Chiefs Patrick Mahomes isn't "broken" you ****ing dorks - Page 29

"broken" "abomination" "Rick Ankiel"

These are all words that people used to describe Patrick ****ing Mahomes tonight. I mean, are you listening to yourselves? Rick ****ING Ankiel?????

Look, I'm not going to pretend like he's been himself all year. He's not seeing the field as well as usual, he's struggling to trust his OL and occasionally scrambling out of clean pockets, he's missing some throws, some of those turnovers have actually been his fault and not just the receivers being unable to hold onto the ****in ball.

But all the wannabe psychologists and family therapists on this site are driving me up a ****ing wall. You don't know what the **** is going on in his head and you don't know what affect his family life has on his play.

What you DO know, based on a 3 season sample size, is that he's the greatest QB through ~50 games in NFL history. You know that he's won multiple comeback playoff games, two AFC titles, and a Super Bowl. You even know (or at least you ****ing should, unless you've been too busy moaning to actually read anything), that by most metrics he's actually been pretty good overall this season. His "turnover worthy" plays are actually DOWN from past years. He's #4 in the league in touchdowns. His TD% is identical to last season and higher that 2019. Before Tennessee, which is easily the biggest outlier of his career including the other "bad" games this season, he was leading one of the most efficient offenses of all time in terms of points per drive — yes, better than 2018. I know it doesn't feel that way because so many guys on this team (including, yes, Patrick himself on a few occasions) can't hold onto the ****ing ball. But that's the ****ing truth.

If he were moping during press conferences or lashing out on social media, I might give a little bit more credence to the narrative that he's moments away from a nervous breakdown. Not very much, but a little bit. But he's not. He's being honest (almost to a fault) about his role in the team's struggles and projecting confidence that he can turn it around. What more can he possibly do to convince some of you losers to hold onto a bit of that confidence yourselves? Does he need to go back in time and miraculously heal Schwartz and Fisher and win that Super Bowl? Should he just commit seppuku at midfield? What do you want??

Patrick Mahomes is not broken. He's slumping. Every QB slumps occasionally. Not every QB calls having the 4th best QBR (64.1) and 6th best EPA (46.3, just above the dreaded Aaron Rodgers) a ****ing slump. Personally, even after 8 underwhelming-to-miserable games and a 4-4 record, I'm gonna give the kid a little more leeway before calling for him to be committed to the god damn psych ward. I think he's earned at least that much.

This is how good Mahomes was last night - 405 yards, 5 TD's, and he overthrew two maybe three MORE touchdowns. He was as locked in against the Raiders as he's been all season long, and I think the rest of the league should be worried after that performance in prime time on the road against a division rival.

I think that's a matchup he liked.

Otherwise, yeah, very dumb throw, or he didn't see Abram.

In any case, that's a make up play for shit like the ball bouncing off Kemp's hands for a pick. We deserve it.

Someone was open on the right side around the 15 yard line. It wouldn't have been a touchdown, but it was a sure first and goal. All that doesn't matter though because Williams made one of the catches of the year so far.

And look, that's who Mahomes is - a chance taker looking for the high reward. That is who he's been since his high school days, and that is who we drafted. Being that guy has gotten him a league and Super Bowl MVP so far. I WANT him to make throws like that, that's what he does so well.

As long as he is willing to take the free 10-15 yards the defense is giving him over forcing a 50 yard pass downfield to a blanketed receiver we'll be fine.

Yep. And he looked way more comfortable with all that last night.

He was back during the Packers game but no one could catch shit.

Yeah that's fair. I think Collinsworth said we had five drops in the Packer game?

They weren’t just drops. They were drive killing drops.
