Why would we limit him to a pocket where you need to release the ball in 4 seconds or less when our receivers are struggling to get open quickly?
His instincts transcend traditional football strategy. Mahomes holding little regard for the pocket is a feature, not a bug.

He won’t last over the long haul playing that way. He takes a lot of hits on those scramble plays.
