This. He's a hell of a talent. The chargers can keep Mcconkey's ass. I'll take Worthy's ceiling personally

This is solid. Mahomes is not above criticism. And he willingly puts it on himself. They need to find out why this is happening. Personally, I think his play is bad mostly to do to lack of protection. But that's just my opinion.

And you're ignoring the games before that Superbowl MVP. This has been an issue the past 2 years. It's just gotten worse this year.

Why are people so scared of words when it comes to Mahomes? He has regressed the past 2 years. He's not playing anywhere close to his usual standards. But some people are so hung up with the words people are using to describe his play that they want to gloss over the whole issue.

That shit shouldn't matter. I'm talking average numbers here. 7 YPA isn't top of the class... its below average. Mahomes has been below below average for 5 weeks straight. You are telling me losing 1 receiver while gaining Deandre Hopkins turns Mahomes into a pumpkin?

If Mahomes is going to regress to this extent year to year in large part because of shit LT play, then yes, it probably needs to get done even if it's an overpay.

I would think after what we're seeing this year, they will do just that. No more veteran stop gaps, no more hoping 2nd and 3rd rounders pan out. Just spend the money and/or picks and make it goddamn happen. I don't care if we win the SB again, you still go do this. End of story.

People are scared to say it because they think hell snap back to form and they will look dumb.

Needs to come out a lot sooner too.

Mahomes is 100% welcome to regress every season of his career if they all result in a Super Bowl MVP.

Yes? If that's what it takes for Mahomes to be comfortable and play like himself, then that's an easy answer.

Like, if we traded away FAU and Worthy for a good left tackle that can protect Mahomes for the next 10 years, would anyone be upset?

Also, why are we acting like it's impossible to improve at LT without massive investment. Morris is a bottom tier starter and Suamataia isn't fit to dress on game days. It doesn't take a top 10 pick to improve that situation.

Last year the WR’s were a real problem until the playoffs. He would have had 30+ TD’s and 4,500 yards if not for MVS and Toney. They just couldn’t get open. I don’t blame last year on Mahomes.

This year is different. The WR’s are catching the ball at a good rate, guys are open and Mahomes is flat out missing them.

He’s having a down year unfortunately

That's fine for you. I personally like seeing Mahomes play well. In regular seasons and post seasons. My Sundays are A LOT more fun with Mahomes playing great. I'd rather 17 great weeks that lead to a SB MVP run than this shit we're seeing right now. But some people are different I guess

He is absolutely going to snap back to form, as he always does. Doesn't mean people need to be scared to say he sucks right now, because he definitely does. You can't even call yourself a knowledgeable football fan if you try to tell me he's not playing like shit. The excuses about defenses "figuring the league out" have proven to be BS as well, as other QBs are still tearing it up.

Now granted, his situation is less than perfect, but being the GOAT means you step up when things are not ideal. He has not been doing that, but I fully expect him to go into God mode when he needs to again.

I hate to say it, I was never a Smith defender, but we should have Donovan on the phone right now. He wasn't good last year but we've got a real problem.
