I wish we could end this narrative that mahomes just forgot how to play ball. When he throws the ball his WRs they make dumb mistakes. Not always but enough to make him skittish. So when a guy does fly open he hesitates. And when those 2 things don’t go well he finds the need to play hero ball.
And never in any of this does he have the option to throw anything contested. Everyone has to be wide open and even with that there’s a good chance someone’s gonna screw something up.
It’s the receivers. Period. Everyone from Reid to mahomes to Nagy to kelce is a byproduct of that. We ask so damn little of them and they can’t even do that, and so to compensate everyone has to work that much harder. And predictably they’re tired and frustrated
