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.
I think the plan all along was to draft well and sign cheap FA’s during that time to build up Cal’s cash reserves.
The hope was to nail a QB and then go supernova in Free Agency.
That’s the plan I think Caserio pitched to Cal, anyways. Maybe he came close to losing it with fumbling the Coaching hires early but he white knuckled that shit and now it’s back on course
