Notice how many times he tried Mahomes Stuff Sunday? Lots. He tried dropping his arm slot. He tried the scramble and throw against his body stuff. He tried the things he's seen Mahomes do and he's convinced himself it ain't that hard and he can do it.
It failed. Every time.
Detox said it well - he looked like a guy who convinced himself he'd done the work when he really hadn't. He was going to take the league by storm because he convinced himself he can do the things Mahomes does. And never understood the amount of preparation that Mahomes does to make all those things work.
You ever watch movies with water-skiiers or snow skiiers that are 'out of control' and you realize how insanely good at skiing those stunt-men are? It's harder to look like you're out of control when you're not than it is to just look technically perfect.
Patrick Mahomes is that insane stunt man that looks 'out of control' when he's actually completely composed because he's THAT good.
Meanwhile Caleb Williams is a 12 year old bombing down a black because he saw his older brother do it and 'it didn't look that hard...'

Like I said. Most likely he is a bust than the next great QB.
