There are so many plays he made that were MUCH more impressive than him making an awkward throw for no reason.
One of the biggest criticisms of Mahomes is exemplified on that play. He scrambles and makes a running throw for no reason. Why break from your mechanics in a clean pocket? Just step up and deliver.
Don't get me wrong, it resulted in a *slightly* less accurate pass and I'm a big fan of mahomes. I'm just surprised that's the play that caught your attention.

I dunno, I think ball placement was actually good on that throw. Low in a spot where only Thomas could catch it. Thomas was going to be blown up if he threw that ball at normal height. Three guys were standing there waiting to knock the hell out of Thomas as soon as he caught it and tried to turn/run. Seems like too often the receiver gets hung out to dry for a devastating hit.
