That's what I don't understand about what Pat is doing these days. He's GETTING himself hit. His indecision back there is what leads to his hardest shots pretty much every game.
But when he hits his drop and fires, things work. And he has guys with big frames and large catch radiuses. He needs to be more aggressive on when he lets them use those. All too often he gets back there, expects to see someone Tyreek open because he dusted a guy and then when he doesn't see that, he pats the ball and starts dancing.
Man, if you have the look you wanted and the receiver doesn't fall down - throw it. Let him make a play on the ball.
Other QBs are doing it. We aren't.

Yeah, I don't get it.
Back in 2021 when the offense looked awful, it seemed like he was really frustrated with play calling or teammates or something... he was throwing a lot of passes at the feet of receivers and of course the offense just looked like shit. There were a few opening drives in particular that seemed to be 'back to basics' drive before it would go to shit.
And then you look at Mahomes earlier in his career and Allen for most of his career, and they had/have all the confidence in the world... Allen's problem makes far more sense, he resorts to hero ball sometimes and is maybe over-confident.
How Mahomes goes from confident/decisive to lost and 2nd guessing on a drive-to-drive basis is kind of baffling due to the huge swings one way or another.... they generally do pretty well on opening drives, which makes sense. And then you give him the ball at the end of games, and he's usually really locked in. Sometimes during a game (end of the first half last night) they suddenly get their shit together, but often this season it doesn't carry over to multiple drives.
