I agree! One thing the pundits fail to take in account is that Mahomes is so dang smart and Football smart as well. He has Alex Smith's IQ and you just can't fool him twice. Look at his first start. On the Road, against a division rival. Denver threw every exotic blitz at him. The O line was fooled more than Mahomes was. They just thought they were going to rattle his nerves and he would fold like most rookies- didn't happen. Mahomes even came BACK in the game and drove us for the game-winner.
Ravens tried that last year as well. They were sending the house- which usually broke a QB into giving up. They got Mahomes a few times and he went over and they rebooted to counter what they were doing. He was never shaken or acted defeated - then kills them on that deep pass to Reek.
When they talk about Mahomes taking a step back they are forgetting the mental aspect of the game. And seeing the tweet of him studying during a freaking tornado, it is highly unlikely that is going to happen.
