Rookies are going to make rookie mistakes.
12 year vets shouldn't be.
I think it also makes people think, "If Alex is making the same mistakes without the upside, why aren't we starting the rook?"
Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how I read comments like his.

I have no problem with that line of thought.
I am not one of these people that thinks there is no way that Mahomes should start this year.
I think young QBs that are ruined by starting too soon are ruined primarily because they lack the maturity to handle that.
Mahomes strikes me as kid that has the maturity to learn from his mistakes, and the work ethic to grow and improve from those mistakes.
Frankly, I think his playmaking ability could win a couple of games that Alex wouldn't.
But I also know, barring injury, Alex will be the starting QB, so I have to resign myself to that.
I simply pointed out a flaw that can be cleaned up.
But idiots want to idiot.
