This shit is gonna make Mahomes worse. And it's baffling bc it sure as hell looks like Mahomes is right on those. Are these WR's just not smart?
Watson and MVS both had open field downfield where Mahomes throws it but they end up going toward the goddamn safety in the middle of the field rather than the open space.
Mahomes can't do this shit himself.

What's so odd is that I don't feel like we saw this nearly as often last season with basically the same cast of characters.
Why this year?
It really does make one question the coaching. We sometimes forget how subdivided a practice can be. These WRs are spending FAR more time with the WR coach than they are with Reid or Nagy. He's the guy who can do the most to get those details sorted with them.
And he's just not. Though our former WR coach is still on staff (passing game coordinator) and we have a WR coaching the RBs. It's not like there aren't voices in the room that should be able to address this.
I dunno - it may just get back to "Man, it's REALLY hard to repeat in the NFL" because it seems like these are basic issues but we sure seem to be struggling to get a grip on them. Could it be just simple complacence? Kinda seems that way...
