The off-platform ability is what makes Mahomes generational when you combine it with the rocket launcher arm, spatial awareness, and mobility.
Rodgers and Favre were the prior off-platform kings and Mahomes is combo of both.

I will say this - just about every quarterback of any stripe who's come into the league in the last 5 years can do something like that now.
None of them as easily or with the regularity or preternatural calm (almost second nature) that Mahomes does it with, but it's more and more common.
The days of training these guys to be robots with their mechanics and release from by their ear and all that shit (was that the Tedford school?) seem long gone.
