Chiefs Andy, please let Mahomes be Mahomes - Page 5

**BigRedChief** · 11-07-2021, 07:28 PM

He’s not a pocket passer. Maybe someday he will be but we are 9 games into the season. Mahomes as a pocket passer this year ain’t happening.

You want to waste a prime year of Hill, Kelce and a cheap salary year of Mahomes, keep trying to make him a pocket passer this year.

He saved your ass and the season by being Mahomes and making the game clinching play.

Please for the love of god, and to save our season, let Mahomes be who is really is…. Mahomes.

All of that I agree with. He did all of those things from the pocket and did so at an exceptional level to lead us to HFA in our Super Bowl winning year — which is why I’m going to push back so hard against the narrative that he “only knows how to play backyard football.”

He’s in a rut, a bad one, but to rewrite his history as an NFL QB as a Chiefs fan is stupid.

Like this. Easily one of the top 3 worst posts I’ve read on this website.

The fact that you guys are throwing it out there as a defense for Mahomes is mind blowing.

I'd rather think he's in a slump than think he's limited or basically needs a specific playing style to be even mediocre.

I don’t call being able to make plays like the one that iced the game “limited” myself.

I'll concede he made a few great throws, including the game winning one. But outside of those, he was inaccurate all game and out of sync with his recievers.

I think he'll be fine and figure it all out, he's allowed to have a slump, but its literally fact that he's been struggling the last few weeks. I dont see how you can say otherwise.

Actually we do have an answer an it's a rather simple one. Take what the defense gives you. For example, today the defense gave us Kelce wide open for 1st downs twice and Mahomes chose not to take it.

Now some of that goes on Andy as teams continue to invite him to run the ball consistently and he consistently refuses to do it.

I’m not saying ever. He will in time be a great pocket passer. Just not going to be this year. I’d rather this not be a lost season and a “learning” year.

I would think the former but if he can't make the adjustment then it is not good.

Other fanbases are laughing hard at posts like this.

For the most part he has been doing that but he has been really inaccurate this year. Not sure what the cause of that is. I am wondering if he just feels more comfortable dropping so far back but can't do that because Brown can't block that. Also obviously the turnovers have had a huge impact on his psyche.

Look it, today was a breakout game for the team overall in the way of they were winning, losing, winning, losing. For the first time this season we won 2 games in a row.

It has not been pretty. Today was the first game I think we had all season with 0 turnovers.

So if we are to look at silver linings it's we won 2 in a row. Our defense held up 2 games in a roe and we didn't turn the ball over at all for the first time this season.

Mahomes and the offense still played like shit but hopefully that's the next show to drop in the form of a turnaround.

Yes. Very Damon Huard-ish playcalling today.

As someone who has staunchly disagreed with you this entire thread this is a good post.
