In response to some of the conversation about Mahomes' drop earlier: I think we (and the media in general) overemphasize it. We've been told for years that it is extremely important for QBs, and it might be, but its importance has been negated quite a bit more recently.
So much time is spent in the shotgun that the 5/7-step drops are few and far between. A lot of under center work in today's NFL is working PA boot.
I'm not saying that Mahomes doesn't need some work with his feet, obviously he does as that has been known for months, but the significance of it being perfect is not near what it once was. Just watch Rodgers. He sits back in the gun a very large portion of the time, and his drops look like he is just slowly walking backwards. Doesn't really matter though, cause he puts the ball where it needs to be almost every time he lets it fly.
