1. Needs to improve his footwork. He’s not as efficient as he could be in his dropbacks. Mahomes realizes his footwork isn’t what it should be and has slowly improved it every year. Impressive
2. Obviously needs to get better at setting protections/audibling. This comes with experience but will take him to a next level. He’s not terrible at it I mean look at Phillip Rivers vs the blitzes
3. Get more experience. Make better decisions, don’t force passes just because it’s 3rd down (see Ravens interception and risky pass to Benjamin vs. Seahawks). Pretty vague, but experience is important
I don’t buy that “early game jitters” line. Where were they vs. the Colts? 3 straight scoring drives to open the game with excellent precision passing in the biggest Chiefs win in the history of Arrowhead.
As for throwing left, I think Mahomes had a higher rating throwing left than throwing right. Amazing talent. He’s dangerous running in either direction.
