Mahomes is the best QB I have ever seen.
Some act like he suddenly forgot how to play quarterback. Like I said a couple of posts ago, Mahomes watches probably hundreds of hours of film. He knows what a defender is likely to do, and therefore he knows when the received is open or not open.
In his life, from high school to college, and to two SB MVPs, Mahomes has never passed up open receivers.
In high school, college, and the NFL, Mahomes is known for throwing a lot of TD passes, and very few interceptions. He didn't suddenly forget how to spot an open receiver, and he didn't forget how to sling it while running, etc. He didn't suddenly become an INT machine because he regressed.
If his receivers were just a couple of ticks above competent, Mahomes would look so much better.
Kelce. Pop. Rice. Creed. Thuney. That's it. That is the list of players who have played NFL caliber football all year on offense. And even they have been plagued with drops, fumbles, and penalties.
That's it. Donovan Smith is worse at run blocking than OBJ was at pass blocking. Taylor is a damn joke. Trey Smith is suffering because he plays next to Taylor, and has struggled. I don't even need to talk about the receivers and tight ends not named Kelce.
I am not saying Mahomes is perfect. He makes bad decisions and bad throws. But, if he hadn't played at such a high level today, we would have lost 30-3.
The pick 6 was inevitable. The trick play so close to our end zone was a coaching decision. Trick plays always, always have a much higher risk of failure. That's why they are trick plays and not regular plays. The game situation didn't necessitate running a trick play at that point in the game, at that point on the field.
