JakeF is arguing that Mahomes has to roll out. He's not rolling out in your video here.

I think this is the issue. It feels like where he was "in the pocket" and where this O-line and the adjustments made by defensive coordinators now requires him to be are quite different. I wonder how much dropping miles back just allowed him to see the field the better and how much being asked to be that much closer in has caused some of his struggles.
