He’s in class all himself.

You just don’t see on TV how good he is. There are some throws to wide open receivers but the vast majority are only plays Mahomes makes due to escaping the pocket while simultaneously moving defenders with his eyes.

In the Cleveland game there was a pass to Kelce that simply shouldn’t be possible. Kelce is running upfield with a defender at his hip at an angle towards the same sideline that Mahomes is escaping to, but instead of continuing that oath Kelce basically does a 180 towards the other sideline, completely opposite of where Mahomes is going, but Mahomes still throws it across his body behind the defender to Kelce for a big gain. No receiver should run away from their fleeing QB and no QB should be like “oh that’s perfect” and make such a pass but they do it all the time. There is no defense for it and no other QB that can do it, or other set of receivers that truly understand what he can do which changes how they play.
