I'm not going average out a totally meaningless week 17 game against a 5-11 team that had given up and taken MOST of their defensive starters out by the start of the 3rd quarter over 16 games and then say 'realistic'.
Mahomes showed a lot, but c'mon. That's not a realistic way to think of anything. Even if you're right that's a terrible way to get to the conclusion.

I agree it's not realistic, but Pat didn't play the full game either. He could have gone well over 300 yards if they kept him in there instead of putting Bray in. That's also without Kelce/Hill in the receiver group.
That said, I am just hoping he can play smart and avoid injuries. He played pretty much his entire college career with some form of injury. Bad knee injury early in 2015 caused him to limp his way through the last 9 games of the season. Bad throwing shoulder injury early in 2016 made him a different guy for the rest of that season as well. Concussion in 2014. Broken wrist in 2016. And so on.
He plays the game very hard. Takes some big hits that he needs to avoid. I just want to see smart decisions and good health from him in his first season at the NFL level. If he can learn to protect himself, I believe the sky will be the limit during his career.
