Because you can absolutely live with a mistake here and there if you're also willing to attack. Mahomes in his first couple years was a lot like that.
He'd put the ball in harms way but in between he'd also put every defensive backfield in the NFL on alert that the ball could be whistled past their ear or over their head on any given play.
I don't want him afraid to pull the trigger any more than I want him making more plays like that one.
Which is why I say I don't think there are lessons to be taken from it. Because sure, you can argue that he needs to work on ball security but you can watch the same tape and say he needs to be MORE willing to rip the ball into tight spaces.
Just...don't be bad, m'kay, Patrick?
