Mahomes is buying himself time by running towards the sideline because no one is open.
Watch that play and tell me that Schwartz didn't just get completely beat and that it's Mahomes' fault. That's insane.
Schwartz needs to stop getting so defensive of little Schwartz.

Eh, IF Mahomes had just taken a 7 yard drop, Schwartz probably would've been able to engage the rusher. But the fact is that Schwartz never gets his hands on the guy. Is that Patrick's drop or does Schwartz just not get off the snap very well? Maybe a combination of both?
One could say that if Patrick had just stepped up into the pocket from the snap or just not taken a drop, the defender would've had to take a much shallower angle, and Schwartz would've had a much easier time, but I think that's over-thinking it a bit. Patrick isn't prescient, for cripes' sake.
