Mahomes certainly hasn't looked like a pocket first QB so far (mostly because he hasn't had a choice), but I'm not worried about it. He has made some really impressive throws standing in the pocket and stepping up into it. He has even stood firm and made accurate throws in the pocket right as he got hit, which he showed again last night with his 3rd down strike to Chesson.
I think he will stay in the pocket more as he gets to play with more competent linemen, but at the same time it is his improv ability that makes him special. I think he will always lean on it pretty steadily.
