Is this a scientific fact? Or just a narrative that certain people like to push.
Somebody from the Bronco forum posted a video of clips that were all considered "interceptable" throws from Mahomes in 2020, and a lot of them were huge reaches. DBs diving and barely getting a fingertip on the ball counted as interceptable. I guess they think every DB has Beckham hands. LMAO
There were a good number of dropped picks in 2020, and there were some against LAC in the Thurs night game, but how does his rate of interceptable balls compare to other QBs with a similar number of passes?
Funny that people just ignore the fact that the exact opposite happened last year. I've never seen a QB pile up so many unlucky picks in one season, including the one that effectively ended the season.

I thought I read that but I apologize if it was just a Chargers video duping me. (edited to add tweet I got that from)
But my point is that it doesn’t matter. Mahomes is elite. One of the best overall players in the game. He is going to take risks that other QB’s don’t take and that’s okay.
He had 4 should-be-interceptions against the Chargers. Should you care? I don’t think so. He has earned the right to take chances and take risks because he’s Patrick F’ing Mahomes.
He’s that dude.
Big time QB’s take risks and have dropped INT’s. It’s part of what makes them great, because a lot of times those risky throws end up being insane TD’s.
