Chiefs Mahomes' Confidence?

treeguy27 · 01-31-2022, 08:56 AM

It's been baffling to see him have confidence issues this season. For the last three seasons he has been rock steady in his on field presence. Nothing seemed to phase him or shake him. This season has been the opposite. During the early season struggles you could watch him lose his confidence when those dropped/tipped passes turned into interceptions. He became indecisive and unsure after that. I don't know if all of those interceptions and the two deep safety looks caused his confidence to drop or if they were just a trigger for something else that was going on with him. Either way it was obvious that he was struggling with his confidence. He even acknowledged in one post game interview that he saw players open and wasn't sure why he didn't throw the ball to them. It seemed like he mostly overcame those issues throughout the season but there were times you could see the indecisiveness sneak back in there. Especially the second half yesterday. It's obvious it's still an issue at times. It's strange that it just started happening this year. I don't know if it's something in his personal life or something football related but at times he just looks uncertain about everything. I'm sure he'll figure it out, but it's a little concerning that it's never been an issue for him.

I can picture the scene in "The Last Boyscout" where the guy threatens the star player to throw the game at halftime.

Maybe Brittney and Jackson were being threatened and at halftime Pat had to make a choice...

At least he didn't go out with a pistol... "Ain't life a bitch?"

Ok that was a bit too far, but I still don't understand how you can be the REAPER and then just run around in circles like a clown.

Maybe his Hashtag Challenge with Jackson only got 10s of 10s reviews and it bummed him at half?

It was like after the last play of the first half, he realized how bad he ****ed up and was just like "oh no, not this again. Not now."

And then just let it dominate his thoughts the entire second half.

He may need to see a sports psychiatrist if he isn't already. He simply can't allow himself to get rattled as easily as he did at times this season.

Four years as a starter going to four straight AFCCGs. Pulling shit out if his ass. Superman is comic book character, not real life. He bleeds too

Every star quarterback has had an outing like this.

He'll keep firing. He'll be fine.

Haha WOW.

It's early yet, but I feel confident this will be the dumbest thing I read all day.

Get his house in order.

He's ****ing human and apparently, only now, are some of you learning this. I wish it hadn't showed up in the AFCCG but shit happens. He needed some of his teammates to step up and bail him out yesterday and it didn't happen.

JFC… One week he’s the Grim Reaper then the next he’s a head case.. Come on… He has nothing to prove to me.. Apparently he still has to other dumbasses…
