Patrick Mahomes Frequently Throwing Interceptions
6 years agoKansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw three interceptions in training camp practice on Wednesday and has seven picks in six practices so far. "He had a few hiccups today," offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy said. "But that's a part of the process. When you're young you need those hiccups because they become valuable lessons. ... Would we like for him to be perfect? Yes. We'd like for him to have the highest quarterback rating ever. ... He just needs to be poised under pressure." It's not unheard of for a young quarterback who played in just one game in his rookie season. Despite the picks, he's making his fair share of big plays in practices, too. Mahomes will take chances and has a gunslinger mentality, which is drastically different than old QB Alex Smith. While Mahomes will have an up-and-down season in his first full year as a starter, he also has a lot more upside than Smith ever had. Consider Mahomes a QB2 with a lot of upside.
