And the mental issues have to be split in two.
Sure, mental issues coming out of college, for a guy that has never proven it at the NFL level, that's a BIG red flag.
However, we have 3 full seasons of Patrick Mahomes playing, not at a Pro Bowl level, not at an All Pro level, not even at an MVP level but at an historic HALL OF FAME level. He's broken over 50 records and some of them aren't even close.
He has the yips. They absolutely can, and will, go away at some point.

Oh I agree they can go away and I hope they do and think they will. But when I see him saying things like hits are taking him out of his rhythm or he just had to give the deep ball a chance it starts getting worrisome.
He had an incredible 3 years because he made throws no one else could, I agree. Teams have shut that down now. They aren't letting him run all over and sling the ball 50 yards downfield to elite speed receivers.
They are forcing him to play more ball control and thus far he hasn't been up to the challenge.
