I think Pat gets a lot of protection, you may not. But I also think Qbs in general are overly protected in the new kinder gentler NFL.

If he's getting a lot of protection, the throat punch on Sunday should have been penalized. Ref was standing right there watching it happen, lol
Do you remember the recent play (Baltimore) where Mahomes got hit out of bounds? Zero flag on the defense. Chiefs player got in trouble for responding to that cheap shot. He got penalized and fined. Yet the Baltimore defense got away scott-free with the cheap hit out of bounds. No penalty, no fine. Sounds like encouragement from the league to keep doing it.
