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.

Andy said something interesting in a post-game interview. He said, essentially, "You can't win in this league without passing the football..."
That tells me that they're still trying to figure this shit out. The reason they were throwing is they still don't know what works for them. They were treating the 2nd half like a scrimmage and calling passing plays to see if certain things worked.
I didn't get it in real time but as I heard Reid, it started to make a little more sense.
They're still feeling for it out there.
