Now he runs forward into pressure and gets smoked.

As I've said before Kelce is better at TE than anyone ever. Expecting Patrick to play as good as he did during Kelces prime probably wont ever happen again unless we reload with WR playmakers. Im hoping Hollywoods return makes a dent and LT is fixed by Humphries though for this year.

That’s bc teams adjusted to not let him out of the pocket often. SF used that gameplan beautifully in the SB and it worked most of the game.

Cautiously optimistic

On the Browns shot to Worthy...there's no way the drop back is actually designed like that in the playbook right? Open up left, turn and fake handoff to the right. Turn again to the left for some reason. Finally turn right to throw. No way that's the actual play design.

Actually I've seen that before. That's how it's designed. That actually looks fairly fluid, he just overcooked it. He overcooked it because he wants to err on the side of overthrowing because of Worthy's speed, and his latent yips from being picked.

No it's not, he's being incredibly jumpy in the pocket and not setting properly.

Look at the Broncos miss at :55

He saw the LT appear to be beating the LT again and it sped him up. Look at his footwork. Rushed. No anticipation and poor footwork.

That’s what happens when your QB gets knocked to the ground all game

Man....so is it ever the high paid QB that's gonna have to figure it out or are we always on the LT or the WRs or the coaches?

It's kinda frustrating because with the amount of money he makes he is gonna have to cover some of the holes his contract causes.

If he legit needs to have 5 outstanding linemen and high end weapons then he can't be paid like that.

It’s as bad as it’s ever been and Mahomes is still being Mahomes when it matters.

7 game winning drives. He’s still Mahomes in the clutch

I love Mahomes as much as the next guy, but I think this upcoming offseason, Mahomes needs to focus on getting some things cleaned up with his game. I know he spends considerable time with his flexibility and throwing to his guys offseason, but has he spent anytime with a QB guru in the offseason. Someone that can get him to focus on his mechanics that gives him a base to go back to when he is struggling like now. Even Peyton Manning, who was as fundamentally sound as any QB that has played, spent considerable time with guys to work on his throwing mechanics. Now seems like the time for Mahomes to seek a new outside eye to help him clean up his game going forward and getting back to where he has been for most of his career.

Yeah, until he stops winning Super Bowls (and more realistically, falling shorter than OT of a playoff game multiple times), not going to extrapolate beyond needing to get his head on straight here in a few weeks (which of course we're all assuming anyway).
