Or maybe he has peaked. Can anyone really tell. I just feel he has room and the capability to get even better.

Physically I do not think he can improve. He is possibly never going to have a more productive year scoring wise, but that is ok. I think he will forever be a 45TD a year guy with 5-10INTs.
However, what is more important going forward is his education and understanding of the game and the offense. I think by year 3 Andy turns over the play calling to Mahomes on 80% of the plays. I think he becomes Peyton Manning. He won't just audible from a play, he will stand in the huddle and decide what they are going to do with the advice of Andy for that situation.
That is when he becomes incredible and untouchable. He will personally control the flow of the entire game like Manning did. Defense is gassed? Ok, he will start dragging the drive out if possible. Down a score with 4 minutes left? Perfect, he'll make sure they score with no time left as Manning would frustratingly do, and Brady has perfected.
He will be the reason the Chiefs finally overcome Andy's shortsightedness and terrible clock management. He will see the entire game understand what is best at that moment and do it. Maybe I should compare him to Brady more than Manning. Brady seems to fully grasp every single variable in a game and what needs to be done.
Either way, the Chiefs have the heir to Manning and Brady.
