I think he ultimately will be the starter and he has earned it so far. I just think he does need to improve. I think the ideal thing to do would be to draft a mid Rd Guard to push him and add depth but unless we trade Jonah I think we will have more urgent needs than a 2nd pick on the OL assuming we draft a RT somewhere. With Brown it seems like anyone I saw that covers the Bengals has him at above average 10-12 range and better than Jonah but not by that much. I just thought after seeing that being said that he had Thuney next to him which I'm sure didn't hurt him.
There are things you have to consider when trying to evaluate tackles blocking for Mahommes. For one watch film and see how deep Mahommes drops back. His deep drops mean that tackles have to ride the defender even farther than normal to move them past the play and create a pocket that the QB can step up into. When it comes to the pocket Mahommes often does not simply slide forward in the pocket but rather has really happy feet and moves around a lot rather than stepping up. Also, Mahommes will hold the ball for extended periods of time creating a situation where the linemen must sustain blocks for a longer than normal period.
The things that make Mahommes so dangerous can also make blocking for him extremely difficult.
