I dont think thats true.

Simms continues off his initial point by saying "you couldn't throw that ball 20 years ago because defenders would light that player up" and implying that "QBs nowadays get away with making 'bad throws' that lead recievers defenseless and then look for the flag".

He's implying that QBs like Mahomes can get away with hospital balls and look for the flag, when Mahomes usually does none of these things. Most of his throws are to recievers who aren't going to take massive contact after the catch. The only examples I can think of are the MVS throw in that same game and the Tyreek throw in the AFC Divisional against the Texans where he got lit up. Very few cases.

He really drug Mahomes through the mud in this segment, for seemingly no good reason.

Ya know, TBFOH, any pass to a WR in today's ** Faster and Harder Hitting NFL** Think about it, is/could be considered leading the WR into harms way! Defenders are smarter, see things quicker than before. The react, break away at a / the split second before a pass and with faster closing speeds, thus leaving all receivers in harms way each time a team passes the ball!

It's difficult to be perfect on every throw.

So then my point stands. Look at his arms, he's making no attempt to tackle. He's just flying in there looking to hurt somebody.

Correct take. But then people can't shit their pants in anger and talk about how Simms is a douchebag just one week after praising his analysis when he said something they liked about our beloved Chiefs and/or PMII.

The defender made a really good play to get off of his assignment quickly. Mahomes had no way of knowing he was going to do it that fast. Again, look at the screenshot. There's NO WAY this is on Mahomes.

Defenders tackle all the time by throwing shoulders and not wrapping up.

We'd score 18 PPG if he doesn't throw passes to receivers that NFL wide open...sorry it's true that he should throw that pass 100 out of 100 times

Yeah Juju is wide-open, you throw the ball to him.

And let's just say that Cisco wasn't doing anything malicious and it was a freak accident. Then that's it. There is no story here, it's just a freak play and you move on. But Simms decided instead to make the story about Mahomes decision to throw the ball to a wide-open receiver with multiple yards of separation. He literally places the blame on Mahomes.
