It’s a stupid take because even this one stat doesn’t support your argument. At all. 3 of 4 completed seasons Mahomes had a higher QBR. The only reason you are even going this route is because you want to pretend Mahomes has elevated his play every post season way beyond his regular season, which is of course only motivated by your desire to remove any and all blame or criticism from him when the offense struggles at times.

How does it not support the argument? Josh Allen’s overall QBR over the past five seasons has been better than Mahomes. On average, he’s been a better regular season QB than him since 2020.

Guess who you and everyone else in the world are still taking come playoff time? I wonder why that might be.

All regular season games are borderline meaningless games for this franchise in this era. Why some want Mahomes to stand in a collapsing pocket and take a few more massive hits to win them, I have no idea.

The team’s primary goal, above all else, should be making sure he’s still standing in January. Because if he is, this team remains the favorite to win another SB.

For one 0.9 is hardly significant, for two I’ll take the guy that in 3 of 4 seasons has had the better season. Or if you prefer the total numbers I’ll take the guy who since 2020 has more passing TDs, more wins, more yards, fewer turnovers, higher completion %, and a higher passer rating.

This isn’t hard. No one wants him to take massive hits. Everyone wants better LT play to prevent excess hits. They also want him to play a little better because if he played better he would be hitting the open guys on time more frequently and would then be taking less hits.

To recap, we’ve now gone from calling it ridiculous and a terrible take not based in QBR to “hardly significant”.

Josh Allen has been a better regular season QB than Patrick Mahomes in QBR since the 2020 season. He’s been a significantly better regular season QB than him over the past two seasons in particular. I’ll ask again, does that mean you’re taking him over Mahomes this postseason? And if not, why not?

The Sam McDowell article referred to above[post 55) is probably the best analysis I have seen of the situation. Currently Mahomes is not the only problem, but he is the most significant problem as things go. And given his past performance, he should be able to return to elite level. But I am not at all comfortable with the attitude of many posters here that say don’t worry he can just flip a key come to playoffs. He had a bad year last year because of drops, not because of his poor play so much. The drops ended when they simplified the offence and stopped playing Sky and Toney. This year, although he is not the only problem, much of the problem lies with his poor play. That will be harder to turn around on a dime and he needs to start making that change now. In my view the most important part is that as worthy continues to be able to get open, Mahomes needs to start throwing to him accurately.

It is worth noting that We are such a great team that we are still nine and one despite the problems we have had. And nobody seems to be saying it, but I think Drew Tranquill should’ve been able to tackle Allan on his TD run and then Mahomes would’ve probably had another chance to see if he could have reverted to his elite level when it was needed to win the game.

LMAO at Patrick Mahomes being referred to as a significant problem with the 9-1 Chiefs because he missed a few throws the past few weeks. As if they’d even be above 5 wins with Carson Wentz at QB.

Some here seriously need to watch the QB play on just about every other team in the league and report back about what they see.

Agree. 90% of the problems have been in Mahomes' head since the Tampa Super Bowl.

In case anyone's not aware, he has a perpetual "special" of $12/year if you use this:

It FEELS like everyone who isn't emotionally connected to the team SEES plainly that Pat is the issue.

The problem is, as soon as you say that a bunch of posters here go into full attack mode, when it's obvious to anyone who is breaking down film and Pats play that he's NOT GOOD this season.

And lots of all time greats have some bad seasons. And Pat is having one.

Traitors, losers and cowards.

I suspect it's more an aging receiver we are limiting a bit. Not to mention that he probably doesn't have the full playbook down pat. Keeping Hopkins healthy for post season is way more important than a draft pick.

Josh Allen pff grade 84.7

Mahomes 84.1 on the season.

I have a job and a life so I don’t have time to evaluate all 22 every play if the season for every player.

So for as much as pff may suck they def have time to do the job. And get paid for it

Wanya morris pff is 57.3 on the season.

So who cares “who was the main problem vs bills”.

84.1 pff grade is bigg enough gap from 57.3 to make it obvious that mahomes isn’t the problem this year.
