Okay but again that's not "terrible" by any
objective standard, which takes us back to the absurd language people are using. "Underwhelming" is different than "terrible." He has had 4 great games (2-2 thanks to horrible turnover luck), 2 average/underwhelming games (1-1 including an excellent half in Washington and a loss that Daniel Sorenson alone should take more blame than Mahomes for), and 2 bad games (one of which he won because he's not "broken" and therefore didn't panic when it counted). That's it. There's nothing deeper to it than that. My argument is that he deserves a much longer leash than some people are giving him considering what he's capable of. I don't see how that's controversial to anyone who isn't weirdly insistent on shitting all over the best player in franchise history.
