Chiefs Patrick Mahomes isn't "broken" you ****ing dorks - Page 17

"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.

He looks baaaaaaad, gents. I’m struggling to come up with any silver linings.

He’s watching the rush, he’s a one-read passer, he’s throwing balls into his receivers feet.

He is presently a bad quarterback. He’s not doing anything well out there.

Something is wrong. The question is whether Andy and EB can fix him

DRM08 · 11-07-2021, 05:20 PM

I think Henne deserves a chance to play.

Chief Northman · 11-07-2021, 05:25 PM

Sit him a series or two. Wake his ass up.

Looked sharp on our first drive at least we had a running game but then we get our RT hurt and in comes ACME RT Wile E. Coyte. Just doesn't seem the same offense

11Chiefs · 11-07-2021, 05:37 PM

Broken.. no. Distracted… seems like it. How much time is involved in shooting all these commercials. This is just an easy thing we can all see. Who knows how busy his schedule is outside of football.

All those commercials are shot in the offseason

Yeah, FFS... do people think commercials are shot live or something?

Yeah, that new State Farm commercial you just saw must have been shot during a practice that Mahomes missed... jfc.

How is Patrick supposed to get "fixed" if guys keep dropping passes that hit them in the hands on third down?

I doubt anyone is blind to all of the other struggles on top of Mahomes' struggles.... there's plenty to go around.

They can't seem to get everyone in a groove at the same moment. There's always something to screw it up. Sometimes it is Mahomes blowing it with bad reads or throws. Sometimes it's a drop by receiver, or a fumble by receiver/RB/Mahomes...or a terrible trick play call by Andy to lose yardage...or a penalty by the OL. Always something.

The not seeing the field well goes back to last season. It’s just getting worst seemingly every game though.

I still don't believe anything is wrong with Mahomes. If anything this is a learning season for him that he has to adjust to defenses as they have adjusted to him however his targets need to catch the ****ing ball and at least 4 of his picks this season have been tip balls because his target can't hang onto the heat he delivers so his INT are skewed .

We’re gonna need a FG to clinch this and right now that looks like climbing Mount Everest

MAG · 11-07-2021, 05:55 PM

Definitely broken at this point. Every game he gets worse.
