He is.
At Tech, he and his receivers spent hours upon hours each week after practice running impromptu routes and scenarios. At Texas Tech, our receivers know every square inch of the playing field and they find multiple ways to get open when the QB is flushed out of the pocket and the play breaks down.
From everything I've read and followed, Mahomes spent a LOT of time last year working and building chemistry with the second/third string receiving and running corps, and then the starters this summer.
Translation? Anyone who touches the football on the Chiefs' offense is a lethal weapon and probable first down or long gain or score when Mahomes gets flushed out of the pocket. We've already seen it several times this season in just the first four games.
If we were to time travel back to the 60's, Mahomes would be a hybrid blend of Fran Tarkenton's scrambling ability, Johnny Unitas' arm and precision throwing perfection and Bart Starr's intelligence, dedication (to the game) and leadership.
I honestly believe Mahomes will end up creating a new niche and standard for NFL quarterbacks before his career is over.
