Okay, but teams are now BANKING on that tendency from him. And doing a fantastic job of using it against him.
Goddamn Chargers found the "Blueprint" much more than Fangio ever did. This pressure/flow shit they found is a proooooooblem and of course other teams are now copying it against us.
And the only answer to it is for Mahomes to stand in there and fire. And of course, Smith's gonna have to suck a hell of a lot less to allow for that.
Right now opposing defense are creating chaos designed to give the appearance of a play breaking down when in reality it's mostly just bait designed to get him off his spot and play sped up. And he's taking that bait just about every time.
He's gotta stop. And if they start playing him honest again, he can get back to that. But right now they're using his instincts against him.
