How much sense does Mahomes make for MVP?

It’s that things are so bad at times that we are missing plays that simply shouldn’t be missed by Mahomes, and mistakes made that shouldn’t happen, regardless of circumstances.

The miss to Worthy being a perfect example. It’s right out of the half, first down, perfect pocket, wide open, you know exactly what you are going to do and it’s simply a terrible miss. Hit that one play and the entire performance becomes a really good one that is both exciting yet efficient, and encouraging about what might come next.

We really just need to see Mahomes and the offense perform much closer to their ceiling and things would look much better for Mahomes and his stats.

The Chiefs are 6th in offensive DVOA despite facing one of the toughest schedules in football and having no WRs. This really isn’t the issue anybody is making it out to be.
