My random thoughts since I can't sleep...
- case keenum runs a conservative offense but it works because he rolls in all directions and is superb throwing on the run, even going left. imagine an aggressive qb who does that but also can sling the ball. Mahomes' throw rolling left to Robinson shows he can be that guy. That's going to be impossible to stop.
-On the offsides free play with pass rushers closing in, mahomes threw a backfoot lob that was barely overthrown to Robinson out of bounds. Might seem like an inaccurate throw but it wasn't. Mahomes took a safe risk on a back foot throw many qbs won't take. safe because it's an overthrow but in some cases close enough for a wr to make a play on it. It sounds like a weird observation but mahomes did this a lot in the preseason. Most qbs eat that. But mahomes always wants to put the ball in play and I love that kind of safe risk
-one thing to get used to for better or worse is mahomes doesn't like throwing the ball away. But he has a unique talent for always throwing the ball on his own terms. Hes made a few goofy decisions but very few tipped passes or wobblers. They mostly go exactly where he wants them to go.
-footwork on screens was a mess in the preseason. Looked sharp yesterday. Sign he's improving a ton
