What the **** are these people watching? Film on what? Perfect reads and perfect throws?
I mean, statistical averages suggest he won't throw 6 touchdowns a game, but these flunkies that think defenses are just gonna "figure him out" are showing their ass. They don't know shit about football.

We short-circuited Tom Brady about 4 years ago in that Arrowhead game (a Monday nighter?) where Clay declared the death of TB12. And that was almost exclusively by dropped a zillion guys into coverage, forcing him to work underneath and just biding our time. He simply wasn't prepared for it and it rattled him.
I could see the same thing happening to Mahomes, especially with as aggressive as he is. You take away the downfield pass and stop worrying about the rush - he might go on the fritz for a game or two trying to recalibrate to that.
Then again, he might not. He might just hit dig/crossing routes all day and laaaaaugh and laaaaugh and laugh his way to a 90% completion percentage and 3 scores without getting his jersey dirty.
Someone might rattle him for a bit...but it'll be a blip. And there's a chance that it doesn't rattle him at all.
