That gives Reid’s offense more space. He’s always wanted to attack downfield — last year, Alex Smith was the NFL’s best statistical deep passer.
Mahomes has also been efficient, using the cues and concepts Reid prefers, and led the league in yards on deep passes. The biggest difference is how often he takes those shots: a league-high 92 this season, compared with 62 for Smith last year.
“Andy Reid ran a different offense with Alex Smith,” Jaworski said. “It was not a down-the-field, challenge-the-defense sort of scheme. We know it was a dink-and-dunk, quick passing scheme. Because that’s what Alex was, and that’s OK.
