Wilson has been more or less a game manager most of his career. Hence his issues with Seattle. He wanted to throw more. When they finally allowed him to open up the passing attack, he became a turnover machine and Carrol subsequently throttled him down.

In Russ's limited time "airing it out", he was shut down because he couldn't stop turning the ball over. Thus, there's nothing to suggest he can lead a dominant aerial attack w/o a play action/run game. When he tried, he failed.

Mahomes OTOH has always aired it out. No run game. No play action. He IS the focal point of the offense. When he had a stretch of turnovers, we can definatively say it was just that....a stretch. Which is not the case for Wilson.

The context here is entirely different.

I love car analogies.

Mahomes is a Ferarri that regularly goes past 150MPH. In the event that our Ferrari didn't hit 150, we knew it was something that needed fixed, not a limitation on the car.

Wilson, for all we know, is a Nissan Sentra. For the most part, it can't do 150. It never has before. When we asked it to, it shook, rattled and fell apart. There's no prior history of your Sentra doing 150 where we can say, "oh it just needs fixed". It's more a matter of the car simply not being built to handle that kind of performance.
