Things I think it's time for:

Mahomes moving around is creating angles and throwing lanes that don't otherwise exist. And he HAS to do that because when he doesn't, his guys aren't winning reps and the windows aren't there.

At times he feels phantom pressure and scrambles out. But I don't think that's what is happening right now - I think he's scrambling out to change throwing lanes and create plays.

And until his WRs show ANY ability to get open in scheme and on time, that's what he's going to have to keep doing.

I didn’t notice it until I started seeing games live. My sense is the all-22 is also showing things the same way. But mahomes’ wizardry in the pocket this year is next level. And it’s a shame it’s wasted because guys just aren’t getting open. The biggest cluster was how often mvs runs hip to hip next to mecole and it doesn’t seem to be opening up anything.

Now… mahomes hasn’t been the most accurate this year and yesterday in particular he was putting too many passes behind his WRs. But many of those times it’s because he’s been forced to throw through an abnormal platform.
