We probably have to wait until Mahomes is 35+ when he will stop trusting his escape ability and focus more on traditional QB mechanics. |

Goddamn Chargers found the "Blueprint" much more than Fangio ever did. This pressure/flow shit they found is a proooooooblem and of course other teams are now copying it against us. And the only answer to it is for Mahomes to stand in there and fire. And of course, Smith's gonna have to suck a hell of a lot less to allow for that. Right now opposing defense are creating chaos designed to give the appearance of a play breaking down when in reality it's mostly just bait designed to get him off his spot and play sped up. And he's taking that bait just about every time. He's gotta stop. And if they start playing him honest again, he can get back to that. But right now they're using his instincts against him. |

I think its reps. And not game reps, but technique reps. When pitchers are out there throwing between starts, it's not work on pitches, it's to make sure their arm slot is sound and they have the proper drive and follow through. Just keeping things honed. I wonder if that's where some of this stuff is slipping. I just can't get over how strange his lower half looks on some of these throws. He's always been unorthodox there, but you could always find a method to his madness -- he does things other guys don't do because they CAN'T do those things and they clearly help him. But he's doing things right now that just hurt him. And they're unforced. And hell man, it may be none of that at all. It's all speculative as hell. It's just me thinking out loud. |

Mahomes is a lot less effective as a passer with bad OL play, right? Like, even relative to the rest of the QBs league he's unfortunately pretty susceptible to pressure at times, and that's been a constant throughout his entire career. |

I mean he wasn't great. But "at least 3 holds" is just complete bullshit. I'd hold off on posting conclusions from Ravens fans. Every fan in the world screams "HOLDING" when that arm gets up high but no, that's not a hold. We did it when Hali got himself in that position 5 times every game but it's not a hold. And on another one of those, as soon as his arms got outside his frame he gave a quick bar and then pulled them back. I saw maybe one hold in there and it was a soft one. The rest was just...well what I think a lot of folks said at the time - rough, but acceptable for a first game. The issue was that he went backwards and not forwards. |
A lot of people don't want to admit that the biggest problem this year has been Pat. I get it, he's untouchable, and there still is no QB on Earth I'd take over him, but yeah, he's been awful by his standards. Then again, he has been without his two starting WRs and starting RB all season. Kelce is not a #1 anymore (until the playoffs) and you've got a street free agent at RB along with an UDFA who isn't much of anything and a Broncos cast off as your 3rd down back. You have aging Hopkins trying to learn on the fly at WR, a Pats castoff in JuJu who could die at any moment, and a very raw rookie. I mean, I don't think there's a QB in the league who could look "good" with this cast. Pat is doing about as well as anyone should expect with this nonsense season.
Sigh, one of these years Pat is going to have all his WRs healthy and we're going to see the old 15 again. Come playoff time, though, I still fully expect him and Kelce to flip the God switch and do what we all know they're going to do. Until then, just keep winning anyway you possibly can. |

I think it was after the Raiders loss last season they came out and said the Chiefs were going to strip down the playbook quite a bit to help both the struggling receivers and Mahomes, and it worked, quite well. |
Justin Watson has taken more snaps than Deandre Hopkins every game this season. That's a bit silly. If we need to narrow the playbook for a bit so our best options can play more, let's do it.

The Chiefs aren’t playing Hopkins a ton bc they want that 4th rd pick.

We haven’t lost a playoff game in 2 years. Until we do let's all stfu.

That's ****ing idiotic and both Veach and Reid need a boot up the ass if that's actually why they won't play Hopkins more.
