Now if we kinda want to nitpick and say first full season, that would still go to Mahomes. But frankly who gives af at that point since that means superstar QB.
Last game tbh aside from some sacks felt like his most promising game this year. Or at least as far as “Hey this guy did amazing in the question mark”. He was doing fantastic for the most part in dealing with pressure, scrambling, making throws etc.
Yes his game vs the Bucs was his best, but I thought as far as upside goes. This game was the most promising one in terms of showing massive improvements in handling a listed weakness pre-draft which was handling pressure.
Before his first Opening Day start at QB, Mahomes already had a full season of tutelage under his belt at the side of Andy freakin’ Reid. He learned how to handle being in the NFL for a year before he had the pressure of a mid-season playoff race to deal with. He walked into a playoff caliber offense with established talent and a system that everyone already knew like the back of their hand. There is no comparison between what CJ is doing now vs. what Mahomes did in his first full season as QB.
