e.g. Teams with a low cost QB on a rookie contract perform well.

These results are based on one year though. I'd be interested to see what they've been for the past several years.
Also, putting the YES next to Mahomes seems a bit disingenuous. Alex Smith started all their games except for the last one where they rested starters.
2016 playoff QBs:
-AFC: Brady, Roethlisberger, Smith, Carr* (hurt, but got them to 12-3), Osweiler, Tannehill
-NFC: Ryan, Rodgers, Wilson, Prescott, Stafford, Manning
Only two of those QBs (Carr and Prescott) were on rookie contracts. The Raiders were one and done (Cook started) and the Cowboys were also one and done despite a #1 seed.
2015 playoff QBs:
-AFC: Brady, Roethlisberger, Dalton/McCarron (Dalton got them to 10-2), Manning, Smith, Hoyer
-NFC: Palmer, Newton, Wilson, Bridgewater, Cousins, Rodgers
Only two of those QBs (Bridgewater and Cousins) were on rookie contracts. Both were one and done.
2014 playoff QBs:
-AFC: Brady, Manning, Flacco, Roethlisberger, Luck, Dalton
-NFC: Wilson, Rodgers, Newton, Stafford, Romo, Palmer/Stanton/Lindley (Palmer got them to 9-1)
Rookie QBs: Wilson, Newton, and Luck. Wilson makes and loses SB, Newton blown out in divisional round, Luck blown out in championship.
I honestly think this year was an outlier. Interesting to look into though.
