So, we will have to hope for a lot of TDs, because I think he will always be in the 10-20 pick range the first couple of seasons.

What "underthrow"? Are you talking about the Sherman or Harris pass? The Sherman pass was a terrible play by Mahomes period.
The Harris play on the final drive was underthrown. It was the right decision, in fact if he set his feet it's a touchdown. But he didn't set his feet. Some of that was due to Broncos pressure, but I think Pat saw Harris open and got a little too excited. It was his first start and he wanted to make the game winning play.
I actually loved the play. It's exactly the type of play Smith won't make. Smith would never see a receiver streaking open like that. The only time he can find men deep is on predetermined reads. Mahomes just needs to not rush his throws and use better footwork. His footwork has gradually improved over his career and I expect him to continue to improve because he is a smart, hard worker who wants to be great
