PFF: Patrick as a pocket-passer (vs mobile)

[Prison Bitch]

Patrick Mahomes' injury could spell trouble against the Bengals. Plus, how the Chiefs bottled up the red-hot Trevor Lawrence




Rollouts and scrambles matter more to Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid than anyone else. During the regular season, the star quarterback led the league with 183 designed rollouts and scrambles. Not only was the volume there, but he led the NFL with a 90.6 overall PFF grade and an 84.4 PFF passing grade on such plays. The latter is especially impressive, as no other quarterback with at least 30 such dropbacks is within 10 points of that mark (Justin Herbert ranks second at 73.7).

Mahomes clearly wasn’t right after the injury. His passing grade during the final three quarters against Jacksonville sagged at 54.8. His inability to move was the primary culprit for his struggles.

…..Since week 13, Mahomes has been very ordinary when dropping straight back and throwing from the pocket. The Chiefs' approach appears to have become far more conservative, too.

Not sure how good the OL will hold without veteran players like Cam Erving. I'm really worried about Mahomes ankle.

The article lacks important information.

The teams the Chiefs played since the Cincy game:

Denver x2
Houston
Seattle
Denver
Oakland Las Vegas

Bad teams. The Chiefs play down to bad teams, and at the end of the season, they are doing enough to win without showing much. Historically, Mahomes is as good as a pocket passer as there has been in NFL history. The ankle is a definite concern, but the last thing I am concerned about is his ability to pass from the pocket because there isn't a better QB to do so now if the weapons were comparable.
