This is kind of where I'm at.Mahomes is pretty much living the dream.
Elite HC/OC, above average line, elite weapons, sat for a year under very experienced QB
The dude has talent but couldn’t have landed in a better spot to use it
Mahomes comes to the Texans and he might just be Case Keenum 2.0. Under pressure all the time and just slinging it downfield in desperation. Basically, these parts of his NFL Draft profile : "Too eager to go big game hunting. Ravenous appetite for the explosive play can also bring unwanted trouble. Willingness to default to playground style appears to limit his ability to get into a consistent rhythm. Needs to improve anticipatory reads and learn to take what the defense gives him. Decision making can go from good to bad in a moment's notice."
Watson is the guy I really wanted, and was shocked when the Texans made it happen. I wasn't worried about the arm strength concerns. I was worried about his health behind this line. What I saw (and am now seeing in Mahomes), was a tendency to shine brightest on the biggest stage. I figured that NFL-level scrutiny would likely have little-to-no effect on him. He was the kind of guy that WANTED the game on his shoulders when it was all on the line. I hoped he'd live through the growing pains until we could build him a line.
