He doesn't have to play this year so it's fine if he doesn't I hope Alex Smith stays healthy to buy time but if Alex goes down I think the kid will be ready.

Here's the one that will drive them nuts:
Mahomes would NOT be any worse than what Smith brings to the table.
That said, I believe he needs to redshirt this year and really put his time in studying the flow of the playbook in conjunction with the clock. He needs to start mentally putting the puzzle of each situation together as it unfolds on the field before him.
A good year of advanced study combined with a continual work in progress on his technique and mechanics will put him in a great position for 2018 camp.
