The difference between Patrick Mahomes II and lesser quarterbacks was never more evident than yesterday, and it's a trait that I'm proud to say that I pointed out back when Patrick Mahomes II was a rookie.
When a rush comes in on Patrick Mahomes II, you'll see first that he's very good at sensing the rush and avoiding it, but the really important thing is that he keeps his eyes downfield. He senses the rush, but he's not distracted by it.
Watch a guy like Joe Burrow. When the rush was coming in on Joe Burrow he got distracted. He would lower his eyes from downfield, and he would also brace himself. You don't make plays like that.
Joe Burrow is a good quarterback. He does a lot of things well. But he'll never match up to Patrick Mahomes II, in part because of that one trait.
