No comparison with Beathard tonight. When your running game can pulverize the defense, it opens up the passing game. Chiefs never had a chance to try that out as we had no running game, no blocking and no discipline (penalties).
As I stated in the original post--tonight was just another game for Mahomes except that he was wearing an arrowhead on his helmet rather than a double-T.
I don't think the other rookie quarterbacks had the penalty problems that KC had and they sure as hell had a better running game.
