Mahomes is basically identical to Wilson in that regard. They are both elite for NFL players, period,

I agree on the 40 yard point...that said, speed is what allows QBs to prolong plays to allow receivers to get open. 49ers sacked wilson 5 times in their first meeting...to my point that the 49ers linemen have very good short yardage quickness. But, if they couldn't get him within 5-10 yards, he'ld just scramble until a receiver came open. Don't know if Mahomes will be able to do that the same way Jackson, Murray and Wilson could.
