Mahomes turnover rate in college was low enough, and he's smart enough, and Reid is a good enough coach with enough talent around his QB that turnovers aren't going to be near the issue people are harping on.
You know who averaged 11 INTs his first five seasons in the league? PHILIP RIVERS.
The poster boy for throwing dumbass INTs wasn't even turnover prone when he entered the league, primarily because he was surrounded by a strong supporting cast and his coach wasn't a butt****ing moron.
Mahomes is going into almost the exact same situation, is more talented, and has better receivers and a better coach around him.
I'm sure there will be you-****ed-my-mother whining all over KC sports radio and twitter when he throws his completely awful 11 interceptions this season, though.
The same number thrown by that god awful turnover machine Russell Wilson the last two seasons. God forbid he throw 13 like future hall of famer Ben Roethlisberger. THE HORROR!
