Mahomes moving around is creating angles and throwing lanes that don't otherwise exist. And he HAS to do that because when he doesn't, his guys aren't winning reps and the windows aren't there.
At times he feels phantom pressure and scrambles out. But I don't think that's what is happening right now - I think he's scrambling out to change throwing lanes and create plays.
And until his WRs show ANY ability to get open in scheme and on time, that's what he's going to have to keep doing.

Yeah I agree. Mahomes has been waiting in the pocket alot this year, more than usual. He’s really trusting his line. Even when pressure comes he continues to stay in the pocket more than usual
I don’t have a problem with that but it limits some of that spontaneous “Mahomes magic.”
