Deep routes can produce a sustainable offense against certain defenses and when you have an offensive line that can pass protect consistently. The way defenses are playing the Chiefs, and with our mediocre/bad tackle play, we really should be trying for faster-developing routes. The short routes can be extremely tough to stop, even when defenses know it's coming. Just ask any team playing Tom Brady. I'm not saying Mahomes should completely abandon his greatest strength, just because defenses are playing him a certain way, but we've clearly got to try a different strategy at this point. His primary read is way too often 20-30 yards downfield.
