We have a room full of conservative pussies right now in guys like this dude and Nagy who don’t seem to be adding anything useful to the offense.
Andy needs to either rediscover his magic or jettison some of these coaches and try to find a Ben Johnson type to come in here and maximize Mahomes’ ability.
Because right now it is being wasted.

Andy is one of the greatest offensive play callers in NFL history and a tremendous head coach.
But I think age is catching up to him.
We no longer seem to have an edge on the offensive side. Most weeks the team we are playing knows our plays as well as we do.
There have been two great updates since Mahomes took over.
One was Mahomes first year where Andy got to merge the best of the West Coach Offense and the college spread with the verticals that had been missing with Alex at QB and terrified the NFL.
Then in 2021 teams basically said we won't let you do those, beat us 8-15 yards at a time.
In 2022 we came back and mastered that offense which was more modernized West Coast to attack shell.
Since that year we have been just kind of floundering on offense with no identity or things that we do that just work.
