Now personally I don't see what others saw with Thuney. I thought he got pushed around a fair bit. I DON'T think he was a noticeable improvement on Morris and ultimately I'd probably be happy putting a pin in that experiment going forward. Or at least I'd allow it only to the extent that it may allow Morris to get healthy again for a stretch run.
But for those that thought he stabilized the position - how do you explain away how god-awful that offense was Sunday? And if you don't think he did (I don't) what miracle pill do you see on the horizon that's going to fix this?

In that second half, I thought our biggest issues were play-calling, focus, and the QBs decision making.
I mean look at the play he got injured on. Thuney did exactly what you want. Mahomes decided to run straight forward into the interior and put his body in harms way instead of just settling somewhere in the middle and making the throw. Otherwise, why not take the escape hatch to the left (to Thuney's right), and either run for the three yards or find an outlet that way.
Mahomes has gotten himself hit a LOT lately. He's trying so hard to stay in the pocket and that's fine if he'd get rid of the ball in a more timely manner. Insert Brown, hopefully.
