But as you've noted, even the outer edge is 6 quarters out of 16. That leaves 10 quarters that should be divided among 2 guys. Why shouldn't Mahomes get 5-6 of those? And if Smith comes out early in game 3 and only has 5.5 quarters, why shouldn't Mahomes get that extra half and put him nearer 6.5?
There are justifications for Mahomes getting more snaps than Smith this pre-season.

Im sure Mahomes will be seeing plenty of snaps.
Stave is a camp arm who will mostly only see snaps in the 1st and 4th games.
Reid has already stated that EVERYONE will get to play in game 1, but snaps in the next 3 games will go to those who earned it.
I expect we'll see a lot of Mahomes. Hell, if Bray comes out and shits the bed the first two games, i wouldn't be surprised at all to see Mahomes getting 2nd string snaps in the 3rd preseason game.
Maybe i'm reading this wrong, but i believe Dane is merely saying that Mahomes shouldn't see snaps with the 1st unit, not that his snaps should be limited. And I agree.
