How about this for a discussion point?
As much as I liked AS11, he was admittedly guilty of losing on 3rd down quite a bit. (Scrambling for 1 yard, throwing short of the sticks, counting on YAC, etc.).
Mahomes is far more likely to throw BEYOND the line of gain on 3rd down. Far more likely. (And far more further.)
More 3rd down conversions may mean more INTs, but it's not a given. On the other hand, it also means longer, more time-consuming drives, and ultimately more potential scores.
Bring your punter out to hold for extra point tries. I love Colquitt, but I'm fine saying, "We don't need no stinking punter."
