Why would this matter at all? Is it better to try and throw hero balls into coverage, or spot receivers who will have room to run after the catch and hit them in stride?
At some point the raw offensive numbers just are what they are, and you don't need a lot of nuance and play-by-play breakdowns to acknowledge it was an outstanding day for Mahomes. Especially when you consider that there is a ton of guesswork for PFF as to what players are supposed to be doing each play.
I'm not a PFF hater. I do place some value in their metrics, particularly around o-linemen and defensive players. Their metrics can be good for trying to provide some objective measurement for areas that otherwise can't be measured. Don't need to do that as much with the QB position.
