Which is it?

It’s both.

Give mahomes weapons that can allow him to be more aggressive and not be forced to make miracle plays in the pocket in critical moments. For every missed check down there are a gajillion more critical late plays where mahomes is asked to make a miracle out of nothing. Throwing an aggressive sideline throw or jump ball is a way better use of mahomes than holding your breath on a critical third and long because mahomes dumped a screen to McKinnon hoping he’ll pick up 10. In the first scenario you allow mahomes to be mahomes but you actually have a wr who can help him out. The second scenario takes mahomes mostly out of the equation. And we are more and more leaning into the latter.

Make him do less to create miracle pockets and windows. Let him do more to use his arm talent.
