Chiefs Am I crazy for not liking the decision to go deep to Hill?

I’m on my phone, sorry for the lack of embed [help from a mod would be appreciated], but look at this play design:

I’m actually not thrilled at that play.

And I think it’s honestly the difference between Mahomes (who’s great) and Brady (who is the greatest).

Brady will take that dump off to Williams 10 times out of 10 until defenses play it honestly. Chew up 7 yards at a time, never take a risk, and control the game. Next time Hill is open, the odds of another defender cheating deep to punish him will be low.

Mahomes is an ambitious predator, always looking for the kill shot. But he did it at the expense of Hill’s health here.

Sometimes the kill shot is there, but the dump off is always there and Brady will always take it. That’s why he’s so consistent in the postseason, where risky behavior can kill you as often as it wins for you.

This play is insane. Patrick Mahomes is moving 5.3 MPH at the time of throw here, per @NextGenStats.

Which wouldn't be that crazy if he weren't moving 5.3 MPH *to the left* as he threw to the *right*. pic.twitter.com/sLVnB7cpeC
