They need to make him stay in the pocket.

Not really - not his first year as a starter anyway.
I mentioned it when the did a Mahomes-a-thon on NFL Network a few years back. The difference between 2018 to 2019 and then to 2020 was STARK.
Watching those games in 2020 is like watching a completely different guy. The 2018 version was playing with his hair on fire. The 2020 version was the best we got from him, IMO.
I will forever maintain that the 2020 Chiefs were the best team of this entire era. Those OL injuries are just heartbreaking because that team was a buzzsaw and Mahomes was the best he's ever looked.
