Patrick Mahomes is never and will never be the reason the offense struggles. Well, if he plays until he is 50, his age may become a factor.

Yes, it appears his play, and decision making, and pocket presence is bad this year, but is Mahomes the reason Mahomes is playing poorly?

Come on man, he is the greatest QB of all-time. He did not suddenly forget how to play QB at a high level.

For me, the reason for his poor play is the offensive line, and injuries. And the tackles have been bad, but I believe it is the lack of confidence in his line and his injured ankle (I bet it's about 85% at this point, but nowhere near 100%) and his fear of further injury, that has caused him to fall short of his high standard of play. I feel like he is frustrated that his line continues to be the reason he gets hurt.

Again, I admit he has not played his best, but I just will never blame Mahomes because he threw for 5,000 yards and 50 TDs in his first season as a starter, and until now has established himself as the GOAT in most of our eyes.

How do you blame him for anything? Yeah, he can throw a bad pick, etc. but I will always believe that any time he plays poorly it was either a great effort by the other team, or there are factors we don't know about.
