You should watch the games again. You're definitely missing something.

Yeah, ultimately the stats don't lie.
The offense we ran with Thuney was just completely different than what we'd been doing.
Mahomes on deep throws this year takes 3.3 seconds to throw.
Intermediate -- 3.23
Short -- 2.41
Behind LOS -- 1.74
Against Houston and Pittsburgh he averaged less than 2.5 seconds. You're going to struggle to throw intermediate routes in that period of time, let alone anything downfield.
What was frustrating people wasn't the games like those with ADTs of around 6 yards and pop times of 2.4ish. It was games like New Orleans at 3.1 seconds and an ADOT of 4.4. Carolina at 3.1 and 6.6.
I think in a perfect world what I'd want to see is about 2.8 seconds as average time to throw and about 8.5-9 as the average depth of target. I feel like about the closest we got to that this year was the first Raiders game.
And I'm just not willing to live at 2.5-2.6 all season. That's just not going to allow us to use enough of the playbook. We'd get really predictable, really fast.
