The best way I can explain it is by comparing the NFL and XFL. The reason the NFL is so popular and something like the XFL can't stay in business isn't just because people love football it's also the talent level of the players in the NFL make the game fun. So yeah, duh, winning is nice, but watching mediocrity isn't and this offense has looked mediocre since last season.

I think the crux of it that some people don’t want to see is that the issue isn’t necessarily that Mahomes and the offense aren’t top three in the league across a variety of statistical categories, as I don’t think anyone is realistically asking for that. It’s that things are so bad at times that we are missing plays that simply shouldn’t be missed by Mahomes, and mistakes made that shouldn’t happen, regardless of circumstances.
The miss to Worthy being a perfect example. It’s right out of the half, first down, perfect pocket, wide open, you know exactly what you are going to do and it’s simply a terrible miss. Hit that one play and the entire performance becomes a really good one that is both exciting yet efficient, and encouraging about what might come next.
We really just need to see Mahomes and the offense perform much closer to their ceiling and things would look much better for Mahomes and his stats.
