Yes it does. If mahomes locks on to skyy as a primary or secondary read 4 times and he’s not getting separation or in the wrong spot you can’t blame him for missing him the 5th time. For looking away from him or quickly looking him off. If skyy is making the wrong route adjustments a bunch of times, he’s not going to anticipate him that one time he finds a way to separate free. Every split second of anticipating is a thousand years in nfl time. And Mvs/Watson are boom/bust options. We know this. The majority of the time they don’t get separation. We just rely on them to break free a few times a game. At this point in their career it is who they are. So that leaves the majority of snaps where it’s really hard for mahomes to have any clue who to target.
And this is all by the way contingent on WRs separating. Most QBs don’t even need WRs to separate because in a pinch that can toss up 50/50 balls and ask their WRs to make plays.
The narrative is easy. Right now our WRs are playing like a bottom 5 unit. The whole “blame the qb for not carrying a bottom 5 unit” is shit that should not fly either.
