It certainly seems like a lot of KC's throws break this rule and it would be consistent with SmootSmack's info that he's great in the QB room when it comes to knowing plays and what's "supposed" to happen.
At the same time, I seem to recall a few Rule 2 and Rule 3 violations as well. Also, as SS and a couple others have pointed out, KC has ALWAYS thrown picks. Maybe he grows out of it, but that would be a significant epiphany for him. I am not holding my breath - just hoping his plusses (timing, pocket awareness, and good knowledge of the offense) outweigh his minuses (no rocket arm, locking on receivers, predetermining where play is going to go, inability to deal with game stress). If they do, we could be a 7-9 win team. If they don't .... first pick here we come.
