Yep. Alex is a one read QB. If his first read isn't there, he'll either check it down, throw it away, take a sack or run it. Most of his passes are 10 yards and under and he rarely throws into tight windows, which is one reason why he's always poor on 3rd downs & in the redzone.
Mahomes might triple Alex's INTs from last year his first few seasons while he learns what he can and can't do, but he'll more than make up for it because he's not just a one read QB like Alex. He has great field vision & goes through his progressions & instead of checking it down, throwing it away, taking a sack or running it, he'll hit that 2nd or 3rd read, he'll keep his eyes down the field while pressured and look to make a play.
And he'll attempt those tight windows throws like we've already seen him do numerous times and he'll be a HUGE upgrade over Alex on 3rd downs & in the redzone...which we've already seen as well.
