He's like a more mobile Joe Montana with a better arm. Montana also had that "slow motion" game, and the bigger the game the slower it was for him. Mahomes is calm, but he can be ruffled a bit if he's forced to run a ton. I find the primary reason he's also so good is that Reid is exceptional. Reid has such a great feel for what plays to run, how the game is tilting, how to counter the other team, and how far to push his QB. Mahomes adds spiciness, but Reid is the sauce.

I like the Montana/Mahomes comparison.  Joe to me is definitely in the top 5 QBs to ever play the position (and Mahomes may be already).  He wasn't that big, didn't have the big arm, and wasn't the most mobile QB but man was he cool under pressure and just was so calm.  Mahomes is definitely the better athlete and is more mobile if he has to be but there are a lot of similarities in their games.

I also like the thought about Reid.  He just has that feel for what to call at just the right moment.  Something that Montana's coach Bill Walsh could do as well.

One thing about KC is that no one really talks about their defense much.  When I see them play I find myself thinking of how many Super Bowls the Packers could have won if they had that kind of defense.
