Oh, and Donk fans are already calling him a total bust since he has such horrendous footwork.
It has been pushed so far that it is becoming a false narrative-continually repeated as a way to slam this kid that has all the natural talent in the world. Just like people comparing him to Jay Cutler.

I do think they are overblowing some of the criticisms. He is very naturally accurate, regardless of his footwork and arm mechanics. Reid, Payton, Arians, O'Brien, and other coaches around the league recognize this. He has room for improvement, but so do the other QB's in this draft. However, none of the other QB's in the draft have the upside of Pat Mahomes.
