With the rules heavily favoring the offense and over protection of quarterbacks it's not as scary to put a rookie quarterback in the lineup. Scores of rookie quarterbacks have had success against defenses that can't hit a quarterback or impede receivers. This isn't the 1970's when you had linebackers looking to take the quarterback out with a bone crushing hit. Mahomes has escapability and can keep his eyes down field to find open receivers. Why you have a weapon like that and refuse to unleash it on opposing defenses in unbelievable. Put the kid in there and sit back and reap the benefits.
