Andy, please let Mahomes be Mahomes

All of this is to say that yes, even the best of quarterbacks go through stretches like this. Patrick and Andy are going to figure this out, everything in their history and pedigree suggest they will. For the start we've had to the season, 5-4 seems awfully okay considering the unexpected offensive and defensive problems we've had to start the season.

Patrick is going to have to learn how to be a QB now. He got away the last 3 seasons playing backyard football. Teams have adjusted defensively. They are not letting guys run deep and forcing Mahomes to make reads and go through his progressions.

If he can't adjust he is done. It's that simple. I think he can do it but he has yet to show it. He keeps trying to make the big play instead of just taking what the defense gives.

Mahomes is done, heard it on CP first.

Disagree. People forget the back half of the 2019 season. Patrick absolutely played from the pocket to the point that this board thought Andy made him into Alex. He has absolutely shown he can play this way before.

Also, again --- ALL QB'S GO THROUGH RUTS LIKE THIS.

To say that "Patrick needs to learn how to play QB now" is such a stupid statement after what we've seen him accomplish in his first NFL seasons. We've seen him play excellently at the position and to forget all of that after literally the first slump in his career makes me think you need to take a breather, bud.

Hasn’t shown he can do it? Didn’t he show it for the first month of the season? They were moving the ball exceptionally well with very few big plays.

The narrative may have been a lot different today if not for two dropped passes on third down and Hill’s slip.

It’s like you’ve never watched him play until two weeks ago.

Actually just the opposite. Since the SB last season teams have started taking away the deep ball and daring Patrick to check down and daring Andy to run the ball. Thus far we are barely 1 game over .500 in that ordeal.

I like how you conveniently omitted the dumpster fire of a defense we've fielded until two weeks ago.

When every time you take the field you're down 7 more points, it tends to change how decisions get made.

Uh huh...and when the defense stepped up our offense did dick.

Did we take the field down 7 points today? In fact, GB insisted we blow them out today and our offense refused to take them up on the offer.

I believe at one point we had 3 or 4 straight 3 and out series.

I am no fan of Spags and our D but the fact is it is our offense that has shit their leg when the games are on the line this season.

Baltimore: fumble
Chargers: 4 turnovers
Bills: multiple turnovers
Titans: turnovers and complete suckage

Today our offense made the game saving play because our defense held the other team to 7 points.

Get that? Our offense with Patrick Mahomes needed our defense to hold a backup QB to 7 points for us to win.

Keep posting your polls though....

I’m not sure what those pieces of trivia have to do with you having no idea what you were watching with Mahomes the last three seasons.
