I don’t buy the report about O’Brien being in love with Mahomes. Scouting reports consistently describe Mahomes as a gunslinger who makes some terrible decisions and is at his best when he’s winging it rather than functioning within the system. O’Brien seems to want a guy who is going to execute the offense and who understands the value of taking what’s there and not forcing something. While O’Brien may recognize Mahomes’ talent and potential I’d think he also see him as someone who’s going to need a lot of reining in and work to break his bad habits, seemingly more than the typical rookie.
