Even a halfway decent route changes that to at the very least skyy playing defense on it.

Why the stutter step? Because the Dback was over the top and you wouldn't continue to run towards them for a back shoulder throw. Mahomes lobbed it, if you are expecting a back shoulder, it's going to be a dart on the back shoulder. You aren't going to be able to pick up that ball easily. Let's say you are right and he should have hauled ass right at the DB and not stuttered. It's still a shitty throw and shitty decision by Mahomes, especially with the down and distance.
