Nah. Safety was already off and square to the QB. He was beat well before Mahomes threw it. And Mahomes most assuredly didn't have to loft that ball, especially had he unloaded it a bit earlier.
That was a MASSIVE window to throw into and Mahomes just held it a bit too long. It happens.

Yeah it could be. If I'm honest I didn't see it in college the way others did, but I won't pretend I watched his every game or that I'm anything but terrible at evaluating players, especially WRs. But that probably explains my lower expectations.
It is very early, and way too early to claim to know what he'll be. Gun to my head I'd say I don't think he'll be that guy, but I'll be very happy to eat crow. In the meantime the speed is still an incredibly useful weapon
