Hard work only beats talent if talent fails to work hard.
If Mahomes is halfway intelligent (he appears to be) and works hard (which he reportedly is doing) his odds of being a very good QB are incredibly high.
The guy isn't Jamarcus Russell or Vince Young, who sounded so stupid in interviews it was obvious their talent would go unfulfilled on the merit of being absolute morons.
Or a guy like Jeff George, who had obscene talent but was notorious for not listening to his coaches and having a shit attitude.
I can understand why people are putting the goggles on. I'm trying to remain skeptical, but he's doing everything I hoped he would. Learning the offense faster than expected, putting in extra work with WR's after practice, and performing about as I'd hoped in his single short scrub addled performance.
