Reading all of this stuff about Pat making all of these throws outside the pocket, big chunks at a time... thinking back to seeing it all the time on his film... I truly think he could be Aaron Rodgers esque in that regard.
I remember before we played GB a couple years back, I created a thread that highlighted what made Rodgers so dangerous. It centered around his ability to slip through gaps to escape the pocket and just torch secondaries that way. Pass rushers have to honor this ability, and they often have to slow down their rush just to 'contain' him.
Mahomes has the potential to be that guy. It is his biggest strength. I'm not saying he will ever be what Rodgers has become (the best pure thrower of all time, IMO), but if he can master the finer points... if he can become adequate at reading defenses inside the pocket.. the ceiling is so damn high.
