Patrick Mahomes is better suited for success than Paxton Lynch. He did more at the LOS in college, as well as calling/changing plays which Paxton did not do at Memphis.
Patrick also has Andy Reid coaching him...a proven QB guru.
Wanna guess part of the reason why Carson Wentz looks so good? Philly is running the exact same offense as we are. It's Andy Reid's playbook and it's extremely QB friendly.

I don't know if "was" is the right word. Carson Wentz also played in a pro-style offense in college. The spread offense read option quarterbacks that come out of college are not pro ready. If you're going to start one immediately then you have to incorporate things that they did in college while you're incorporating pro-style stuff they need to learn. It's a difficult transition. Add on to Lynch that he never played from under Center one read and go in Memphis, he's a 2 to 3 year project to even get up to speed. And that's why my QB hating Bronco brethren in are impatiently dumb.
And that's why they want the Quick Fix with a guy like Cousins or Drew Brees or Andrew Luck. They don't have the patience to develop a quarterback in a quarterback starved League.
This applies to all fan bases really. You want the quick fix for the big season so you get the high expectations and meltdown when they don't come to pass. If you're developing a QB the expectations of great success are probably expectations that aren't going to be met.
