He is clearly not ready, which is fine.

The idea that you just throw a guy out there to prove some sort of point, instead of developing him as a player and putting him in the best position to succeed I just don't understand.

He is not a better quarterback than Joe Flacco today, not even close.

He is skilled and athletic enough to be a better player than Flacco ever was.

He could also be out the league in three years if he ends up in a bad situation.

I still wish Mitch Trubisky had been able to sit and learn for a full year. Here he is in his second year and all he did the first year was compound bad habits. Meanwhile, Mahomes is setting fire to the league.
