I, for one, would like to see him develop more "controlled" work in the pocket ... shifting away from pressure instead of completely bailing ... that sort of thing (see Tom Brady). It makes the o-line's job much easier if they know where he is. Plus, he would be taking full advantage of Wally's fabulously well-designed routes and the timing thereof.

Great point. I also see that teams have been blitzing a lot trying to get Mahomes to just dump off for short gains- but he says **** it and rolls out to give his receivers extra time. By the second half, the CB are gassed and getting burned all over the field. Look how gassed the Jags and their number 1 defense was. Pats too- we dominated them.
