There’s a lot to be said for the OL playing better if you provide them structure. Many have commented that when mahomes drifts he sometimes puts his OL in a tough spot. And we all know improv qbs can be tougher to block for.
But the bigger takeaway for me is how much an under center offense helps out. Even if mahomes has excelled in shotgun and RPO we need to evolve from that, and mahomes is showing he can. He’s doing it very well and he’s just getting better every week at it. He is still allowed to be mahomes, just in a different way. I think he’s way more mahomes now than he was last year when we were dinking and dunking as a counterpunch.
