Andy just lets him be himself and that's not working.

I disagree completely. His Oline is over-rated bullshit, and Mahomes has made his career over making magic outside of the pocket. You can tell he is uncomfortable in the pocket and rightfully so. Watch the pocket collapse and Pat tucks the ball and wonders around, it's NOT working.
Until Mahomes starts threatening opposing defenses with his feet, he's going to be owned in the pocket, and not to his fault when his WR's can't get any separation or catch the ball.
