Alex was the perfect guy to help Mahomes learn for a year. Alex was good enough to be a Top 10 QB in the league at the time, but he wasn't some first ballot Hall of Famer who was going to prevent Mahomes from getting a chance to step on the field. Favre blocked Aaron Rodgers for 3 years. I suspect the same might have happened to Mahomes with Drew Brees in New Orleans.
KC was the perfect spot for Mahomes to land. Alex being a super smart guy would have been helpful in the film room for Patrick as well. It was a great redshirt year for him. Gave him a chance to heal a number of college injuries while he learned from Alex, Andy, Kafka, and others.
