I think some things can be improved, some can’t.
Mahomes is good enough to be the best QB in the league for years. I don’t know what the hell happened in that game…a really bizarre meltdown. We’ll see how it all plays out.
I agree…he will be better of he sticks with the first reads and play designs. That was much of his problem at the start of the year. After finally learning patience, the Chiefs were rolling by making defenses pay for that two high safety look. They may have lost the AFCCG because he made a couple of highlight, improv plays and then totally abandoned the gameplan, which had helped him tremendously in getting into those situations.
I don’t think he’ll improve on his other bad habits. If he doesn’t release the ball quickly, he‘s simply not great at improvising which is problem he had all season. He runs around in the backfield or drifts right and to the outside. Even though sometimes that gets a highlight reel play, you can tell the play is dead as soon as he starts with that crap. That simply isn’t how NFL offenses work. And I think he simply bails on the pocket for no reason, quite frequently, despite stellar blocking.
