They/he didn't mention physical side. And I would argue that Mahomes is already better than Alex mentally once the ball is snapped. He sees things unfold in front of him that Alex doesn't once the play is under way.
Mahomes has made great strides in 4 months. I still think he starts this season after another month or two of film watching/game planning to see what the opponents defenses are setting up to do. Once Mahomes has the pre snap reads down, it is over.

This is where I am. I think he needs more work because as good as he was, he made some really head scratching plays at certain points which all rookies do.
The 3rd and 18 was probably the one they will point to. He just needs to understand that he doesn't need to go for the big play every single time. It's okay to get a FG every once and awhile. But he'll get it down.
Let Alex get the Chiefs in position to make the playoffs as they usually do and start Pat in late November with 4/6 remaining games at home. That's my ideal plan.
