Does he elevate the play of those around him? Albert Wilson doubled his best career game in Mahomes first start. 150 yards...and landed him a nice contract in Miami. PM should get a percentage of his new deal....he made him look like a legit #2 WR. Manning did that with average talent too...then someone would sign them and the production would drop. That's a good sign...
Alex Smith was forced to take risks/alter his playing style by his presence...leading him to his best career season. Had Mahomes sucked in practice, Smith wouldn't have felt the pressure to become a deep passer. PM pushed Alex out of his comfort zone..
