I saw that but I disagree with him.
The play was designed to go wherever the safety 'sent' the throw. When the safety dropped back, it opened up the 1st read. The double move at the top is only the read if the 1st guy is covered (because it's the longer developing route).
Mahomes got the look he needed and had the open 1st read just as he hit the back of his drop. He makes a good throw and it's a big gain. You don't pass on a 15+ yard throw on the off chance that a 20 yard throw just happens to open up. There's simply no way to know if that's going to happen and if it doesn't, you've ****ed that entire play up. Now you're looking at a possible sack that takes you out of FG range.
What Mahomes did is EXACTLY what we want to see him doing - he played within the offense and made the right throw at the right time. He just missed. Shit happens.
What that guy is doing is the epitome of Monday Morning Quarterbacking and it's pretty stupid.
