But there are multiple angles of the throw. It actually ended up being a drop because even with the less than ideal placement, it should've been caught for a first down.

lol, what? What happened to "he's running full speed downfield; you can't expect him to stop and come back for the ball?" Come on now, bud.
Yeah, the angle I remember was from behind the LoS, kind of zoomed in a bit; you get a pretty good look at Mahomes and his stance. He's definitely pointed slightly to his left, and you can see pretty clearly when he turns his head back to the right and recognizes that Skyy is wide open; he never resets and just tries to flick it out there, even though there's no pressure on him.
But when your stance is pointed to the left and you try to throw to the right, your hips are kind of locked in place; you can't really follow through with the throw. You maybe could get some torque maybe if you lift off your right foot, but he doesn't do that. He's basically flat-footed there.
I think he just got in a hurry. But regardless it's a pretty poor throw, well behind Skyy. And just by resetting his feet that's a really easy throw for big yardage.
